BOOK A CALL WITH TRICIA

Hi, I’m Tricia. I’ve lived in Hertfordshire for 17 years, having grown up in the USA. I’m a mum to three sons, and live with them, my husband, three dogs and a cat.

My career in parent support began when I trained with the NCT to be a breastfeeding counsellor, qualifying in 2013. Before I qualified I volunteered as a peer supporter and continue to volunteer at a weekly drop in near to my home.

I find working with new families fun and rewarding, and so have trained to expand my range of services to include baby massage, introducing family foods support, Birth and Postnatal Doula packages, and sleep coaching for babies and children.

I’m always happy to talk about how I can best support you and your family.

Feel free to book a 15 minute call with me to discuss how I can best work with you and your family.

Testimonials

Thank you so much for all your help with the boys (and me!), you’ve really gone above and beyond to get me back on my feet and our family happy and settled. I’m so grateful for the breastfeeding support.

‘I first met Tricia as part of our NCT antenatal course. We attended a breastfeeding session which she facilitated. It was really informative and we felt much more prepared for the journey ahead. In the early days I struggled with feeding my daughter and not drowning her with my milk! I got in touch with Tricia and she was extremely helpful (visiting us at home and speaking on the phone) giving me suggestions as to how to improve feeding with Ayla. It made a huge difference and I’m still enjoying breastfeeding my daughter who is now 11 months old. I feel very lucky to have had such a positive breastfeeding experience. ‘Not having family or friends live nearby I found it tough having little support. When my daughter was around 3.5 months old I was lucky enough to have Tricia come to help me again as she was completing her course to become a postnatal doula. Tricia is kind, warm, empathic and is a natural with babies. I felt confident entrusting her to help look after my daughter and she was also wonderful looking after me. She helped with some household chores and made me delicious food. I can’t recommend Tricia enough and am so grateful we met her at the beginning of our parenting journey.’

Hi Tricia, Thank you for your time yesterday. This difference has been night and day... He is more alert and happier today and was not even remotely grumbly last night... We cannot thank you enough for the help over the last few days.
