What I offer
About me
I am mother of two and my experience of entering motherhood with my first baby sparked my passion for everything birth and babies. I choose to retrain to become a certified perinatal educator. This enables me to support parents to be as all the way through to 2 years old. I did my training under the Daisy Foundation and previously taught as The Daisy Foundation Coventry but have now become an independent teacher under my own brand Blooming Ivy.
So why Blooming Ivy?
Blooming is in reference to your beautiful growing family and Ivy meaning interweaving is also a symbol of love friendship and longevity as the plant Ivy forms long lasting connections.
I feel this is the ideal name to represent the care and support I offer to mums and families
