Let’s begin with a
conversation about becoming mum
for the first time ....
Why not have the best start to motherhood the first time round?
When it's put like that. Then yes of course, makes total sense. Here's the thing though. You don't know what you don't know. How do you know doing a series of things before the baby comes will help massively both for your wellbeing but practically when the baby is here. How do you know having support will give you huge peace of mind and resolve issues quicker...?
In my doula career, I meet women when they are pregnant and would like feel ready as they can and know they have the help all arranged.
Or, I meet women when the baby is here and they reach out for support as a reaction to feeling overwhelmed and generally not a happy camper.
What one would you like to be?
Firstly though, let me introduce myself...
My name is April and I am mum of two beautiful boys.
I've been a Doula getting on for a decade. I started out working in the homes of new mums when baby was here. I was then meeting mums when they were pregnant and got an even greater view of the journey from bump to baby.
When I am not doula'ing, I am thinking, and sometimes going, to the gym, listening to music and planning our next holiday!
Looking for support during pregnancy and those early weeks?
I’m a Postnatal Specialist and who shines a light on postnatal life before getting there, and then supports you when baby arrives.
Becoming Mum
Becoming Mum for the first time is everything. Obviously life-changing.
Every single woman I have ever spoken to shares with me that it's a mix of emotions; happy yet nervous, excited yet daunting. Throw in a little bit of overwhelm and not sure what to really expect and your head begins to spin.
This online PREPARE + SUPPORT package is solely for First Time mums (and Dads are welcome to join too).

As a first-time mum I was a little shell shocked about my birth experience and I struggled with my newborn during the early weeks, April provided a good listening ear and she gave me suggestions and advice on several things.
