Hi! I’m Anna, and I’m so glad you’re here :-)

I live in Muswell Hill, North London with my husband and our 2 children.

Having worked with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers for a long time, and managing a nursery setting; it was always clear to me how much these early years mattered.

Watching how much they grow and change in the first few weeks and months, and understanding how important the attachments they have and the experiences they go through always fascinated me.

However, until I became a mum myself, I had no idea of the huge transformational experience that pregnancy, birth, and parenthood can bring. The importance of ‘mothering the mother’, and holding new parents in as much love and support as we desire to give new babies, suddenly became very clear to me.

With the amount of conflicting information and unnecessary stress and guilt out there, I knew I wanted to empower expecting and new parents make sense of it all, and find their own confidence.

I have done extensive training as a birth doula, an antenatal educator, a hypnobirthing teacher, a postnatal and breastfeeding counsellor, a first aid trainer, a baby massage instructor, a sleep coach and more! I never stop learning and growing, finding new ways to help and support parents in this incredible new phase of life.

Taking strong evidence based information in to account, whilst helping people work out how that applies to their specific and individual circumstances, is an important feature of how I work.

Being married to a paediatrician, we regularly despaired at the lack of support and information given to parents, and often discussed how a few small changes could make such a huge difference. Together we also now offer our Child Health Information Classes (CHIC) to help avoid pointless trips to GPs and A&E, instead empowering parents with up to date health knowledge.

As a mum of a baby and toddler myself, my experiences are all very recent, so I can promise to give up-to-date and relevant information. I can empathise and understand what it’s like, whilst also respecting everyone’s unique circumstances and supporting you in whatever way you need.

I feel so honoured to be part of so many people’s journey and would love to hear from you, to help make this transformational time as amazing as it can be x
