Let’s talk about birth, babies & early parenting
Hello
I’m Janine, I work with parents and organisations everywhere.
With a unique combination of training and experience, I provide practical resources and support, along with conversations and reassurance about a range of birth, baby and family topics.
Tailored conversations and resources can:
● cut through the overwhelm of information with straight-forward knowledge, based on evidence and experience
● support parents and enhance coping strategies to navigate the change and the challenges of birth, babies, family life and being a working parent
● boost wellbeing and confidence
I have worked with parents for many years, I like the connection and it is truly my passion: not to be the expert telling anyone what they should be doing but to talk, listen, share useful and reassuring knowledge and provide personalised support.

Feedback
from parents
“Janine really understands what new parents need. She has provided a completely safe space to ask questions, share experiences, cry, celebrate successes and build friendships.”
“Your content is brilliant. Thank you for all you post, it doesn’t go unnoticed and it really helps!”
“Janine made such a difference to me when I was pregnant and when I had my baby and I recommended her to my HR department, to provide support for my colleagues.”
“Thanks so much for the conversations during my third pregnancy – the birth of my baby was incredibly positive and talking it through and helping me to prepare made a huge difference.”
“Thanks for reassuring me that I’m not getting anything wrong with my baby. I’ve learnt so much and I feel much calmer.”
“I found our birth preparation sessions so reassuring and useful. You have a very calm manner, which put us both at ease. It has been priceless in giving us the confidence we needed – thanks for everything!”
“I really appreciate having a space to talk with other mums about returning to work after maternity leave, about how hard it has been and how we are not alone.”
