Create your community.

The first 1,000 days

The first 1,000 days referrs to the moment a child is conceived up until their 2nd birthday. During this time you will require a variety of different people in your life. Surrounding yourself with a community of support will have a lasting effect on the health of both you and your baby. I am always learning and discovering new ways to support the women I work with, as I find them I’ll list them here for you to explore.
