About Me
Supporting Mother's & People's Wellbeing in South East London
& North Kent
I set up Mother & Bump simply because I know how important it is to feel supported on this exciting but overwhelming journey of Pregnancy, labour, birth and new parenthood.
I believe it negatively impacts us if we are left alone without physical, mental, and emotional support for Mother Parent and baby.
The birth of my son had a profound impact on my life; neither my pregnancy nor the birth of my child was easy, but they were certainly an education! I learnt that if I had been more self-empowered and more knowledgeable, many things could have been different. This was the inspiration for my work with pregnancy, birth and beyond.
My passion Over the last 16 years has taken me on a path of working with families offering Maternity Massage, offering Doula Support, Antenatal Education and Perinatal Counselling.
