Meet April, the heart &
soul behind
how to birth a baby.
Hi, I’m April
Hello! I’m April, and I’m here to guide you through one of the most transformative experiences of your life and becoming a parent.
With over a decade of experience in the maternity world, my journey began as a maternity nursery nurse on postnatal wards and neonatal units, where I provided hands on support to new families.
From there, my passion for birth and early parenting grew, leading me to become a doula and antenatal teacher.
I’ve stood by families during some of the most intense and beautiful moments of their lives, and I’ve experienced the highs and lows of motherhood myself. My journey includes navigating abortion, miscarriage, two caesareans, and a successful vaginal birth after two caesareans. These experiences have shaped my understanding of the diverse paths birth can take, and my mission is to provide you with the honest, real and supportive guidance you need to navigate your journey with confidence.
how to birth a baby antenatal course
How to Birth a Baby was born out of my decade of experience and a desire to offer something unique, personal, and genuinely helpful in today’s modern maternity system.
I understand that the journey to parenthood can feel overwhelming, especially within a system that sometimes feels impersonal or confusing. That's why I've designed this course to be a supportive and empowering space where you can gain the honest, real education and confidence you need to make informed choices and feel truly prepared for birth.
In 2019, after receiving a neurodivergent diagnosis, I took a step back to focus on understanding myself and my newfound experiences with Autism and ADHD. This time away, combined with the challenges of a global pandemic, gave me the opportunity to reflect and return to my calling with a renewed sense of purpose. I updated my training with the Perinatal Academy and became a FEDANT qualified antenatal teacher to ensure I am providing the safest, most effective support possible.
Out in the wild
Outside of my work, I cherish life's simple pleasure.
Getting lost in the magic of video games, wandering through nature, or unwinding with a good podcast, a warm cup of tea, and yes; cake is non-negotiable. I'm a bit of an introvert but I light up when it comes to heartfelt conversations about life’s unanswered questions.
Make sure you check out the course, How to Birth a Baby. Together, we'll explore everything from all your options for birth, in a space that is safe, inclusive and genuinely supportive. Early parenting modules will be coming early next year, but for now, let's focus on making your birth experience empowering and uniquely yours.
This is more than just a course; it's a community. I can't wait to support you every step of the way. Let’s get started on this incredible journey together, with honesty, real talk, and unwavering support!
