I love working with parents – having a baby is both brilliant and challenging, with a lot of conflicting information. My role is to listen and provide a combination of reliable information, support and reassurance to enhance your knowledge, to develop your own strategies and to boost your confidence.
With a warm welcome and a safe space for conversation and questions, these baby workshops provide you with information and reassurance based on evidence and experience.

How do the group sessions work?
- These baby workshops take place at the Wow Centre in Newcastle – there is a small car park, free street parking and it is close to Longbenton Metro.
- I always keep group sizes small with up to 6 parents and babies so the sessions are informal and welcoming.
- My sessions are about conversation, discussion, questions and peace of mind.
- You will have access to workshop guides to use in your own time as well as a private online group for ongoing questions, support and reassurance.
“Your groups were the highlight of my week – such a safe space. Thank you!”
“It’s so nice to have an open environment to talk and ask questions.”
“You enabled me to survive and to help me be the mum I am.”
“I have valued your hugs, your listening ear, your incredible support, your honesty and your laughter.”
