    Meet the Naturopath & Postnatal Doula

    In this episode of the My Bump to Baby Expert Podcast, Carla is joined by naturopath and postnatal doula Katie. And this chat is a proper eye-opener. Katie shares how she supports mums and babies from pre-conception right through to postpartum. From refluxy newborns and itchy baby eczema, to feeding struggles, colic, and postnatal recovery. She explains what’s really going on inside those tiny bodies, why some babies struggle more than others, and what gentle, practical support can look like. You’ll also hear Katie’s powerful personal story. From a life-changing health diagnosis to becoming a mum against the odds. And how that journey shaped the way she now helps families feel calmer, more confident, and less alone. If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed, a mum trying to heal after birth, or simply curious about natural support for babies and fertility, this episode will leave you feeling informed, supported, and a little more hopeful. Pop the kettle on.

    Birth On Your Terms

    Carla chats with Laura Spencer, independent midwife and founder of Gentle Midwifery Norfolk, about why so many parents don’t feel seen in pregnancy and birth – and what a gentler, more personalised approach can look like. Laura shares how her own pregnancies opened her eyes to the gaps in maternity care. That experience pushed her to retrain as a midwife, start at the very bottom as a volunteer and breastfeeding supporter, work in the NHS… and eventually take the leap into independent practice when the private midwifery company she worked for folded overnight. She talks honestly about life inside the NHS: https://gentlemidwiferynorfolk.co.uk/ To find out more about joining the Growth Nest click here biz.mybump2baby.com/the-growth-nest To find out more about joining the Digital Marketing Playground Membership click here https://digital.mybump2business.com/digital-marketing-playground-membership Hosted on Acast.
