Rosie Greenwood

I am a student lactation consultant currently working for the NHS. I have 8 years experience in supporting families during the perinatal period.

I offer various peri-natal services around Manchester and Cheshire including: Bespoke private or small group ante-natal sessions,
birth companion,
breastfeeding support,
post-natal support,
adjusting to parenthood sessions (group or private)

All group sessions offer an inclusive safe space for all couples.

Related skills and qualifications:
I trained and worked as a volunteer breastfeeding peer supporter in 2012 and took doula training in 2013. I have completed the Nurturing Birth training and attended a doula information session run by Paramana Doula. I am now working as a mentored doula in the Tameside, Cheshire, Oldham and Glossop areas.
I find working with families very rewarding and am passionate about empowering and supporting families to have the birth experience that’s right for them. I support parents to have their babies in hospital, at home, with or without pain relief, hypnobirthing, and c-sections. My aim is to empower and inform parents to make choices that are right for them. I am currently studying person centered counselling as I am particularly interested in working with families affected by perinatal depression.
