Debra & Hanna
Meet Debra 🌼
​
Mum of four. Twenty years of experience. And genuinely, truly, doing her dream job.
I'm passionate about every part of what I do — teaching antenatal classes, baby massage, and family first aid — but what I love most is being there at the very beginning of your family's story. Being trusted to be part of those early days never gets old.
The bit that makes my heart sing? I'm still in touch with families from my very first course over 20 years ago — watching tiny babies grow into teenagers and cheering from the sidelines at more milestones than I can count. That's not just a job, that's a privilege. 🌼
BabyMatters is the culmination of over two decades of specialist training and hands-on antenatal and postnatal experience. I trained and worked with the NCT before founding BabyMatters with one clear vision: to provide the very best local support for families in those life-changing early years — leaving you feeling informed, confident, and ready.
A very warm welcome to Hanna 🌼
I'm absolutely delighted that Hanna has joined the BabyMatters team over the past year. She has brought so much warmth, energy, and expertise, and together we can support even more families on their journey. I know you're going to love her just as much as I do!
We can't wait to meet you. 🌼

About me
Meet Hanna 🌼
I am a mum of 4 who is lucky enough to be doing my dream job! I am passionate about what I do - I love to teach antenatal, baby massage and family first aid classes. It is a pleasure to be involved with so many families at the start of their exciting journeys and then to see them grow up – I’m still in touch with families from my first course 20 years ago!
​
My vision is simple to share this precious experience and expertise with you so that you can really feel informed and empowered as you start out on your family life.

babymatters is a culmination of over 20 years of training and highly specialised ante and post natal experience. I trained and worked for the NCT before I started babymatters so I could concentrate to provide the best possible local antenatal and postnatal support.
