This range of baby guides have been designed for you to complete at your own pace. Packed full of experience and expertise, each one will provide you with a foundation of knowledge, strategies, ideas and reassurance.
Each guide is clear and practical, based on good practice, experience and listening to parents. With resources to use in your own time, each one is interactive and can be personalised to you – you can also include a consultation with me to talk it through and ask any questions.
These guides enable you to focus on specific issues as part of your baby preparation and to use as a pocket guide for tips and reassurance when your baby is here.

As part of my work with parents who have a baby, I created a range of resources to accompany my postnatal sessions and workshops and I have now developed these as pocket guides for you to read and use in your own time.
You can arrange 1:1 sessions with me at any time to talk through your questions and to feel more reassured about as a parent.

Working with parents since 2002
My face-to-face sessions are ideal for parents across Newcastle & Tyneside. With video sessions, I work with parents everywhere.
