My Big Vision

For every woman who wants to mother in a natural and instinctive way, to feel confident to trust her intuition – even before her child is born – so she is content, at peace and emotionally available for her baby. After all, a happy Mum gives her baby the best opportunity to form a strong, secure attachment with her (and its other caregivers) which means they go on to thrive and flourish as they grow through childhood and beyond, and to achieve their potential in the world.

I said it was BIG!

Becoming a Maternity Mentor

I was reflecting on my business towards the autumn of 2022 and that got me back in touch with my big vision and the fact that I wanted to work with new Mums and Mums-to-be in a supportive role again, similar to my work in a SureStart children’s centre from 2009 to 2016. This led me to complete the Paramana Doula Training with Dr. Michel Odent and Liliana Lammers at that time. This is all SOOO exciting for me and whilst my family life isn’t conducive to being on-call as a birth doula right now, it’s in my longer term plan.

Having spent 12 years working in supportive roles, I have so much knowledge and experience to share. A culmination of that, my experiences and training in breastfeeding support, baby massage, and slings/carriers, and my newer knowledge of teaching mindfulness, means I have so much to offer as a maternity mentor.

However, I also know that the world can be a noisy place, so full of advice from people and I have learned how to take what is helpful to me and leave the rest and I can help you do the same.

I feel that my most valuable experience to date has been having two daughters of my own. Having had two different pregnancies, and two VERY different births and breastfeeding journeys, I have seen what can happen if you lose your confidence and don’t do what is right for you. It is now my mission to support women to trust their intuition and have confidence in their body’s abilities. This will empower them to give their babies the best possible start in life.

In all sorts of areas of my life, my default option is usually the one I perceive to be the most natural. Whether it’s parenting, food, movement, or even skincare, I usually think: “Which one feels right to me?” and wherever possible, I follow that. In other words, I try to follow my own intuition.
