About Me
Hello I’m Imogen and, in short, I am deeply passionate about family life.
I truly believe that you already have all you need within you in order to be the parent that you want to be. My role is simply to help reveal that by empowering and encouraging you during what is the beautiful and hugely vulnerable experience of having a baby.
I long to see new parents feeling supported at the start of their parenting journey; that they might have confidence from ‘day one’ so that they feel equipped to make choices that feel right for them and their families. By building firm foundations from the very beginning, new parents are less likely to feel that they’ve stumbled through the first few months in an overwhelmed haze only to find that they’re utterly exhausted and at the end of themselves later down the line.
Time and again I have seen families experience such a deep joy during the newborn period when they have been appropriately supported through the ups and downs - the changes and challenges - that come with having a new baby. The right support can be genuinely life changing.
I speak from personal experience because my own mother changed, and continues to change, my life. Her support of me and my family is ultimately what has fuelled the desire in me for all families to have the sort of support that she has shown us. Having somebody with you in those early weeks, showing you unending patience, gentleness, empathy and compassion enables you to thrive rather than simple ‘survive’.
I would be delighted to speak with you about how I can best support you and your family. You can call me to book in a time to discuss further.
