New Harrogate pregnancy and wellness clinic to open
A pregnancy and wellness clinic called Cocoon will open on Victoria Avenue in Harrogate on Saturday (February 3).
The clinic will offer private scans and midwifery care to families in Harrogate and surrounding areas, as well as support.
Mother-of-two Sam Naughton founded Cocoon after experiencing her own difficult path to parenthood.
In 2022, Ms Naughton gave birth to son Alby but previously lost her baby, Willow, at 10 weeks, meaning she had many private scans during her pregnancy with Alby. 
This appointment process inspired her to create Cocoon as a means of nurturing parents at every and any stage of pregnancy.
Ms Naughton said:
A private scan room at Cocoon.
The business will provide ultrasound scans alongside bereavement therapy, life-coaching and mentoring.
The Cocoon team consists of five specialists, including sonographers and midwifes.
The clinic has also partnered with local midwifery organisation Taking Baby Steps, which will be on-site two days a week to provide support to families pre, during and post pregnancy.
Cocoon also offers scans throughout pregnancy, starting from six to 11 weeks through to 36+ weeks, as well as gender and 4D scans.
