Antenatal courses & early postnatal support in Peterborough | Calm, inclusive, evidence-informed spaces for parents | Prepare for birth, connect with other parents, and feel supported during early parenthood

For legal reasons… I’m an antenatal teacher 😂🤰

I help couples feel informed about their choices in pregnancy, understand drugs in labour, and understand their rights and consent around birth.

And somehow it all still ends with a successful getaway with a tiny human.

If you’d like to plan your heist, message me 🕵️

Social media can be such an amazing source of support and information during pregnancy.

But it can also become a lot.

One traumatic story becomes ten.
One frightening headline turns into an evening of doom scrolling.
Suddenly it feels like everyone online is either terrified or arguing.

And when you’re pregnant, that can really sit heavily.

Being informed is important.

But there’s a difference between learning helpful information and feeling completely consumed by fear and overwhelm.

You deserve balanced, evidence-based support that helps you feel informed, reassured and more confident in yourself and your choices.

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is pause the scrolling and have a real conversation with someone you trust instead.

And if you’re looking for calm, personalised antenatal support during pregnancy, my private sessions are always a judgement-free space to ask questions, talk things through and feel more supported heading into birth and early parenthood.

A lot of people are interested in private antenatal support but aren’t fully sure what a session actually looks like.

Honestly? It’s usually much more relaxed than people expect.

We chat through your questions, worries, preferences and priorities, then build the session around what would feel most useful and supportive for you.

That might include:
✨ birth preparation
✨ understanding your options
✨ coping techniques
✨ practical antenatal education
✨ feeding conversations
✨ birth partner support
✨ early parenthood prep
✨ or simply having space to properly talk things through

No pressure. No judgement. No expectation to already know everything.

Just personalised support that meets you where you are

One thing I wish more people were told during pregnancy?

You do not have to feel completely calm and fearless about birth in order to prepare well for it.

So many people think they’re “doing pregnancy wrong” because they feel anxious, overwhelmed or unsure sometimes.

But confidence doesn’t mean never feeling nervous.

Usually, it means:
🤰 understanding your options
🤰 knowing where to find good information
🤰 having support around you
🤰 feeling able to ask questions
🤰 learning tools that help you cope
🤰 and knowing your voice matters

Pregnancy and birth can feel really big sometimes. That’s normal.

You’re allowed to feel nervous and capable at the same time 💪

Hi lovely people — I’ve been a bit quiet on here again🤦‍♀️

First my darling daughter kindly shared Hand Foot & Mouth with me (would not recommend 😂), then we headed off for the most magical trip to Disneyland Paris. ✨

But I’m back now, slowly catching up on life, messages and work, and feeling really excited to support some lovely parents-to-be again.

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is just how overwhelming pregnancy can feel sometimes. There’s so much information online, so many opinions, scary stories, and pressure to somehow know exactly what you’re doing.

That’s such a huge part of why I offer private 1:1 antenatal and Hypnobirthing support.

These sessions are completely tailored to you. Your questions, your worries, your preferences, your experiences and the kind of support you actually need.

Whether you want:
✨ To feel more prepared for birth
✨ Calm, personalised support during pregnancy
✨ Evidence-based antenatal education
✨ Space to ask all the questions on your mind
✨ Support navigating your options and choices
✨ Practical tools for birth and early parenthood
✨ Or simply someone in your corner helping you feel more confident…

…I’m here 💛

If you’re pregnant and thinking you’d love some more personalised support, feel free to pop me a message and we can have a chat about what might work best for you.

It’s funny how in pregnancy there are so many words people just use…
and it’s often assumed you know what they mean.

In reality, a lot of people are quietly googling things like this, sometimes late at night, sometimes getting more confused, and sometimes ending up with information that doesn’t actually feel that helpful.

And honestly, why would you know all of this already? It’s not something most of us have ever been taught.

That’s exactly what antenatal support is for.

A space where you can ask anything, go over things at your own pace, and have it all explained simply, without assumptions or judgement.

So if there’s anything you’ve come across and thought “I should probably know what that means…” that’s exactly the kind of thing we can talk through together

GRWM to teach a private antenatal class ✨

A bit of typing and tweaking to personalise the session, printing, laminating… cutting things slightly wonky on the mini guillotine (don’t tell my perfectionist sister 😂)… packing goodie bags and doing that last minute “have I forgotten anything?” check about 400 times.

Then in the car with Radio 4 on, heading off to Cambridge to meet some lovely parents-to-be 🚗

This one’s a 1:1 course which is always such a nice, relaxed way to do it. We can keep it really informal, chat things through properly, and make it completely about you, your plans and what you actually want from birth.

No rushing, no trying to fit everything into a set structure, just a proper personalised session.

I offer private antenatal courses in Peterborough and within about an hour’s travel. So if that sounds more your kind of antenatal class, just drop me a message ✌️

I’ve been a bit quieter on here lately, and I just wanted to pop on and say… I’m still here

You might notice I might be a bit quieter going forward, but I haven’t gone anywhere.

At the moment, I’m only offering a small amount of one-to-one support while I focus on a few things in the background, one of which is a formal complaints process relating to my own maternity care.
I want to be really clear, I’m not sharing this to worry or overwhelm anyone. I’m sharing it because I believe deeply that every woman deserves a better, more respectful maternity experience. But I’m also making sure I go gently with myself in this process.

Alongside this, I have something I’m SO excited to share—The Parenthood Space. I’ve recently been awarded funding by Mind CPSL to run a supportive pregnancy and postpartum space for parents. I’m going to be busy planning and organizing it, I want it to be a really safe, welcoming space for connection, reflection, and support.

I’m also still working on a brand-new affirming antenatal course with Katie from Curiously Divergent.

So while things might look a bit quieter from the outside, there’s actually so much growing in the background 🌱

Thank you, as always, for being here and for your ongoing support, it means more than I can say 🌸

“We gained so much confidence and the tools we needed to feel comfortable…”

Kyle and his partner felt reassured going into their second birth, just like many parents attending our group courses.

Every birth is different—but learning tools and understanding the process can make a real difference.

Next group course starts 25th April, with private sessions also available (limited Easter offer).
