Coaching
Helping midwives, health visitors, doulas, IBCLCs, antenatal educators and other birthworkers feel confident and powerful in their personal and professional lives.
I have a vision of maternity services that are respectful, kind and supportive - both for the women, birthing people and families using them and the staff working in them.
I know that many others share that vision and long to give person-centred care that recognises their professional expertise as well as the autonomy and knowledge of the people they serve. Care that is collaborative and recognises that birthwork is a vocation that's based on relationships.
​
If you're struggling with balancing work and family life, or feel overwhelmed and frustrated then coaching might be just what you need.
​
Take a look at my workshops, consider the PowerType / Power Hour offer, or book a curiosity call to see if we're a good fit.

Rewind for professionals
Being present at a difficult birth can affect health care professionals in different ways. Sometimes the distressing feelings are difficult to shift and can lead to time off work or an ongoing anxiety about supporting and caring for people in labour.
​
The Three Step Rewind method is a gentle but effective way of releasing unhelpful feelings and behaviours that may be causing distress. As a midwife myself I understand how important it is for birthworkers to deal effectively with the after effects of difficult situations in order to provide calm, confident care to others. I also understand the importance of confidentiality and the Rewind technique can be used without any sensitive information being disclosed.
​
Suitable for doctors, midwives, maternity care assistants, paramedics, doulas or anybody working within maternity / birth services.
​
Two sessions, via Zoom on in my Caerphilly Office, with relaxation audios between and follow up by telephone or Zoom, are usually enough to make a significant difference to everyday life and leave people facing the future with renewed confidence and calm.
​
Consultations can also take place in your own home if local to me - additional fees will apply, please ask.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
