success stories so far…
Lily Mortimer
I attended the ZenKids training course in Norwich... it has honestly been life-changing. I have learnt so much about myself and how yoga can have a profound effect on children, it's been an amazing and enriching experience. Jackie is a true inspiration and has a wealth of knowledge and a captivating way of teaching and sharing with a group. I loved every minute and will absolutely be signing up for future courses.
So far we have over 100 ZenMuma Graduates who have all completed their certifications and are making people happy with yoga around the country! That’s over 100 women, supporting other women emotionally and physically, supporting their families financially through choosing to work around their lives and their family, to create a life they want to live. You GO girls!
over 100 women trained, and out teaching, could you be next?

I completed the full ZenMuma certification and I am so glad I did as they complement each other. I now run my own business as ZenMuma Amber, teaching Hypnobirthing, Pregnancy, Baby and Kids Yoga and I felt well prepared to do so. The courses were all packed full of information, practicals and the chance for discussion. Jackie is so knowledgeable and supportive. The best testament to the trainings is that in a testimonial I was described as "well trained".
Lucy ‘The Yoga Teacher’
Lucy qualified in pregnancy yoga and is already teaching her local mums to look after their bodies and to have a calmer and easier birth, well done Lucy!
Jaqueline ‘The Swimming Teacher’
Jaq has chosen the ZenMuma license route and has done the WHOLE certification! She has already launched 3 pregnancy yoga classes in South Norfolk! Well done Jaqueline.
Vanessa Lindsey, pilates teacher & ZenMuma gradaute
I completed the ZenMuma training in pregnancy yoga and post-natal/baby yoga in 2018. It was a great experience, and fun working with Jackie. I was very excited, but also apprehensive, to start a training course having had my own baby (the second one) only just over a month beforehand. But Jackie was very supportive and having my own model to practice with was very helpful! I enjoyed researching and completing the coursework, and it has enriched my own understanding of yoga and its benefits. I am very pleased to have completed this training and have the knowledge and experience to share the benefits of yoga with other mums and mums-to-be!

founder & CEO
My dream for ZenMuma is to be a family of caring and inspirational yoga and hypnobirthing teachers, where we passionately train expectant and new parents in the tools and techniques of using yoga, breath, positive thinking, mindfulness, self-care, adventure, and humour to navigate their way through new motherhood and parenthood.
Grace Elliot, former teacher & ZenMuma graduate
I was drawn to ZenMuma training because I did hypnobirthing with Jackie when I was and found it so helpful I wanted to tell other people about it. One if the things I like so much about the courses is the perfect mix between practical and theory as I learn more by seeing and doing than I do by reading and listening. As a (former) teacher, I guess what's great is how the training is almost taught in sections/lessons and the guidance for planning your own lessons is made really simple with the theme ideas.
the zenmuma reality
The reason why we know this model works, is that ZenMuma founder Jackie Heffer started her own pregnancy yoga, baby yoga and hypnobirthing classes in 2010 in Norwich, Norfolk. A former TV executive she wanted a career that had a great message and meaning, and as a mum who suffered herself from feelings of pregnancy and new mum anxiety, she understood there was a lack of community and support for modern mums.
Her subsequent numerous trainings and then first classes she taught opened her eyes to the demand and the need in her local area for classes to promote ways to stay calm, to form supportive communities and to teach mindfulness and coping strategies to mums – all in an approachable friendly.
Jackie started with 3 classes a week and was able to take home not just total job satisfaction, but also profit for her family of £12,000 a year. By January 2017 she had built to 8 classes a week, comfortably making upwards of £30,000 a year in a job she absolutely loves, which fitted around her family.
With our help, you can do that too.
