Welcome to the Great Beginnings Website!

Here you will find information on the various Childbirth Education (Birth Matters) Workshops, Doula Services and Parenting Courses that I offer here in Bermuda to give your family a great beginning. I am passionate about helping all women and their partners achieve a positive birth experience and feel confident about being parents.  My aim in all I do, is to offer support, practical skills and up-to-date information to help you make informed choices for you and your baby and have an empowered birth experience however it unfolds.

There is no one right way to give birth and it is important that you have the resources  to make the best choices for you.  As I am privileged to have attended many births at the hospital, I have firsthand knowledge and experience of the options that are available there. Also available on the website are Parenting and Birth articles that I have written for the Royal Gazette and I have gathered information about other related websites, that I think are particularly good, that might be useful to you in your birth and parenting journey.

Lastly, you will find information here about the work I support in Sierra Leone, where the maternal mortality rate is one of the highest in the world.  I love the idea that women giving birth in Bermuda, who go through Birth Matters can have a direct impact on families in Sierra Leone. I welcome all your ideas and comments. Enjoy!
