Train with me
Do you have an interest in working with expectant people and/or new parents?
Train with me to deliver antenatal and/or postnatal courses and workshops.



Following the phenomenal success of my Starting Solids Facilitator training, I am sharing more of my workshops and courses with you, so you can deliver them and more parents can benefit. Oh, and you will benefit too, from increased income, and confidence and enjoyment doing what you love!
Increase your knowledge, keep up to date, and build your confidence.
Meet the needs of your clients from pregnancy through the first year, meeting their key concerns.
If you have a bump or baby business, or work with families as a professional or volunteer, these trainings are for you.
Or maybe you'd like to set up your own business providing classes for parents. Several of my trainees have done just that.
Keeping it simple: what they need to know, and what they don't have to worry about, and why.
Keeping it real: expectations, individual situations.
Keeping it relaxed: non-judgemental, relaxed sessions.
Facilitator (noun)
Definition: a person or thing that makes an action or process easy or easier.





NEW for 2023
NEW for 2023!
Baby Sleep Facilitator training
Train to deliver Baby Sleep Workshops that set expectations, bust myths, promote responsiveness and brain development, and support parents to work out strategies to help them cope.
Prevailing Western culture puts babies and parents in conflict, based on Victorian ideals, and not on science. Train to help parents to trust their instinct and follow their baby.
This is not a sleep solutions workshop, but focused on expectations, infant brain development, attachment, biological norms, and individual differences (parent and baby).
There is so much unhelpful rubbish told to parents. They deserve evidence based, practical, and realistic information.

this is me

I have over twenty years of experience of facilitating courses, workshops, drop in groups for parents and parents-to-be. From parenting programmes, baby massage courses, antenatal workshops/classes to baby and toddler groups and wellbeing events. (See the 'about me' page to read more.)
I managed a Sure Start children's centre for 8 years. While there I co-wrote a postnatal course, Baby Days, and trained local authority staff to deliver it. (It's still going.)
When I left and went independent with Chilled Mama, in 2015, I developed my own workshops and courses, based on my training and experience.
I am now sharing these with you.
