The “Baby Lady” is a unique concept created by Jillian Lawrence to help take the fear out of pregnancy, birth and parenting. The Journey of pregnancy, birth and parenting is the most exciting, amazing, frightening, challenging and rewarding experience of our lives. Yet most of us come to it ill prepared, without a manual or on the job training. Some women and their partners have added complications these may be previous infertility, pregnancy or baby loss, past difficult birthing experiences or a difficult personal parenting experience.

As a Midwife Specialist in Education and a Consultant Therapist including Hypnotherapy, Bach Flower Remedies, The Baby Lady links the two roles together to deliver a quality, professional service. The Baby Lady offers support, empowerment, education and coping strategies, through person centered individual sessions, couple sessions and informal, fun courses. The Baby Lady has supported some couples and women through four consecutive pregnancies, using Hypnotherapy for birthing.

Others have sought her skills some 40 years following their birthing and early parenting experience. Both Fathers and Mothers have sought support through private consultations and attending education packages.
