Because I love it, simple as that. I want to make a positive difference to people’s journeys.
I wanted to help empower people who are pregnant, for birth or postnatally with knowledge, confidence and a calm mindset.
I am a mum of two, to a baby and a lively 3 year old! I have been happily married since 2018, and I love the little family we have created.
I am an Antenatal and Hypnobirthing Educator and Postnatal Practitioner.
My experience
I have worked in the NHS in various mental health services for over 10 years, and still do. I have worked with a number of mum’s through postnatal depression and anxiety.
In my current role in the NHS, I work with children as young as 4 to manage any behaviours that challenge, anxiety and/or low mood.
My motivation
When I had my son in 2022, I developed a strong interest and passion in learning about birth, postnatal support and hypnobirthing. At this time, we had a number of life events that really tested my anxiety, as well as a baby with tongue tie and CMPA, I found hypnobirthing techniques really helpful during this time.
Hypnobirthing helped me to feel empowered and manage my anxiety for pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.
I had prepared so much for birth, I hadn’t thought that I might need support postnatally, it is such an isolating time.
Which is why I am so excited to be offering this support to other families now.
My intentions
For people that do not have a “village” or are finding things antenatally or postnatally a bit more challenging than they thought - I want to build that support system together!
I never understood what people meant by “If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life” until I started as a birth worker.
I want to share what I have learned over the years working in mental health and my birth work to help others feel empowered and have a calm mindset for ANY pregnancy, birth or baby experience they may have.
Also, to feel as realistically prepared as they can be - friends don’t often want to tell an excited pregnant person the reality! You should leave a class with us feeling good about the journey ahead.
My training
I trained with Our Baby Club - The Modern Antenatal Revolution (Winner of Lux Life - Best Antenatal Classes and Antenatal Teacher Training Provider 2024 - UK).
For my hypnobirthing training, I trained with Sophie Fletcher (Author of Mindful Hypnobirthing - a must read whilst pregnant! and Hypnotherapist). Being trained by a hypnotherapist on how to teach Hypnobirthing was a must! I completed the Mindful Mamma Hypnobirthing training and this training course I attended was approved by the Royal College of Midwives.
I am also trained in Mindful Mamma first year (a course I will be offering soon!).
I am fully trained and accredited as a FEDANT educator, I would love to support you on the most special journey you will ever go on 🙂
