Building your Confidence - 1:1 Online Coaching for an Empowering Pregnancy and Birth.

My primary goal is to empower you throughout your pregnancy journey, ensuring you feel calm, prepared, and in control during labour and birth. Pregnancy and birth should not be a scary or passive experience, but rather an opportunity for you to take charge and make informed choices that align with your needs and preferences. If you are feeling stressed, worried, or unsure about your labour and birth, I am here to provide guidance, support decision-making, and equip you with tools to have an efficient and easier labour. Even if you are unsure where to begin or need help in understanding your options, I will provide the necessary support and guidance tailored to your unique situation.

Hi, if we haven’t spoken yet, I’m Janine Gard. A highly experienced and qualified Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting Specialist. I’ve facilitated Antenatal and Postnatal Programs for 18 years and taught over 5000 parents! My coaching services go beyond traditional antenatal classes. I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in a fun and friendly approach to guide and support you and your partner throughout your journey and I am delighted to offer you and your partner personalised support and coaching services to navigate this special time.

As the saying goes, "Knowledge is Power," and I firmly believe in it.

My approach is suitable for both first-time mothers and those who have had challenging or traumatic birth experiences in the past. During our sessions, you will build confidence, gain knowledge, have your questions answered, and learn to trust in your ability to birth.

Why choose to work with me?

I offer a completely non-judgmental and non-biased approach, focusing solely on increasing your knowledge, and empowerment, ensuring that you feel confident throughout the birthing process and those first few months as a new parent. I am passionate about helping you understand your options and take the lead in your care. The course content I have created is relevant and based on best practices.

An idea of the content covered (this is tailored for you, therefore this is not an exhaustive list):

  • Discover your options when it comes to support in labour that may best suit you and writing a list of 'birth wishes'

  • Building confidence and your knowledge base throughout your pregnancy and in preparation for labour and birth

  • Sharing tools to develop your communication skills if you need to make decisions during your pregnancy and/or labour so you become 'part of' any decision making process.

  • Exploring the Fourth Trimester and preparing for the postnatal period and the transition into parenthood
