Every family should have access to a Health Visiting service provided for by the NHS. However, some families may like a little more support at critical times during the early days and beyond. Having a baby comes easily to some parents, whereas for others, the adjustments can be a little more difficult. Many new parents find that they are given a lot of confusing and contradictory advice. I can gui
de you through this maze. By giving you information that is up to date, evidence based and consistent, I can help you to make your own informed decisions, particularly in the first year when the responsibility of a new baby can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. My aim is to support parents ante-natally, through the post natal period up to school age, providing non-judgemental and practical support to enable you to enjoy your baby. I will work with you to support you through your decisions, equipping you with the knowledge and confidence to help you give your child the best possible start in life. I am also happy to visit evenings and weekends if this suits you when other family members may also be included if they wish. I offer one-off sessions covering a specific aspect, for example breast-feeding support/weaning or temper tantrum management, through to a complete service which includes weekly visits from Day One.
