Antenatal Preparation
Have you prepared for feeding your baby? Breastfeeding is the biological norm, but that does not mean it is easy. I am passionate about helping you prepare in advance, so that you are several steps ahead. Thorough, Realistic, Practical & Relaxed.
Stand-alone or several sessions available.
Postnatal Support
As a Private Midwife I can offer personalised care in your home, during the first 8 weeks of your new family life. This is to complement your NHS midwife appointments (usually covering the first 10 days) and will focus on in-depth support with breastfeeding. I am passionate about empowering you to feel positive, confident and able to trust your instincts as a mother.
Tummy Time is integral to your baby's development and this course covers the principles & history, benefits, position options, and fun techniques that are appropriate for the age & stage of your baby, using interactive props and songs.
This 3-Week course is oh so practical, key for development and fun at the same time! In an informal & sociable environment, you will learn ways to support the strengthening of their muscles, help visual focus, promote gross motor skills, minimise a flat spot forming on the head, and plenty of play ideas.
Suitable from Birth - 5/6 months.
Luxury Goody Bag & WhatsApp group included!
