Welcome From Nicola
“ Hi! I’m Nicola and I have a (not-so-secret) passion for good quality, no nonsense, evidence-based antenatal education and postnatal support. Support that is flexible and inclusive enough to meet the needs of individuals, couples and families.
I believe that everyone should receive the support that is right for them, and they have the right to not have other peoples agendas and beliefs pushed upon then. So if you want a birth with all the pain relief options and would like to know more about breastfeeding, I’m with you. If you want a natural birth and to bottle feed your baby, I’m with you. If you want to explore hypnobirthing, but also understand all of the practical and powerful movements and positions for labour, guess what? I am with you. It is your birth, your baby, your way.
The reality of modern lifestyles means that many expectant parents just can’t find or access the quality education and help they need at a time that suits them. The courses at MAMBA are designed to give you the confidence and support you need at one of the most vulnerable and disorientating times in life.
I work with many women and partners for whom traditional antenatal courses just don’t feel right or work for them- such as those moving house, those working shifts, those adopting, those who have experienced previous trauma or loss, single sex couples, those who dislike group settings, those with disabilities, those suffering perinatal anxiety, those suffering previous loss or those in other special circumstances.
An experienced mum to three boys, having worked in healthcare for years, I retrained in this field in 2017 working with a franchise. I then launched MAMBA in 2019. I have worked with over 200 couples and still to this day feel that it is my privilege to support others during the magical, yet often difficult transition into parenthood.
I teach online antenatal group courses, but also have some self-guided courses in Baby Care and preparing To Breastfeed you can start today! I also offer private 1-2-1 courses for individuals enabling you to build your own bespoke package to meet your individual needs.
If you are looking for some education or guidance right now, then pick up the phone, email or text to find out what I can do to support you. ”
