My name is April...

I am a mum to two beautiful boys

I’m also a Postnatal Specialist who shines a light on postnatal life before getting there, and then supports you when baby arrives.

I've been a Doula for a decade. I decided back then to focus on the postnatal bit. Why? Because we are given more instructions with a car than we are a baby!

I remember getting my first born home and thinking 'what the hell do I do know'.

Birth is life changing and needs love & energy. I believe though we are always postnatal and we should give ourselves the best start we can at a time when emotions are raw & heightened.
