Not necessarily. But if it’s taken a lot to get here, it’s very normal to want to keep doing what you can, and to have someone to ask when the advice feels confusing or contradictory.

Pregnancy can bring a whole new set of worries, especially after a long time trying. There’s nothing wrong with feeling anxious rather than purely excited.

Most people I work with in pregnancy have worked with me before, so we’re picking up where we left off. Rather than a fixed package, you book sessions as and when they’d be useful. Often that’s one or two in mid pregnancy, one before birth and one after your baby arrives, but it’s up to you. If you haven’t worked with me before, we start with an initial consultation, so I can get to know you and your history before we plan anything. Together we look at what you’re eating, the supplements you’re taking and how you’re living day to day, and adjust as your needs change. If worry builds, I may also share simple ways to tune in to your body and settle yourself, using tools from my somatic and coaching training.

I work alongside your midwife and medical team, not instead of them. Anything medical goes to them first.

Whatever you decide, eat well when you can, rest when you can, and be kind to yourself. Good enough is good enough.
