Imagine having one person who can really help, from finding out you're pregnant, right through birthing your baby and parenting them. Someone who knows the needs of your body, your mind, and your wishes intimately and uses evidence-based tools to help you have an easier journey. To start with, a nourished pregnancy is all about mum, baby and the rest of the family being healthy, happy and supported. Evidence shows that a well-supported pregnancy, and a birth experience with continuous support from a non-medical female support person sets families up to achieve breastfeeding goals, have higher birth satisfaction and increases positive outlook as families enter the steep learning curve of parenting. Continuity of care through labour has been proven to improve birth safety and satisfaction and I am passionate about extending that continuity of care from your pregnancy into your journey into parenthood. The most important thing is for you to achieve your health goals, birth beautifully and parent confidently in your own unique and special way. About Nancy:
