Mother support circle facilitator

My mothering journey woke me up to the fact that many adults of childbearing age just never had the education and experience to be fully able to live, breathe and manage all that is involved in the biological and psychological implications of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding (and otherwise nurturing a baby). I became a passionate advocate of informed choice in birth and breastfeeding /chest feeding. (Please see my list of favourite books to read under ‘useful reading’ and top websites to visit, to help prepare you for birth and breast/chest feeding.)

This led me to work with one of the largest breastfeeding charity organisations of Great Britain and the world, in 2013. I have been volunteering thousands of hours ever since. These years of supporting hundreds of families has led me to believe that you can only ever be successful at these life skills of nurturing a baby, if you have as much support around you as possible.

This support might take the shape of a loving partner, a close family, your neighbourhood, baby classes, breastfeeding drop ins, or social media, as well as all the professionals who advocate for your cause and help you achieve your goals. Your gut always tells you who these people are. I can help you find this ‘bubble’ or ‘village’ before your precious baby is here and I will try to become a small part of what provides the best possible support for YOUR needs.

In addition, if you are North London based, please check out my beautiful Mama Haven offering, with several collaborators: a warm and welcoming space to support all mothers, weekly, in person, in the first year of their parenting life (starting in late pregnancy if you wish). Come and ‘melt into motherhood’ with your local community and under skilled guidance.
