Notes For Parents

You can also sign up for the free newsletter.

From pregnancy to the teenage years, these notes are short but useful so you can read them in bed, as you make a brew or on the go.

 

For knowledge, confidence & reassurance

As expectant and new parents you might sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of information and advice offered to you. It is also easy to feel frustrated and lost with information that may be incorrect, inconsistent and just not right for you.

With information – based on evidence and experience – and sessions which focus on you, you will be:

• listened to
• well informed
• able to find what works best for you and your family
• reassured and supported

With 1:1 sessions and support, as well as a range of guides, resources and posts, my practice aims to…

1. Enrich early family life
   With trustworthy information based on evidence and experience
   
2. Inform and educate
   With a solid foundation of knowledge
   
3. Listen and reassure
   To ensure that you are heard, so you can ask questions, share your challenges and feel supported
   
4. Empower and boost
   So you have the confidence to find what works for you and your family

“You were awesome throughout pregnancy and afterwards – I learnt so much and I felt supported and listened to.”

Consultations

These sessions are tailored to you during pregnancy, for your birth & baby preparation, with your baby and for you as a parent. Sessions can be in-person or by video call.

“I didn’t even know consultations were an option – it has been great to talk things through and to focus on what I need for me and for my family.“

Courses & Guides

You can access a range of antenatal and postnatal guides to go through at your own pace, with personalised resources and follow-up emails to see how you are getting on.

“You have created some brilliant resources – the information has been so useful.”
