The HummingBee - Pregnancy Retreats Reviews 

We attended the first-ever couples pregnancy retreat organised by Ingeborg, and it was such a beautiful experience. The retreat took place at Moulin Scalagrand, a sustainable farm owned by a very wise, creative, and inspiring woman. The place itself was so peaceful and grounding, and really helped us slow down and disconnect.

My husband and I are both very grateful for these few days. We learned so much about preparing for birth, understanding labour, and especially how the partner can support during labour and postpartum. We now feel much more prepared for what’s ahead: how to speak with medical professionals, what to pay attention to during labour, how to make decisions, and what to prepare for after the baby arrives. I would really recommend this retreat to couples, doing it together brings you closer, creates space to connect, and gives you a real moment to rest before such a big life change. Everything was beautifully taken care of, from the delicious meals to the organisation of each activity. It honestly felt like the perfect mix of preparation, connection, and a peaceful holiday.

As a second-time mom, I didn’t think I needed (read: deserved) a pregnancy retreat. I had already birthed a babe. I knew about birth. I knew about postpartum. Surely, I didn’t need all of this a second time around.

I was so wrong.

I deserved all the luxuries Inge provides in her retreat. Such as chef-prepared, nourishing prenatal meals, beautiful beverages and snacks, and the space to simply be cared for.

I deserved the prenatal yoga practice. It was so much more than a way to relax my mind and body. It gave me the space to connect deeply with my babe. It was the first time in this pregnancy that I truly slowed down and could simply be with my new baby; without a toddler, dog, or a house chore that needed tending to. Just me and my babe. That alone was something I didn’t realize how much I needed.

I deserved the connection that came from being surrounded by 10 other like-minded pregnant women who understood exactly where I was in this season of life. The conversations and laughter were endless.

And Inge created all of that for me (and us!)
But more than anything, this retreat reminded me that just because I’ve done this before doesn’t mean I need to do it alone, or that I need any less care, support, or celebration.

So if you’re a mom sitting on the fence, wondering whether you really need to go, wondering if you can justify the time away, or telling yourself that you’ve already done pregnancy before…

Go.

You deserve this. You deserve to be nurtured, nourished, celebrated, informed, and held. And I promise, Inge will do just that. You won’t regret giving yourself this gift. ❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was part of the June retreat, and it exceeded every expectation I had. It was truly above and beyond anything I could have imagined.

Every single detail had been so thoughtfully planned. The food was exceptional—delicious, incredibly nutritious, and something I genuinely looked forward to at every meal. The antenatal classes were outstanding; even as a second-time mum, I learnt so much and came away feeling far more informed and confident.

The venue itself was absolutely perfect. It was so peaceful and calming, creating the ideal environment to slow down and connect with my baby. The swimming pool was a lifesaver in the June heat, and the massages were the cherry on top—such a wonderful treat.

The biggest highlight, though, was Ingeborg. She is an absolute superstar. Her passion, kindness, and thoughtfulness shine through in every aspect of the retreat. She has created such a warm, supportive environment, and she is exactly the kind of person you want guiding you through such a special stage of life.

I left feeling completely rejuvenated, more prepared for birth, and with a real sense of belonging. The friendships and sisterhood that developed over the week were something I hadn't expected but will treasure forever.

If you're considering this retreat, don't hesitate. It's an investment in yourself, your pregnancy, and your journey into motherhood that is worth every moment.

The best gift I gave to myself during my pregnancy! It's an amazing experience, fully designed to pamper mothers and have a dedicated time to connect with yourself, the baby and other great women at the same life stage. I left feeling prepared, calm and hopeful for birth and more. Inge is so caring and shared the most useful knowledge, yoga and breathwork (another level than common birth courses). We had fun and the food was delicious and nutricious ☀️💫 I will recommend it to friends !

This retreat was exactly what I had been looking for. Between work, everyday life, and taking care of my toddler, I hadn't really had the chance to slow down and truly connect with this pregnancy.

The setting was peaceful and beautiful. We spent the afternoons relaxing by the pool, surrounded by fields and nature. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge.

The food was amazing. Every meal was vegan, fresh, and full of flavour. The private chef surprised us with creative and delicious dishes at every meal.

The rooms were comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully decorated. Even though it was around 40°C outside and there was no air conditioning, the room was still comfortable enough to sleep in.

