Maternity Nursing
I offer Post Birth Doula support as well as Maternity Nursing if you would like some hands-on practical help in the period after birth. With help in establishing breast or bottle feeding and a speedy holistic recovery.
Having supported couples during pregnancy with Natal
Hypnotherapy and in many cases through labour as their Birth Doula as well, it felt natural to progress to maternity nursing in order to continue their care.
I undertook my Maternity Nursing training with MNT, including modules in Post Natal Depression and Breast Feeding.
I have also recently learnt the ancient tradition, of the "Closing the Bones" Ceremony and newly adapted Post Natal Abdominal Massage.
"Closing of the Bones" is a postpartum healing ceremony, which was created to nurture the mother after her passage through giving birth, and journeying into motherhood. It's a celebration, set in a sacred space and a way to nurture her both emotionally and physically. It can be performed soon after birth. Traditionally only hours, though I would allow a couple of days.
My focus is on supporting Mothers during this post natal period, helping them with their recovery after labour; introducing homeopathy and aromatherapy if they would like; encouraging them to enjoy skin to skin with their baby and assisting with breast-feeding and establishing individual routines.
By discussing with couples how they envision their roles as parents, it helps with the smooth running of the home and everyone feels supported; both immediately and in the longer term.
My aim is to ensure parents’ feel confident in caring for their new baby as well as rested and recovered after the labour.
I provide hypnotherapy for ‘Faster Post Natal Recovery’ or for ‘Post Birth Trauma’ should anyone request and on-going part time care if parents would like.
Due to the ‘round the clock’ nature of the post birth period, I believe emotional and mental support as well as physical can help ensure this time is enjoyable. Staying ‘one step ahead’ can make all the difference, making life with a young family manageable and fun.
Testimonials
Georgie was a reassuring and joyful presence in the first fortnight of motherhood, from being in hospital with us within hours of delivery and providing advocacy ahead of our discharge through to sign off from midwife care on regaining birth weight and passing all post-birth baby and mother checks. Her strengths are combining traditional with holistic approaches, such as aromatherapy, and caring for the well-being of mother as well as baby, with nutritious meals and snacks and firm advice on self-care alongside guidance on breastfeeding and practical skills for looking after the baby. She retained a sense of joy and fun throughout, enabling us to enjoy the experience and lifting spirits within the supportive and caring environment she created. I would highly recommend Georgie as a maternity nurse.

We were blessed to have Georgie with us for the birth and maternity help in the following months.
Thanks to Georgie my last few months of pregnancy were calm and full of excitement instead of worry. It was my third baby, I had had a tricky pregnancy and was especially tired. The natal hypnotherapy gave me space to think about the birth in a free and relaxed way and gave me time to rest everyday. I learned valuable ways of taking myself away from noise and discomfort to visualise the journey through labour and the birth of my baby. I was able to use these techniques during the labour which allowed me to actually enjoy the experience and welcome the birth. I felt empowered by how my body and mind coped. Georgie's presence in the hospital was reassuring for my husband and I and she was absolutly invaluable during the labour and post birth period in hospital. I feel huge gratitude to Georgie and believe, in some part, that we owe the sweet and calm nature of our baby to her. Her nutritional knowledge and experience with small children meant that the first few months at home with all the children together were much easier than expected. Georgie has become a much loved and cherished part of our family.

"Georgie saved my life!!! Three months after giving birth and with my family living abroad, Georgie came out of the goodness of her heart and spent time with me at my home. I instantly trusted her with my little boy, who seemed to feel very safe and secure with her and Georgie helped me organise some comprehensive routines so that our family could become more functional with a newborn. Part of this disorganisation came from my own unresolved physical, psychological and emotional issues stemming from a difficult childbirth and the shock of early motherhood, and Georgie insisted that we must prioritise my health in order to get things back on track. Her healthy eating tips, expertise with homeopathy and relatable insight into my overall self-care as an independent woman, as a wife and as a mother was exactly what I needed to feel empowered and beautiful again. Feeling more like my old self, I now feel like I have so much more to offer my family, and I have had some healing advice to keep me rooted to a mindful path." - Jordan, Cirencester |
