Course Teachers

Harriet Symon

Harriet has been working in and around pregnancy and birth for the last 18 years - initially training in perinatal yoga with Birthlight, then supporting families in and around birth as a doula and more recently as a Blossom antenatal practitioner. I also run our local home birth group and am passionate about the power of birth and the transformational effects of people’s birth and early parenting experiences. Since those early days, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of women and families and have had 3 children myself. I firmly believe that learning continues with every family I meet and I feel very fortunate to be part of people’s journeys at this special time.

Noreen Hart
Noreen has been an Antenatal Educator for over 30 years, a Doula (birth supporter) for 28 years and was an NCT Antenatal Tutor and Assessor. She was, for many years, a visiting lecturer helping train future midwives in the Care of the Labouring Woman and Empowering Language.

Her passion is around supporting all parents as they embark on their journey through pregnancy, birth, feeding and early parenting in a non judgemental, caring and compassionate way.

"I love supporting women/birthing people, their partners and families to approach birth feeling calm and confident with loving support from their birth partners and midwives, however their birth unfolds.”

Noreen loves sharing the benefits of the Relaxation and Hypnobirthing, too. She is the mother of 4 sons and grandmother to 4 grandchildren, and is very happy when socialising and having fun with her family and friends.
