My Story
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to look after babies. In 1995 my dream came true when I trained at Great Ormond Street Hospital as a Paediatric Nurse.
I later moved to Paediatric Accident & Emergency at a London hospital where I continue to work. I have had various Paediatric Nursing and Health Visiting roles in London. This year, I have been in the NHS 30 years!
I trained to be a Certified Infant Massage Instructor in 2006. I was completely blown away by the benefits for parents and babies. The classes have been such a special part of my work ever since.
Back in 2006 I recognised the need for a relaxed and friendly service to address common parental concerns. Baby Step was born. Practical essentials and emotional support with First Aid, Weaning, Baby Massage & Relaxation and Soul-Full Mama. The world has changed hugely in 20 years. Post pandemic there is a decrease in NHS services, parents often don't have a 'village' and there is an overwhelm of information. My Weaning SOS reduces the anxiety created by social media.
It is an incredible privilege to share in families challenging times. My mission remains the same 'Relaxed Parents, Happy Babies'.​ I feel I have the best job in the world.
​​I am Mummy to Isabella and William, which makes everyday magic....and full on! I’ve been there……being a parent myself gives a personal touch to my work as I understand the emotions, struggles and practical juggles. My Soul-Full Mama course gives you a gorgeous Support Toolkit to manage the rollercoaster of being parent.
After running Baby Steps in London for 13 years, we moved to Hampshire. Here I have a beautiful studio in the woods which offers a calm cocoon for new parents and babies with courses and events. Plus my online courses mean I can help even more families.
​
Whether it's here at the Studio, in your home or online, I can not wait to support you and your little one,
