Mindful Mum was born (excuse the pun) in 2014 and here’s the story behind it!

With a natural affinity for babies, I qualified as a Nanny in 1999, after being advised I wouldn’t be accepted to study Midwifery in NZ directly from high school, as I was too young.

I moved to London in 2001 and then qualified as a Maternity Practitioner from the Maternity and Nanny Training College at Reading University a few years later. I spent many years helping exhausted parents adjust as a family and get a good night’s sleep.

As a Maternity Practitioner, I worked with a wide range of families including overnight work with newborns, twins, triplets, baby’s with reflux and other medical issues, premature babies, women with postnatal depression and also mothers returning to work.
