All About Me
As a mother of five children who has experienced first hand some of the struggles with pregnancy, birth and feeding my babies. I understand how frustrating it can be when you have nobody who you can turn to. This experience inspired me to dedicate my life to helping parents with their little ones.
There is an old saying that it takes a village to raise a child. We often do not have a village of support around us anymore. Busy lives and being away from family means many of us raise our children with little help.
I aim to offer support from pregnancy right through to supporting you when baby arrives. I have specialised in a range of support services to enable you to build up a close friendship with me and use as little or as many of my packages as needed!
