About The Mama Spring
Mother of 3, wife of 1 and I am hugely passionate about supporting you…
through pregnancy and into parenthood. Whether that is giving you the tools that you need to head towards your birth feeling empowered and in control, or supporting you postnatally, helping you to feel confident in your ability as a parent and giving you lots of tips and tricks to make this journey run more smoothly.
My evidence based hypnobirthing course is the only antenatal course that you will need! I will not only give you the knowledge to trust your body, I will also give you some relaxation techniques that will enable you to feel calm during labour, birth and beyond.
I’ve been where you are now, when I was pregnant with my first baby, I was so nervous about giving birth – hypnobirthing absolutely changed my life and is the sole reason I have had 3 very different but equally as magical birth experiences.
My Training & Experience
Primary Education
I’ve spent 14 years working as a qualified teacher, teaching mainly nursery and reception classes.
Baby Massage & Yoga Instructor
This taught me the tricks of the trade, giving me the knowledge I needed to create the most magical environment for parents and their new babies.
Infant Developmental Play Gym Practitioner
Bringing another layer into my classes, by understanding how the brain develops and how we can use play to support all babies development.
Developmental Music Practitioner
Bringing the benefits of music into all areas of my business – both for you and your baby – from pregnancy, into the fourth trimester and beyond.
Adapting Baby Massage and baby yoga
I can adapt my classes to support babies and their families with varying physical, medical and neurological needs.
Hypnobirthing Teacher
Learning about the medical side of birth and the theory behind how hypnobirthing works was mind-blowing and has ignited a HUGE passion in me!
Then when my baby came along, I suffered with postnatal anxiety, breastfeeding issues, I missed the predictability and control that I was used to in my career and I felt like a failure. Going to baby groups in Grimsby, meeting the teachers and other parents and realising that actually, I hadn’t lost myself, what I was feeling was ok and there was a way out, made such a difference.
I’ve put myself right back to when I had my first baby and asked myself, “What did I need?”.
And the answer – I needed a community and support, I needed someone who I could ask those random questions that felt silly, without the fear of being laughed at, I needed someone who wasn’t in my small circle of friends, someone who I could be raw and emotional with and not feel like I had to put a mask on, I needed someone who was there through pregnancy as well as in those early days when I felt completely lost, someone to help with bonding, breastfeeding and settling my baby. I needed someone to tell me about my baby’s mini milestones…
I didn’t want her to roll, I wanted to know what the steps were towards rolling so I could see that she was making progress and I was supporting her.
All of this… this is what I have created at ‘The Mama Spring’ – I am your person, I am here through it all.
Why I created The Mama Spring
To Teach
Once a teacher, always a teacher! As much as I loved teaching children, teaching parents is just something else! Watching you grow in confidence with your babies in classes is so unbelievably rewarding.
To Support
My friends will often say that I’m the most loyal and supportive person they know, and this now spills into my business. Being that person who you can turn to is such an honour and a privilege.
To Empower
Giving you the tools and techniques that you need to walk out of any of my sessions with confidence and drive. Whether that is for the birth that is right for you or to help your baby’s development.
Making memories…
Whilst I’m mostly found helping you to make memories, I’ve made a fair few of my own too!
