Prepare for birth and beyond with calm, confidence and community
Judgement-free antenatal education and perinatal anxiety and trauma support - West Lothian & Online
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Or, if you're already in the thick of parenthood,
welcome – you’re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Joy, a university-qualified antenatal educator and perinatal therapist with 20 years’ experience supporting new and expectant parents across Central Scotland and beyond. I offer down-to-earth guidance and emotional support to help you prepare for birth, navigate early parenthood, and work through any anxiety, fear or trauma that might come up along the way.
Whether you're feeling excited, overwhelmed or unsure, my courses and 1:1 sessions create a safe space to ask questions, explore your options, and feel heard.
There’s no “right” way to give birth or parent, just the right way for you, and that’s what I’m here
