Hello, it’s wonderful to see you!
Well hello! And welcome!
I’m so excited to have gone live with this website and so happy to have you here :-)
I’m Anna, and I live in north London with my husband Adam, and our two little ones. Adam is a paediatrician in a busy London hospital, and our children are both under 2 and a half so life is happy, and full but slightly sleep deprived….
Just thought I’d introduce myself and give a little bit of background information as to how I got here and where my passion for antenatal education and postnatal support came from.
Having worked with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers for a long time, and managing a nursery setting; it was always clear to me how much these early years mattered.
Watching how much they grow and change in the first few weeks and months, and understanding how important the attachments they have and the experiences they go through always fascinated me.
However, until I became a mum myself, I had no idea of the huge transformational experience that pregnancy, birth, and parenthood can bring. The importance of ‘mothering the mother’, and holding new parents in as much love and support as we desire to give new babies, suddenly became very clear to me.
With the amount of conflicting information and unnecessary stress and guilt out there, I knew I wanted to empower expecting and new parents make sense of it all, and find their own confidence.
I have done extensive training as a birth doula, an antenatal educator, a hypnobirthing teacher, a postnatal and breastfeeding councillor, a first aid trainer, a baby massage instructor, a sleep coach and more!
I never stop learning and growing, finding new ways to help and support parents in this incredible new phase of life.
As a mum of a baby and toddler myself, it’s all very recent so I can promise to give up-to-date and relevant information. I can empathise and understand what it’s like, whilst also respecting everyones unique circumstances and supporting you in whatever way you need.
I feel so honoured to be part of so many peoples journey and would love to hear from you, to help make this transformational time as amazing as it can be x
