Support when you need it most
Helping New Parents Feel Confident, Supported, and Rested
Providing relaxed and informal Private Maternity Practitioner & Sleep Nanny services across Edinburgh, The Lothians & Glasgow
Bringing Your Baby Home Doesn’t Have to Feel Overwhelming
The early days with a newborn can be wonderful, emotional, exhausting, and sometimes completely all-consuming.
Whether you're preparing for your baby's arrival, adjusting to life with a newborn, or struggling with sleep deprivation, having the right support can make all the difference.
At Lothian Maternity Support, I provide professional newborn care, postnatal support, baby sleep support, and doula services for families across Edinburgh, West Lothian, East Lothian, Midlothian, Falkirk, Stirling, and Glasgow.
My goal is simple: to help you feel confident in caring for your baby while making those first weeks and months feel calmer, more manageable, and more enjoyable.
You Don't Have to Do This Alone
Becoming a parent comes with a steep learning curve.
Many of the families I work with tell me they feel pressure to have all the answers. Yet the reality is that caring for a newborn often raises far more questions than anyone expects.
Am I feeding my baby enough?
Why won't they settle?
How can we all get more sleep?
Is what we're experiencing normal?
These worries are completely understandable, especially for first-time parents.
As a qualified Maternity Practitioner with a midwifery background, MNT qualification and Doula UK training, I provide practical, evidence-based support that helps parents feel informed, reassured and empowered.
My role isn't to tell you how to parent. It's to support you in finding what works best for your family.

If you're struggling with frequent waking, unpredictable naps, or uncertainty around sleep routines, gentle baby sleep support can help.

Together we can work towards:
Better sleep habits
More predictable routines
Improved parental confidence
Reduced stress around sleep
More rest for the whole family
Families looking for a baby sleep consultant in Edinburgh, newborn sleep support in West Lothian, or gentle sleep coaching often benefit from personalised guidance that takes the guesswork out of sleep
