‘The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.’ ~Rajneesh

It sounds so simple “a happy mum equals a happy baby”. But becoming a mum is a big change and my experience of working closely with news mums suggests it often doesn’t go the way we expect.
It’s a challenge, late pregnancy prevents good sleep, birth is exhausting and then the real learning/work starts
and all the time our culture expects you to continue juggling all your other life roles.
I am passionate about the need for realistic expectations of mums who should have space to enjoy the joy of
babies and be supported with the changing life patterns and through the times that could be better.

I offer individualised practical and emotional support packages to help you as and when you need. These are offered with a down to earth non judgemental and common sense approach.

For example these can be based around providing time to talk through what is important to you, dealing with worries, concerns or practical issues, encouraging you as you develop new skills as a mother or father, looking at ways to protect/build your self esteem & confidence and preventing or working through post natal depression.

These sessions can be one off or there as often as you need, they can be held somewhere that suits you - including the local coffee shop or your home.
Please contact me for more information
