I'm always happy reply to questions and am interested in the process of change that happens internally as you learn about options and the power of your mind, rather than just giving people a set of techniques. This helps with resilience and flexibility which is especially important when it comes to individual experiences of pregnancy, birth, motherhood and peri-menopause.

From fertility through to post-menopause, using tools such as mindfulness, hypnosis, visualisation and lots of reframing can change experiences! Everything I write aims to inspire women to be able to see opportunities to change their perspective in pivot
