Hello!

If you’ve landed on this page, welcome to the club and congratulations on your pregnancy!!

If you‘re looking for a modern, evidenced-based birth preparation course led by experienced health professionals then you’ve come to the right place! We also place a big emphasis on building a support network aka making some great mummy friends to take on your journey with you!

I am a Registered Midwife, Antenatal and Hypnobirthing Teacher and Lecturer in Midwifery. My passion is helping parents-to-be to prepare as they transition into parenthood

I qualified as a midwife after having my daughter and son and worked as an Independent Midwife for many years. I supported women to have the births of their choice and provided childbirth education to help women prepare for birth and parenthood. I now balance working as a lecturer at Bournemouth University with providing childbirth preparation classes.

My goal with Better Start Baby Club is to connect parents-to-be and give you the best possible start because we believe you and your little ones deserve the very best care.

I deliver the most up-to-date evidenced-based information. So no more Google and trying to choose from 600 answers!

I have seen the benefit to families when women have positive, calm births, because they were knowledgeable and empowered.

Thank you so much for choosing Better Start Baby Club, we are truly honoured to be part of your journey.
