Relaxing
Getaways
Luna's parents have designed this service following their first hand experience of escaping soon after she was born. We understand how crucial it is to have a safe space away from home that you can escape to in order to process what has happened, grieve in peace and reconnect with your loved one.
How does it make you feel?
Please ask yourself the following before deciding on this service:
-
Do you need to escape the everyday silence of returning home without your baby?
-
Do you need time to process what has happened?
-
Are you in need of recovery time having just completed life’s hardest task of giving birth?
-
Are you in need of some respite away from normality to grieve in peace?
-
Do you need something to look forward to after you have said goodbye to your little love?
