The pregnancy bonding programme
Discover A Unique Integrated 1001 Days Pathway of Care for Attachment, Wellbeing and Early Developme
Our Dragon Story is owned and operated by Hands on Babies Ltd. Hands on Babies have been operating for over 15 years and have worked with a wide range of individuals, Local Authorities, NHS Trusts and National Charities. Initially established to deliver post birth attachment programmes in the form of Baby Massage and Baby Yoga Instructor Training, our passion for Bonding and Attachment during the crucial period of pregnancy led to the development of The Pregnancy Bonding Programme.
The Pregnancy Bonding Programme is designed to provide comprehensive knowledge, skills and a flexible delivery framework to enable pregnancy support practitioners to empower expectant parents to form strong and positive bonds with their unborn babies.
“We recognise and understand the pressures & the wide variety of professional roles undertaken by pregnancy support practitioners both in primary and specialist care routes. Our programme has therefore been designed as a highly flexible, easily implementable workforce tool for any organisation wanting to support and empower expectant parents to form strong and positive bonds with their unborn babies.”
