Often in the quest for helpful information new parents find themselves overwhelmed by conflicting advice from various sources, their own instincts crushed as feelings of confusion and exhaustion threaten to overshadow this special, yet hugely challenging time. As a Specialist Family Nurse with a background in paediatric nursing and health visiting I am passionate about empowering parents with the confidence and skills to find their own unique style of parenting. 

I am able to offer a flexible service where I can see families in the evenings and at weekends if required, at a time that is suitable for them, working with parents to create a package of care unique to their own individual and family needs.

Emotional health and wellbeing

Managing a new baby is an experience that can be difficult to prepare for. We are all different and the way we respond and adapt to this huge life transition depends on many factors.Research shows that the right support and guidance at this time is a protective factor against postnatal depression and this in turn has a positive impact on a baby’s development. I work with mothers and fathers to promote emotional health and wellbeing by offering one to one support at home and through courses and workshops.
