Hi, I’m Leanne – Nurse, Doula & Parent & Baby Wellbeing Teacher.

I’ve experienced both an unplanned caesarean and a healing home VBAC. Those journeys shaped the way I support families today. Birth isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your preparation shouldn’t be either.

Here’s how I can support you:

✨ Rooted & Ready – 6-week group antenatal course with ongoing support
✨ 1:1 Birth Preparation – personalised sessions (ideal for VBAC or birth after trauma)
✨ Standalone Workshops – feeding, pelvic health, birth partner skills & infant sleep
✨ Pregnancy Retreats – immersive, restorative preparation days

If you’re processing birth trauma or struggling with your mental health, you’re not alone. I run a monthly peer support group in partnership with PANDAS Foundation, supporting parents through perinatal mental health challenges.

If you’re pregnant and wondering what support feels right for you, let’s talk.

Because mum wellbeing matters too 🤍

Motherhood is beautiful… and it’s also full on.
You deserve space to exhale, to be nurtured, and to feel restored alongside your baby.

Soothe & Sparkle: Mummy & Me Pamper Workshop is a cosy, nervous-system-soothing morning designed for both of you ✨

A gentle blend of baby relaxation and mum self-care, helping you slow down, reconnect and leave feeling lighter.

🌿 For your baby
• Baby Spa, Baby Massage & Baby Reflexology
• Support for digestion, sleep & bonding

🌿 For you
• Self-led mini facial with beautiful Tropic products
• 10-minute shoulder, neck & back massage
• Neal’s Yard goodie bag to continue the pampering at home

☕ Plus warm drinks, nibbles, calm conversation and that soft, reassuring feeling of being in a room full of mothers who get it.

We begin gently together, then rotate in small groups so everyone receives both baby relaxation time and hands-on pamper time. We close with bubbles and a heart-warming goodbye.

This is mum & baby wellness.
Rest. Touch. Connection. Care.

Spaces are intentionally limited to keep it intimate and calm 💫

Birth isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Most NHS antenatal classes explain hospital processes — what usually happens and the standard pathway.

But policies are written for systems… not for you.

Midwives follow person-centred care.
That means your history, your preferences, your wellbeing, your baby — your circumstances — should shape your care.

Inside Rooted & Ready, we go beyond “what happens in hospital” and focus on:
• Creating an individual care plan
• Understanding policies vs personal choice
• Having confident, collaborative conversations
• Adapting when things change

Because being informed isn’t about memorising procedures — it’s about understanding your options.

Bookings open now.

The last day of term is always a little bittersweet. I’ll be honest, I felt a bit discombobulated with my own little ones today after very little sleep… something I know many of you understand all too well.

I just want to say how deeply grateful I am for the trust you place in me. For the giggles (especially when I have a complete brain-melt moment!), for showing up just as you are, and for the real connections I see growing between you and your babies each week.

I love hearing about the post-class coffees and the friendships that continue beyond the mat, that community means everything.

Whether you’re stepping into new classes, heading back to work, taking a pause, or returning next term… I’m cheering you on. Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart. I couldn’t do this without you.

Much love,

Leanne x
