Throughout my career as a Midwife it has been evident that quality, current and relevant information and advice in pregnancy can make a significant difference to a couples’ experiences of pregnancy, labour and birth and their transition to life with a new family member.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time teaching NHS antenatal classes and have since gone on to develop a great range of flexible antenatal education options to suit all needs, from fully bespoke private couples sessions, mix and match workshops to full antenatal courses at an affordable price, all with an ongoing advice and support service.
One to One sessions
These sessions are completely bespoke. Perfect for first time parents or a refresher for a second or subsequent pregnancy, a private natural therapies tutorial or to learn more about a specific area of pregnancy or birth that is particularly important to you, From a one off two hour session to a full one-to-one private course, these are always 100% tailored to your specific needs.
Mix and match workshops
