About Me

Hello,
I'm Ailsa, a mummy to two beautiful children, Albie aged 2 and Ayla aged 9 months, and a midwife at my local hospital.

As a midwife, I get the privilege of being surrounded by soon-to-be, and brand new, parents, so as you can imagine pregnancy, parenthood, and babies are my passion! I enjoy it so much that I decided to look into further areas I could work in.

Antenatal classes: When I was pregnant with my son Albie, I was interested in doing antenatal classes, however being a shift worker found that it was going to be difficult for me to attend them due to the unpredictability of my shifts. It was then that I decided that antenatal classes to fit around me would be ideal, and so Bump to Baby by Ailsa was created. 

Baby Massage: Following the birth of my son Albie, I suffered quite badly with postnatal depression. I discussed how I was feeling with my Health Visitor, and she suggested I took up a baby massage class to help me feel more connected to him, and build our bond. We both enjoyed these classes so much that I decided to take a course in teaching baby massage, and used what I had learnt on my daughter Ayla when she was born. 

Photography: I'm a huge fan of photography as it gives you the opportunity to capture brief moments in time and solidify them in your memory forever. Having my children has emphasized this so much, as time flies by so fast, therefore having my photos to look back on is invaluable. This is why I took up maternity and newborn photography, as I wanted to help other parents capture those special fleeting moments to look back on.

Family is so important to me, and having children has taken that to a whole new level. I want to be able to support and assist people to make the most of such a short, but important, period of time. 

If any of the services I offer interest you, please do contact me to discuss it further or to book in. 

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
