My Story

Hiya!

I’m Jacqueline: a mum and a grandmother to two adorable small people. I’m also a clinical hypno-psychotherapist, a complementary therapist and journalist. I have trained in hypnobirthing, aromatherapy, baby massage, baby yoga and toddler yoga (up to four years old), hypnosis for fertility and postnatal support. I am an accredited Birthing Awareness 3 Step Rewind practitioner and can help parents and birth partners to heal from pregnancy and/or birth trauma.

As a qualified adult education teacher, I have taught complementary therapy to qualification level in adult education centres in east London and Essex. I’m a member of the National Society of Talking Therapies, and the International Association of Infant Massage. I hold a current DBS certificate.

I am fascinated with everything to do with birth and parenting. I worked with my daughter and her husband during both of their pregnancies, teaching them hypnobirthing antenatal education. I was present at the home births of both babies. I taught baby massage and baby/toddler yoga to mum, dad and small person 1 and I’m doing it all over again with small person 2 because I know that these are hugely beneficial activities for parents and babies/toddlers.

Parenting is the hardest job in the world - and I understand that parents need support at different times in their lives and that’s what I’m here for.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing these techniques with you to help you on your journey as parents. Bump, birth, baby and beyond! What an awesome privilege it is to work in this field and to share a little bit of your parenting journey.
