Welcome to Emma’s Antenatal

Hi, I’m Emma, and I’m so pleased to welcome you here. Becoming a parent is an incredible journey, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. With so much information and advice from all directions, it’s easy to feel unsure of where to begin. That’s where I come in.

I’m passionate about helping parents-to-be prepare for birth and parenthood in a way that feels calm, empowering, and right for their family. My approach is warm, supportive, and rooted in evidence-based and traditional techniques to give you the confidence and clarity you need during this special time.

My Journey to Parenthood

Becoming a parent changed my life in profound ways. During my first pregnancy, I made the decision to have an independent midwife. It was a choice I’ll always cherish because of the personalised care, continuity, and deep level of support I received throughout my pregnancy and birth. Having someone by my side who truly knew me and understood my needs was incredibly empowering, and it gave me the confidence to approach birth with a sense of calm and trust in my body.

That experience inspired me to support other parents in feeling the same level of empowerment and care. I’ve dedicated years to training and gaining experience across a wide range of areas to offer comprehensive support for families.

About Emma

With years of experience and a passion for supporting families, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my work as a childbirth educator, antenatal teacher, and doula. My training includes:

  • Childbirth Education: University qualified antenatal teacher, specialising in evidence-based preparation for birth and early parenthood.

  • Hypnobirthing and Relaxation Techniques: Helping parents feel calm and confident during labour through breathing, visualisation, and relaxation.

  • Birth Biomechanics: Using movement, balance, and body alignment techniques to support optimal fetal positioning and smoother labour progression.

  • Postnatal Healing and Recovery: Supporting mothers with tools to aid physical and emotional recovery after birth.

  • Baby-wearing Consultant: I ran a sling library for eight years, helping parents learn the benefits of baby-wearing and how to carry their baby safely and comfortably.

  • Doula Services: As a trained birth doula, I provide emotional and practical support during labour and birth.

  • Other Specialised Training: Including infant feeding support, massage for labour, and acupressure techniques.

My goal is to provide parents with practical tools, emotional reassurance, and a safe space to explore their unique journey into parenthood.

My Philosophy

I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to pregnancy and birth. Every family is different, and every parent’s journey is unique. That’s why I focus on creating a tailored experience that:

  • Helps you feel confident in your body and instincts.

  • Provides practical tools and strategies for birth and beyond.

  • Supports emotional wellbeing during this transformative time.

It’s important to me that you leave every session feeling heard, supported, and ready for what’s to come.

In My Spare Time

When I’m not teaching, you’ll usually find me outdoors with my family, whether it’s walking in the woods, camping under the stars, or enjoying a quiet moment by the water. I also love curling up with a good book, baking something delicious, or getting creative with a new project. These moments recharge me and keep me grounded, so I can bring the best of myself to my classes and workshops.
