The perinatal journey isn’t always straightforward. From fertility, to pregnancy, birth and postpartum, there are many changes that create a lot of emotions! I’m here to support you, guide you and help you achieve your goals.
As a certified Counsellor, EMDR Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator and Doula, I know how to confidentially hold space and what real support in the perinatal period looks like.
