Judith Richardson, RMN

Jude supported me towards the end of my third trimester and throughout the first six months of having my second child. My first pregnancy had been very difficult, and my anxiety levels were increasing as I prepared our family for welcoming a sibling for our daughter. During the time I worked with Jude, I also discovered that our daughter is neurodivergent, and combined with the joy and challenges of a newborn, I was supporting and advocating for her as she made the transition to Primary School with undiagnosed special educational needs. Jude was an ever-calm, pragmatic and insightful constant during that time - offering me a safe space to process my feelings and giving me the confidence to trust my instincts. Without Jude's wisdom, encouragement, and support, my son's first year would not have been as settled and happy a one.
