personal

I am an only child and come from a family where I witnessed the mental load of fertility issues, miscarriages and stillbirths.

​

I come from a culture who puts medical professionals on a pedestal and would not think of challenging them (even if we felt they were wrong).

​

Medicalised horror birth stories is what I was exposed to and it wasn't until I found hypnobirthing that I was able to change my mindset and go on to help others to learn how to be in control of their births and achieve a positive, calm birth.

I always knew I wanted to be a Mumma!

I had so much love to give and knew that I was made to mother. What I didn't expect was everything else that came with it:

​

Fear

Loneliness

Guilt

​

The morning sickness, the anxiety and the lack of community felt really isolating. Lots of judgements and unsolicited advise but no compassion or love. I didn't wish this on anyone, so, I build my own Mystri Community. A safe space for everyone.

professional

I have over 14 years experience as a Early Years professional, 10 of which have been Perinatal Mental Health specific.

​

My knowledge and experience highlighted the lack of support for couples in birth education and postnatal care, COVID19 making this even more sparse. I noticed how having a baby can impact one physically, emotionally and mentally. 

​

I am 100% invested in you when you attend my classes. I hold, support and nurture you until you feel ready and confident to carry on in your journey.
