Welcome to the home of Preparenting™

As a childcare and family support professional, I’ve helped numerous parents overcome the challenges associated with raising young children. Specialising in new families, from pre-pregnancy to children up to two years old, my approach is based on encouraging parents to develop confidence in their intuition and in their parenting skills.

I've just completed a tour of the US, speaking at the inaugural BabyTime Expos in Seattle, Phoenix and Las Vegas.  My subject for these events was Confidence for Couples:  Parenting with Purpose - a focus on the challenge of parenthood and the change in lifestyle which can leave both parents feeling as if they're parenting in isolation.  These talks were aimed at encouraging parents to plan ahead and approach raising a family as a strong partnership, making the parenting journey easier and more enjoyable. 

At these talks, I also introduced my new Preparenting Programme™; the profound new way of preparing for parenthood and being, in my words, a Preparent.  A step-by-step action plan with guidance for each stage, the Programme is designed to raise awareness of what it really means to be a parent, and help you become better prepared for the choices, changes and challenges that lie ahead.

What’s more, until the end of July 2008, you can save 50% off the standard price and download the Preparenting Programme for just £3.50 (or equivalent currency).  To find out more, please visit my new Preparenting website.

If you require further help and advice with regards to other or particular aspects of parenting, my series of audio guides or telephone mentoring service may be just what you need. Also, in special circumstances I can make home visits. Read on to find out more, or simply get in touch.

My website also contains a range of FREE articles about parenting-related issues, feedback from some of the parents I’ve helped, a link to my regularly updated blog and some recommendations for further reading.

Much like your parenting journey, my research, philosophy and experiences with families continues to evolve and therefore this site is frequently updated to reflect my observations. I welcome these from families too and my blog page is intended to share your thoughts. Happy reading and I wish you the best of luck as you venture into preparenthood.
