With Janine
As a practitioner, I have worked with expectant and new parents for over 20 years.
My experience means I listen, inform, support and reassure. I am honest, open and passionate about working with you as an individual so you can focus on what matters to you.
Developing this space for expectant and new parents is really important to me so I can provide good information, a place for questions and discussion, consistency, an experienced perspective and greater awareness of the challenges.
My role is not to tell you what to do, it is to give you knowledge and confidence so you can prepare, plan, make decisions, know your options and manage the challenges.
