empowering parents and the professionals who support them

The transition into parenthood is one of the most profound (and most challenging) life changes. When parents are well-supported, they’re more resilient, healthier, and better able to nurture their families.

At New Life Classes, we partner with organisations that share our vision of curiosity, compassion, and courage in early parenthood, ensuring parents and those who care for them and work with them receive the highest quality support.

When you partner with us, your team is better equipped, your services are more impactful, and the families you serve feel supported, connected, and resilient.

Our founder, Iona Reading is a trauma-informed parental brain educator and UKIHCA-registered health coach with a background in psychology and antenatal education. Learn more about her here.

I collaborate with a diverse range of professionals, small businesses and organisations who support women and families in pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood, including:

HR teams, nurseries, charities, healthcare providers.

antenatal educators, midwives, doulas and therapists.

yoga and exercise instructors, physiotherapists, nutritionists and more.

local councils, parent networks, wellbeing initiatives.

Not sure if your organisation fits? I’m always open to innovative collaborations that help improve support for parents and families.

Partnerships are never one-size-fits-all. We co-create solutions that meet the needs of your team and community, such as:

bring engaging, research-informed insights to your events and audiences.

support resilience, stress management, and sustainable family wellbeing.

We provide coaching, education, and training, not medical care or therapy. Where specialist input is needed, we always signpost to trusted professionals. Your organisation, your staff, and the families you serve are in safe hands.

Our work spans international charities, national healthcare, and local community initiatives, always with one goal - supporting parents and those who care for them.

Co-designed and delivered a bespoke antenatal education and train-the-trainer programme, training staff from 22 maternity units across six countries. As part of this project, I also filmed a comprehensive training programme for the organisation’s intranet, providing a lasting resource for staff development.

Collaborated to develop an explainer video, designed to educate and support patients.

Delivered a free digital antenatal course during the COVID-19 pandemic, expanding access to vital support for expectant parents.

Served on trial steering committees, contributing expertise in maternal and child health.

Partnered to integrate my signature workshop into their classes, enhancing postnatal support.

I’d love to explore how we can work together to bring parent wellbeing programmes to life - supporting families, strengthening services, and creating lasting change.
