Sessions Offered
I’m passionate about the benefits of postpartum support. Through 1-2-1 planning, workshops and circles I help people to plan so they can thrive during postpartum and beyond.
Support can help mother heal effectively, regain initial strength and also benefit longer term wellness but the impact is positive for the wider family unit too, promoting family bonding and creating space to listen to instincts and understand baby’s cues.
I’m mother of three daughters aged 12, 10 and 5 with birth experiences ranging from a labour ward to home birth. My postpartum experiences were as unique as each birth because my needs, expectations and preferences changed. I believe there is no ‘right’ way to enter motherhood but that by listening to intuition and surrounding ourselves by those who support and respect our preferences we can ease the transition for both mother and baby.
As an accredited postnatal doula and breastfeeding supporter, I also support families with in-home visits and virtual support during the postpartum period. Whether it’s holding space to process birth, providing nourishing food or helping you navigate your transition to post partum life, I help craft a care plan that helps you and your family to adapt.
