Hello
“This whole motherhood thing is a wild ride and you definitely want Janine on your side!”
Expectant and new parents can often feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available, unsure of what to trust and what is right for their family.
After 20 years working directly with families during pregnancy and early parenthood, I now specialise in bringing parents’ voices to maternity and family organisations and research, along with partnering with employers to strengthen support for working parents.
Pregnancy, birth, babies, and family life are unique, which is why I offer a personalised approach with conversations to engage, connect and understand the different needs for information, support and reassurance.
“Janine really understands parents. She provided a welcoming space to ask questions, share experiences, offload, celebrate successes and build friendships.”
Working with many parents has shaped my practice and I like the connection and the difference it can make. Effective conversations can strengthen knowledge, connection and support, providing the confidence to prepare for and navigate the changes and challenges of family life.
As an antenatal and postnatal specialist, I have the knowledge and experience to talk with parents about:
- birth & baby preparation
- life with a young family
- baby sleep
- birth reflections & recovery
- feeding & weaning
- returning to work
- work/life balance
- having another baby
- family wellbeing
“You were awesome throughout pregnancy and afterwards. I learnt so much and I felt supported and listened to.”
I specialise in…
● conversations & workshops with parents & families: creating spaces for learning, listening, reassurance, support, questions, involvement and connection.
● creating content & resources: with insights, reassurance and knowledge for parents, researchers and organisations.
● guidance & planning: expertise for organisations and businesses to support and work with parents and families.
This is a small, specialist consultancy offering insight, guidance and practical strategies to better support and work with families.
My practice is grounded in conversations and years of working with parents, meaning I bring something distinct and genuinely effective to organisations.
I work with parents & organisations everywhere.
How can I help you?
