“When I first had my son, I struggled with anxiety and a sense of being completely out of my depth. Andrea helped me realise that trusting my instinct as I got to know and love my wee man was absolutely the right approach.”

“The workshop was a real treat. We took our son when he was six weeks old. It was really hands-on and full of things you don’t think of as a new parent because you just don’t know. Andrea’s so kind, open, warm and knowledgeable, and we felt more confident and comfortable after.”
