A little about me…

I moved to Royston from Nottinghamshire quite recently so I’m just getting to know my way around the area. Me and my youngest three moved in with Clare and her boys when we got married and began the chaos that is life as a beautifully blended family.

In my day job I drive a delivery van, I really enjoy chatting to the customers and watching the scenery pass by. I love turning the radio up and singing along as I travel the rural roads of North Hertfordshire delivering peoples shopping.

When I’m not working, I can normally be found with a crochet hook, a ball of yarn in my hand , listening to an audio book or with my nose in a physics textbook. I have a passion for science and maths and love to share this with others whenever they’ll let me!

My training and experience…

This year marks my twenty-first year as a parent and it’s been quite the journey so far! You can’t tell me anything about yourself, your parenting or your children that I haven’t heard before. (or experienced myself)

Being introduced to slings when my 4th child was tiny revolutionised my parenting. I had my hands full with three children already and hands free hugs made life with a newborn so much more manageable.

I wanted to share this joy with others and trained with School of Babywearing as a peer supporter in 2015 and then as a consultant in 2016 when I was pregnant with baby number five. In 2018 I started my CalmFamily training and now have an even wider set of skills and knowledge to share with families.

What I can offer you…

I specialised in parenting support sessions, working with families and enabling parents to find practical, workable solutions to making family life, just that little bit calmer. I don’t have quick fix solutions or a magic wand, but I will take the time to really listen and help you to understand what’s going on for your child and understand the science behind it.

I offer bespoke sessions in preparing for parenthood, sleep, weaning and eating, understanding toddlers, play, dealing with difficult behaviours, effective co-parenting and just about anything else, just get in touch tell me what you need.

I also offer carrying consultations and everything can be done at my home, yours or online, whatever works for you.