Ingeborg
 is such a warm, kind, and genuine host. She creates a calm and welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels safe. She is incredibly knowledgeable, generous in sharing her own experiences, and always happy to answer every question.

As a second-time mum who had a difficult first birth and postpartum experience, this retreat gave me confidence, reassurance, and the space to prepare for this birth in a much more positive way.
I couldn't recommend this retreat more highly.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience! The Labor, Birth and Postpartum Preparation session with Ingeborg was truly outstanding — everything covered was super interesting, I learned so much and most of my fears were taken away. I now feel very well prepared for the birth. The breastfeeding course is also incredibly valuable and I would definitely recommend including it.
The food was absolutely wonderful and I was so grateful that my gestational diabetes was taken into consideration — I tolerated everything really well.
The accommodation and surroundings were simply breathtaking, so calm and relaxing. An enriching and memorable experience that I can warmly recommend to every expectant mother! 🌟

I had the most incredible experience at The HummingBee retreat in France. From the beautiful location in the peaceful countryside to the thoughtfully designed program.. every detail felt so intentional, calming, and nurturing.

One thing that deserves much more attention is the food experience. Every single day, a private chef prepared and delivered three incredible meals, and it truly added so much to the retreat. The food was not only healthy and nourishing, but also absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Being able to fully relax and enjoy amazing meals without thinking about anything was such a gift during pregnancy.

What I loved most about the retreat was the opportunity to truly slow down. Life can feel so busy during pregnancy, and this retreat created the perfect space to pause, breathe, and deeply connect with my baby and myself. I came home feeling calmer, more grounded, and much more connected to this special phase of life.

The prenatal yoga, workshops, meditations, and birth preparation sessions were all valuable and empowering. I also loved meeting women from all over the world and sharing this experience together in such a warm and safe environment.

Ingeborg and the entire team created such a loving atmosphere where you immediately feel cared for and supported. I would recommend this retreat to any expecting mother looking for rest, connection, nourishment, and an unforgettable experience.

Incredible and informative experience all with a gorgeous backdrop. Ingeborg created a safe and positive space for all of us to learn, relax and embrace pregnancy, birth and motherhood. Would highly recommend this experience to any expectant mother!

I had the most wonderful experience at this retreat - came back feeling recharged and a lot more knowledgeable and confident in myself and the journey ahead!
Location was beautiful and food was very tasty. Everyone in the group was so lovely and we had every opportunity bond, share, as well as relax and enjoy some time to ourselves.
An experience I’d recommend to any mum to be!

I’ve experienced this babymoon yoga retreat on May this year. It was amazing ! Such a beautiful group of women, in a Lovely place. We’ve learned so much together! Thanks a lot Ingeborg for giving us the keys of a wonderful pregnancy.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into this retreat, but as a first-time mom, it turned out to be exactly what I needed and more.

From the moment I arrived, I felt completely taken care of. Ingeborg creates such a warm, safe, and supportive environment, and you can really feel how much she genuinely cares about every single person there. She shares so much knowledge in such a calm and empowering way, which gave me so much confidence going into this new chapter.

I especially loved the pregnancy-adapted yoga sessions, they were the perfect balance of gentle movement and connection with my body and baby. And the setting itself.. being surrounded by the peaceful French countryside, with time to relax by the pool, made it feel like a true reset both physically and mentally.

The food was truly unreal. Every meal felt like a treat, but also so nourishing - you can tell so much thought and love goes into it.

I left feeling grounded, informed, and so much more connected to myself and my pregnancy. I would recommend this experience to any expecting mama without hesitation 🤍✨

I had the best time of my pregnancy in that place and it exceeded all my expectations! ❤️ Ingeborg is very careful, supportive, and knowledgeable person who deeply cares about each participant. In addition to that, this is the ONLY retreat I’ve ever seen that has such a small group of participants and private rooms with bathrooms for each of us. The food was a next-level addition — it’s literally the best I ate in my life, Michelin star level ✨

I came back home full of positive energy, calmness, incredible amount of knowledge that will support my last months of pregnancy. I will recommend this place to all my friends and highly recommended it here 🙏

Best way to connect to your baby and prep for birth, both mentally and physically. This is my second baby and the retreat gave me the space and time to connect to my baby boy, something that felt much harder at home with a toddler.

The food was to die for, the yoga relaxing and the sessions really informative. The rooms were so nice and comfortable, and really recommend the massage too!
