I understand the intricacies of the postnatal period for your whole family, and offer a comprehensive array of services tailored to meet you where you are. My intuitive approach ensures that my support is uniquely crafted to resonate with the individual requirements of any parents, babies, older siblings, and even your family pets.
Normally, I would meet with you several times before baby arrives so that I'm able to be in providing support as soon as baby arrives. Depending on what we decide, generally I would come help you around 3 days a week. There is no limit to how long I can give the support you need; for some of my families, I stay with them even beyond the first year of baby's life.
Dedicated care for newborns, allowing parents to recharge and rest, knowing your little one is in nurturing hands.
Recognizing the importance of maintaining a balanced family dynamic, I extends my care to your older children as well.
Making your life easier by assisting with daily errands and light household chores, providing a sense of relief during this transitional period.
I have a deep understanding of the challenges surrounding sleep and feeding your baby, and offer compassionate guidance and practical support.
Each family is unique, and my approach to postnatal care reflects this individuality. I always intuitively tailor my services, adapting to the specific needs, preferences, and circumstances of each of my families. My innate ability to understand and anticipate your needs ensures that your family receives support that aligns with your dynamics and requirements, fostering a sense of comfort and trust during this transformative phase.
You can now purchase postnatal sessions with me here. These are available in 3hr session blocks, and you can purchase as many as you like.
'We were so fortunate to have Fiona with us from months one to four of our baby’s life and would loved to have worked with her longer had we not moved away from Edinburgh. It is truly a gift to find someone who just knows what to do without being asked - whether rocking the baby, bringing Emily tea while breastfeeding, cleaning the bathroom, or cooking up the most amazing (vegan!) meals. We especially appreciated Fiona’s knowledge of homeopathic healing as well. Her combination of wisdom and calming demeanor is exactly what every new parent deserves to have access to. We are so grateful our lives led us to Fiona and couldn’t recommend her more highly.'

'Fiona was recommended to me by several friends and I could not be more grateful I followed their advice. Mostly though I will be forever grateful to Fiona and the immense support she provided after the birth of my first child. Fiona worked with us from 6 weeks post partum and provided emotional and mental support during that wild time. She is so incredibly experienced and knowledgable; she often knew what I needed before I did. Fiona quite literally turned her hand to anything and everything - sling tutorials, massage techniques to help gassy babies, stocking the freezer with delicious food, organising and keeping things tidy round the house, chasing and catching birds and setting them loose out the window (yes, this actually happened!!). She also offered a shoulder to cry on when it was needed and developed a wonderful connection with my son which was a joy to see. I once heard Fiona be described as “an angel, our fairy godmother”, and I think that’s perfect.'

'Fiona took care of my little boy from newborn to 10 months. I'm a solo parent and had never left him with anyone else but Fiona's warm and comforting presence assured me. My boy was always extremely happy with Fiona and I was delighted to come home to a nutritious meal. Fiona made us both feel cared for, which was incredible in the early stages of motherhood.'
Jacqueline & Ivan
'There really are no words to describe the incredible support Fiona gave to us after my son was born. Her energy is like pure sunshine and always comes with an air of calm. I will never forget the foggy newborn days, waking up to a knock on the bedroom door being brought a hot cup of tea and some porridge after a particularly rough night. Known as Fiona Poppins in our house, she would turn up and calm would magically be restored. Her help slowed me down and allowed me to really just be in the moment with my son, without worrying about all the to do lists in my head. I can not recommend Fiona highly enough and the support she offers for new families. Get it for yourself, gift it to a friend and I guarantee the time you spend together will be woven fondly into your early memories forever.'

They say it takes a village, and with good reason. The birth of a new child is an incredibly magical time, and can also be a challenging transition. Having the support you need around you whilst you make the transition into new parenthood and subsequently growing your family, can be daunting to face alone. I thrive in supporting my families and often stay with them for months or years at a time. If you're missing the support of having the village you need around you during your transition, please do contact me so we can discuss how your ideal support from me might look and feel.
