MY WHY
I have worked in the birthing world for 14 years. Firstly as a midwife and now as an antenatal practitioner, birth doula and soon-to-be qualified breastfeeding counselor and Infant feeding coach.
In 2018 I started out teaching antenatal education and hypnobirthing. I know and understand the importance of informed decision making and support.
Through my experience of supporting parents in the early days, I witnessed how underprepared people are for parenthood. Sadly so many things are not talked about and often seen as taboo! Not here! I will take you through the early days and weeks of parenthood. What to expect and how to survive it! The course is designed and written by myself, drawing on all of my knowledge and experience as a midwife, birth educator and birth doula. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience and I know exactly what it takes to fully prepare for life with a newborn and beyond.
