Do you want to navigate your Childbearing Year with confidence?

 

I offer practical, physical and emotional support to help you feel empowered, informed, respected and cared for throughout your journey.

What I can offer during pregnancy:

  • 2/3 prenatal sessions to get to know each other, discuss your wishes and needs, create a birth plan etc.

  • available for phone, text and email support.

  • advice on active birth positions, breathing exercises and massage techniques for use during pregnancy and labour.

  • on call for you, 24/7 for 2 weeks before your due date until your baby is born. 

  • offer guidance and signpost you to resources, organisations and individuals so you can be fully informed to make your own choices about your birth.
