Baby and Child Sleep Consultant

Alexandra Collingbourne

I specialise in safe, holistic methods of getting your baby, toddler or young child to sleep in a way that empowers parents to live better, happier and with more energy. As a mum of two, very energetic little boys, I was inspired to start my journey as a consultant by my eldest son.

His struggles with sleep had an impact on our whole family, and helped me understand how poor sleep can impact our relationships with our children, partners and our own mental health. So in 2019 I founded Sleep by Alexandra to help families through some of the toughest times.

I have worked with hundreds of families worldwide after completing my certifications as a Sleep Practitioner and in Postnatal Depression support with the London School of Childcare Studies and MNT. I am also a registered member with the British Sleep Society.

Midwife

Emma Gasking

Emma is a registered midwife and the CEO and founder of The Parent Education Company.

My goal is to provide you with a safe, reliable, and comprehensive environment to learn in, along with all of the tools and support you need to feel empowered, prepared, and completely confident on your journey to becoming a parent.

In the antenatal course “Bump to Birth and Beyond” we explore your birthing experience including the tools and information you need to help you make informed decisions about your birth, and the knowledge to be able to prepare for and manage the unexpected. In the beyond birth section we explore parenthood including the practical aspects, the mental and emotional aspects, plus the exciting developments in infant neuroscience and the practical “how to’s” of those first few days and weeks.

Nutritionist

Katie Angotti

My interest in nutrition started at school with my Food Technology A Level and the focus in the press at the time on the poor quality of school meals (thank you Jamie Oliver!). I went on to study for a BSc degree in Public Health Nutrition and my passion for public health and paediatric nutrition grew. I’ve specialised in nutrition during this first 1000 days period ever since. I’m passionate about nutrition, and a proud member of the Association for Nutrition, the Faculty of Public Health and the Royal Society of Public Health – meaning you can trust that the information I give is evidence-based. I am committed to continually improving my practice and am currently studying for an MSc in Public Health. I’ve worked in the NHS with families of babies and young children, supporting parents with weaning, fussy eating and family meals, as well as developing nutrition programmes for nurseries, children’s centres and schools.

If you’re looking for a trusted professional, make sure you use an Association for Nutrition Registered Nutritionist.

Paternal Mental Health Expert

Scott Mair

My name is Scott. I am a husband, Veteran, dad to 7 boys and founder of PMH Support. I set up PMH Support after experiencing paternal mental Ill health after traumatic events during deliveries of 3 of my boys. Which left me with PTSD and anxiety.

There was no awareness or real support I could find so I set up PMH support to promote awareness and educate parents on parental mental health while also offering parenting hints and tips I have picked up a lot of my 18 years of parenting.

I work locally and nationally speaking to expectant parents at antenatal classes and consult on ways to support dads/partners. I am a member of the Paternal Mental Health Alliance, peer to peer leader trained, team member of the Perinatal M H training CIC and a qualified Beyond Birth Mental Wellbeing Practitioner.
