I have particular knowledge of coping with pregnancy-related ailments and problems, for example pelvic pain, digestive problems, energy and sleep, feelings about pregnancy and birth.
I teach yoga for pregnancy, and can advise on appropriate exercise and yoga postures in pregnancy.
I specialise in preparing for birth, particularly in the field of making birth normal, and helping all parents plan for the birth they’d like.
I have a depth of knowledge of the information, skills and beliefs that a woman and her partner can bring to the birth experience, to best enable labour and birth.
Pregnancy and preparation for birth are times of great change, when women often want plenty of information and support. Midwives and doctors are often unable to give the time and unbiased information that women want.
As an active birth teacher and mother of three, I have 18 years of experience in supporting women and their partners through the physical and emotional challenges of pregnancy, and in helping them prepare for a satisfying experience of birth.
