About Me
I am so passionate about what I do, so work never really feels like work to me, I genuinely love it. I find being around babies incredibly relaxing and enjoy the challenge of helping them settle and sleep. It feels instinctive to me, and I truly believe I have a natural aptitude for working with them.
I have spent decades working closely with people and families in trusted, personal relationships. My work gives me the great privilege of being a confidant and advisor to so many, drawing on both the valuable life lessons I have encountered and the knowledge I have gained through the courses I have undertaken.
When I’m not working, I enjoy staying active, taking long walks in the forest, and immersing myself in the theatre and comedy shows. But my absolute favourite pastime is spending quality time with my two grown-up children.
“Great Service is not just about what you do, it is also about how you make people feel”
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do”
“To give great service, you must add something that cannot be bought with money. That is sincerity, integrity and genuine care”
My Story
With over 25 years of experience as a pre and postnatal exercise specialist, personal trainer, and nutritional advisor, I am also a proud mother of two who truly cherishes the joy of being around babies. My journey into maternity care began when I assisted a postnatal fitness client who needed support with her newborn, and in that moment, I discovered my true calling. As a natural caregiver, I find immense joy in nurturing others.
Since qualifying as a Maternity Nurse Practitioner, I have committed myself to continuous learning in the realm of newborn care. I take great pride in being punctual, reliable, and professional, ensuring a personal yet respectful approach to every family I work with. My positive energy fosters a supportive and discreet environment in your home. In my comprehensive newborn maternity care package, I offer extensive support for both the new baby and mama, which includes postnatal nutrition guidance, physical rehabilitation, and emotional assistance to help navigate the challenges of motherhood. I am dedicated to ensuring that both mother and baby thrive during this precious time.

Our focus is on gentle exercises that are both safe and effective, coupled with nutritional guidance that supports your healing process and enhances your well-being during this crucial time.

Prioritizing time for yourself during the early stages of motherhood is vital for both your physical and emotional health.

Proper nutrition lays the groundwork for a healthy beginning for both mother and baby and my Nutrition for Mum and Baby service is tailored to support breastfeeding, enhance gut health, and offer family-friendly meal plans that nourish the entire household.
