Expectant parents now have a unique and engaging way to prepare for birth with the new Bloomin’ Marvellous: The Antenatal Guide and Colouring Book.
Created by qualified midwife Samantha Pantlin, the spiral-bound A4 book pairs mindful colouring activities with essential knowledge for labour, birth and postpartum life – all in a friendly, conversational tone.
“Pregnancy can be overwhelming, and while there’s a wealth of information available, it’s not always easy to digest,” said Sam.
“This book provides a calming and enjoyable way to absorb key knowledge about pregnancy and birth while also encouraging relaxation and mindfulness.”
Based in Christchurch, Sam runs Bloom and Balance Therapies, specialising in both pre- and postnatal therapies including aromatherapy, moxibustion, massage and reflex zone.
