I have been treating newborns and mums for the past 20 years and have found that most of the advice parents are being given is outdated and incorrect and I see the consequences of this first hand. I have seen every kind of issue ranging from colic to birth trauma and reflux and have always found there is an underlying reason to help calm a baby's discomfort. Through my book, my videos, my blogs and my treatments I am able to share my knowledge and help you and your baby back to health
Read MoreMission 1 - Healthy, happy babies
Have you been told “all babies cry” when you have an excessively upset, crying, colicky and not sleeping baby? Have you been told to “wait 12 weeks and they will stop” or “there is no cure for colic”? If so, I can help. There are many reasons that your baby is excessively crying and in pain but there ARE easy solutions. My book, Calming Colic, my videos, and my blogs are all about helping you and your baby.
Mission 2 - Healthy, happy mums
I see mums that are tired, anxious, depressed, in pain, have bowel issues, weight problems and their hormones are all over the place. And they all say the same thing; “It all started after I had my children!” Why is this? It’s because mums aren’t advised to look after themselves the correct way and the focus is usually just about their new baby. But who’s going to look after the baby if the mum isn’t feeling her best? For example, mums are frequently told to eat more calories from junk food to keep their energy up. This is SO wrong! They are told that what they eat doesn’t pass to their baby. Again, wrong! You are told that you can’t improve your breast milk by eating better and that what you eat doesn’t affect the behaviour of the baby. Guess what? Wrong again! Find out how to improve your own health and your baby’s, whilst all the time with the understanding you are a busy mum!
What I Do
Your baby's birth...
Crying, upset, colicky baby? What happened at your deliver has a very clear, understandable impact on why your baby is upset. Any trauma from instruments (venture, forceps), a long stressful delivery, a very fast delivery, C-section all these impact your baby. But what you AREN'T told is that they can all be helped so you can have a happy, calm baby!
Is your baby windy?
A baby can be excessively upset due to a traumatic birth and also excessive wind. There are a number of major factors that create poor digestion in a baby and therefore trapped wind, screaming and colic. C-sections and antibiotics are MAJOR causes. Research shows these can impact your baby's gut health for years! But again, no one tells you there is help for your baby right now and even ways to improve their health into the future.
Breast feeding help
Breastfeeding is one of the most emotional topics there is when it comes to new babies and mothers. I firmly believe there is so much more help to be given to mums with breastfeeding issues. Firstly, my experience shows that a tricky delivery makes a new baby struggle with feeding, so it's the baby that needs help, not the mother! I also 100% believe the mothers diet will help a baby be more satisfied with their feed and happier. Yet again, things that mothers just are told about. Read our breastfeeding Blog by 4 experts...
