Sessions offered:

With over twenty five years of supporting women through the journey of pregnancy & birth into motherhood. I developed my approach under the umbrella of the Active Birth Centre which I ran as co-director for many years alongside Janet Balaskas.

I support women through an embodied approach that includes awareness not only of our physical body but also our emotional, spiritual & mental wellbeing as each element effects the others. Sensing into your physical and emotional inner landscape in an enquiring and curious way, can be truly transformational. You can let go of habits that no longer serve you and find new pathways with a movement practice, that awakens your body awareness, as a tool for healing.

Alongside this I also offer birth debrief sessions which can include Traumatic Birth Recovery 3 Step Rewind as well as one-to-one coaching for mothers, my Motherhood Mentoring packages which support you on your ongoing journey of motherhood. Movement & breath are often part of these sessions depending on the differing needs of each woman. All my sessions our available over Zoom or in clinic.

I also offer enrichment trainings and mentoring to all practitioners who work with new mothers. My Mother Nurture’ training focuses on the all-important ‘fourth trimester’. If you want to know more do contact me.

📰 What’s the latest in Women's Health News 📰

⭕ What’s in a Name? ⭕
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). This change is important as it reclassifies the condition from a reproductive issue to a systemic endocrine and metabolic disorder. The removal of ‘cyst’ reflects an inaccuracy in terminology, as what this actually denotes is arrested ovarian follicles. The inclusion of ‘metabolic’ highlights that this condition can affect the whole body and should be treated as such.
 
⭕ Cancer Treatment Wins ⭕
The NHS is now offering a new targeted therapy (mirvetuximab soravtansine) for women and people living with ovarian cancer. The drug combines a ‘homing’ antibody with a cancer-killing medicine which attaches to ovarian cancer cells. This means that many living with ovarian cancer won’t have to suffer through chemotherapy. As patient Patricia Hill says, “it’s been incredibly positive… this is the first time that I’ve actually been able to get on with my life.”
 
⭕ English Caesarean Birth Rates ⭕
A recent report has highlighted that over 40% of births in England are now surgical, one of the highest rates in the world. This is an increase not reflected in other European countries or the USA. The report cites “demographic, health, social and health system changes in England”. However, this has not been accompanied by an improvement in outcomes for babies and maternal deaths have increased.

⭕ National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce ⭕
The independent investigation by Baroness Amos, which underpins the National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce, is due to release its final report with recommendations later this month. Following this, the Taskforce will publish a new national action plan for maternity care – watch this space.
