Vanessa is such a warm, knowledgeable, funny and compassionate person and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She has a wealth of experience to share with you and yet also helps you trust your gut, builds your confidence and supports you to make the decisions which are right for you. I felt so much more relaxed about my labour after meeting with Vanessa for my preparation sessions beforehand and was so reassured to have her in my team for my daughter’s birth. Her visits in the first few weeks were invaluable - helping give tips for practical tasks like bathing baby, teaching baby massage techniques for colicky tummies, comfortable breastfeeding positions for me and just being a shoulder to lean on. My daughter adores her and she has a magical calm and fun presence that babies just love! We have also been along to Vanessa’s baby massage classes and I would highly recommend these too. She created a warm welcoming atmosphere that was as calming and nurturing of the parents as it was of the babies. It was a lovely way to bond with your baby, meet new parents and get support and suggestions. Vanessa is a gem to work with and I hope other new parents and babies get the chance to benefit from her support as much as I did (and still do - we’ve made her part of the family!!).

I took baby massage classes with Vanessa and can't say enough good things about her. She has a lovely, warm, motherly energy, and brings her years of experience both as a midwife and a doula to her classes. She exudes calm - babies love her! - and understands new mother stress. Her classes were a judgement-free, supportive space, full of practical tips and good company.
