Specialist Yoga & Birth Teacher Trainings
FEDANT ACCREDITED · ONLINE · WORLDWIDE
Our Approach
“I set up LushTums because I wanted pregnant and postnatal women to feel comfortable in their changing bodies, to actually enjoy this season of life, and to walk into birth and motherhood feeling prepared, not petrified. Training teachers is how I get to multiply that ~ nearly twenty years on, over 150 teachers have qualified with LushTums and are bringing that same feeling to communities across the UK and around the world.”
~ Clare Maddalena, Founder · Yoga Pros Senior Yoga Teacher · Doula · FEDANT-accredited Antenatal Educator, Pregnancy Yoga Teacher & Postnatal Yoga Teacher · Women’s Wellness Coach

BUSINESS LAUNCH & MENTORING · 1:1s WITH CLARE
Launch Your Classes With Me By Your Side
Qualifying is one thing. Filling a room is another ~ and it's the bit most trainings leave you to figure out alone.
Every teacher I've trained has hit the same wobble at launch: what do I charge, where do I teach, will anyone actually book, and am I even ready? I've seen it all before, I've had it myself, and I know how to get you through it faster and without wasting money on the things that don't work.
This is 1:1 mentoring for teachers at exactly that stage. We work together on your name, venue, pricing, first bookings, local referral network and launch ~ with me in your corner the whole way. Teachers who do this with me consistently fill classes faster than those who go it alone. I've watched it happen for nearly 20 years.
Launch ~ 3 months · £795 (or 3 × £275)
6 × 45-minute Zoom calls with me, every fortnight · WhatsApp support between calls · Full access to my private Launch Video Library · A clear plan for your first 10 bookings
Launch & Grow ~ 6 months · £1,395 (or 6 × £245)
Everything in Launch, over 12 calls · Adding a second class, workshops and 1:1s · Keeping your mums coming back · Systems, so the admin doesn't eat you
LushTums trainees and graduates get 10% off in their first year after qualifying.
✦ For: newly qualified LushTums teachers, or any pregnancy, postnatal or birth professional launching classes
Places are limited to a handful at a time so I can give you proper attention.
