Family is all that matters to us, and the reason we created The Natal Network was to support families just like yours. We believe that reliable, quality parenting support should be a lot more accessible, which is why we’re here!
We consider ourselves privileged to help families meet their goals or work through difficult times. We can provide guidance and support at every step, whether you want to learn more about what to expect at birth and how to create a realistic birth plan that is perfect for you, or if you need help with anything once your baby’s arrived. From concerns about feeding to sleep habit worries, we’re here to walk the path alongside you.
There’s never a straightforward answer, which is why we’re here to listen to you, find out what you’re going through, and offer advice and expertise that fits your parenting ethos. We love seeing how different families tackle parenting, and our role is just to support you through your own journey, never to steer you away from it or judge you.
We are insured by Hiscox.
Our Practitioners
Emily
Hi, I’m Emily. I developed an interest in infant feeding after witnessing the profound impact made when families are well supported throughout their infant’s feeding journey, no matter what their choices are.
Years of experience working for the NHS have taught me that infant feeding isn’t just about ‘feeding’. Supporting families with sleep is often treated as a low priority by professionals, or they give conflicting advice, so that sparked my curiosity to train as a Holistic Sleep Coach.
I’ve worked to learn more about how to support families and improve everyone’s sleep quality, without compromising normal infant behaviours.

Helen
Since my eldest was born in 2016, I have been working and volunteering in the fields of birth, infant feeding, child development (0-19 years), and parenting.
After experiencing the profound impact of a traumatic birth, I pursued training in Craniosacral Therapy, Hypnobirthing and the 3-Step Rewind (NLP) technique. These therapies have enabled me to help families release tension and trauma held in their bodies, enhancing the wellness of the whole family.
My aim is to help families to prioritise their well-being by addressing and working through any trauma they may be carrying. This approach can make the early days with a newborn more manageable, time with infants more enjoyable, and the pre/postnatal period more peaceful.
