All Motherlylove products have been formulated and blended by their founder, Jan. The products are safe and effective for both mother and her unborn baby. Here Jan talks a little bit more about MotherlyLove in her guest post:
I am Jan, to share my expertise as a midwife, clinician and aromatherapist, I
created this range of luxurious Motherlylove products to use at this
exciting time of your life. Over the years I’ve helped thousands of mums and their partners have a positive birthing experience both in hospital and at home and through my experiences I’ve learned that some of the traditional ways still benefit us today. Being a medical professional, I wanted to understand more about how they worked and obtained a BSc (Hons.) in Complementary Therapy.
The Third Trimester Baboo Box includes Motherlylove’s Award winning Due Date Pregnancy and Labour Massage Oil, which you can enjoy using from 34 weeks.
