The early months are loud. Not always with noise. Often with pressure.
The early months are loud. Not always with noise, but often with pressure. The pressure to stimulate, to optimise, to fill every waking moment with enrichment. It can feel as though the whole first year is a test you did not study for.
romoma was built to go the other way. We believe the most powerful thing you can do with your baby is slow down. Sit on the floor. Watch them. Notice what catches their eye, how long they hold something, the look on their face when a texture surprises them. Not because it is a technique—but because it is where real connection lives.
A quiet rhythm, the same shape every week.
A calm rhythm every week. Not because we are rigid, but because new parents need to know what to expect. The door is already open. The room is already warm. Croissants from Haxby Bakehouse, Coffee from Roost, roasted in Yorkshire.
A bell closes the session. The croissants stay on the board. Nobody has to leave until they are ready.

Find a cushion.
Find a cushion. A mug something warm and comforting is brought to you. One clear note from a bell, and we begin.

A quiet check-in.
You can pass if you’d rather just sit and listen.

Babies in the centre.
Natural objects—wooden rings, linen pouches, wicker rattles. We watch.

Songs to close.
The same ones every week. Slow and familiar.
Someone who knows how to sit beside you without fixing anything.
Emma has spent her working life alongside people who needed a little more support than the system was set up to give them.
With a degree in Childhood Studies and years as a wellbeing mentor, she knows how to help parents find their footing at the point where things feel hardest.
That work taught her that parents deserve to be nurtured too. The early months are not just about the baby. They are about the person becoming a parent, and how much that person needs to feel held, connected, and part of something. When you look after the parent, the baby thrives too.
Emma spent ten years as a stay-at-home mum to her two boys, Haze and Finch. She knows what the early weeks feel like from the inside.
She is here every week.
This is our gentlest value. We move at your babies pace.
We wait for the reach rather than pressing a toy into a hand. We follow their lead and stop when they stop. This culture extends to you, too. You can sit out a song, leave early, or feed however you need to feed.
We are here to support your postnatal journey, helping you restore and rebalance in a space where you are held and heard.
Fridays at nine thirty. From 5 June.
There is usually a cushion.
