Version 4

I first trained as a Mechanical Engineer but have since radically changed direction in the pursuit of support of women. Following the births of my 3 children, I realised that women in Northern Ireland, and in particular rural Tyrone and Fermanagh, have very few options for support during their antenatal and postnatal journeys. I became fascinated by the physiology of birth and questioned why it so often went “wrong”, and so began my passion for sharing knowledge of birth, our bodies and our vast capabilities with anyone who would listen! I took the opportunity to train with the local Doulas of NI as a doula and later trained as an Antenatal Educator. I also volunteer with the Western Trust as a Breastfeeding Peer Support Worker.

If you would like to know more, you can book a free 15 minute consultation.

What

Postpartum Care packages

Each family is unique and so is the support will be as you decide is required but it is generally provided during the first 6-8 weeks. All support is to aid the mother and baby bonding and to help the wider family adjust to the rhythm of life with a newborn. I very much believe that we need to mother the mother and this is where my emphasis lies.

Pregnancy and birth support packages

From £500
Each pregnancy is unique and so the support I offer can be tailor made to your needs.

Antenatal Education

Knowledge is power. When you understand the amazing capabilities of your body to grow, birth and care for your baby, you can enter labour and begin motherhood feeling powerful and confident. I offer evidence-based information on all things pregnancy and childbirth related, from where to birth to common interventions and the impact on the postnatal period.
