Optimising Motherhood
Hi there! I'm Amy. I'm a Northerner, a mother to two boys and I live on the Surrey/ Sussex border. I am a Postnatal Doula, offering support to mums in this area. As part of my services, I offer postnatal massage and will be offering antenatal massage from 2025. I also hold a qualification in BSL Level 3 and I support Deaf families through the ante/postnatal period.
We've all heard the saying "Happy mum, happy baby", right? Well, it couldn't be more accurate! In this modern world of 'doing it all and having it all', with most of us not having the comfort and support of a 'village', the pressure for new mums is a lot.
The postnatal period (in particular the 4th trimester), should be about giving yourself time, space & grace. You and your baby are learning a new and wonderful way of life! By allowing yourself a true recovery after birth, you are setting yourself up for motherhood and optimising your chances of truly enjoying it, which is priceless. Happy mum, happy baby after all...
Planning for how you may feel or what support you may need can be invaluable in feeling comfortable, confident and empowered in the postnatal period; that's where I come in.
My aim is to optimise your experience of the postnatal period. As a new mum (and a new family), life will look a little different. This can be joyous, exhilarating, scary, exciting and so much more! However you feel, I am here to help you navigate it all.
Whether you need informational, practical or emotional support, I provide a non-judgemental, warm, encouraging & evidence- based service (with lots of laughter and hot drinks!).
