About settled petals
Our aim is to support and empower parents and caregivers to promote a relaxing, holistic environment for their children to bloom. We have created a number of instant access resources, based on child development and evidence based practice to assist with this.
This includes support for:
We also offer 1:1 support calls for those who would prefer tailormade recommendations and support in relation to Infant Sleep and Potty Training.
Susan aims to help individuals launch or expand their infant consultancy ventures, offering accredited, evidence-based courses in:
- Baby Massage and Yoga Instructor Training
- Family Centred Infant Sleep (to qualify as a Baby and Toddler Sleep Consultant)
- Potty Training Consultancy (to become a Certified Potty Training Consultant).
All 4 courses have been accredited by FEDANT (Federation of Antenatal Educators). They are also suitable for those who already work within Early Years settings and for those who support families with young children - such as midwifes, social workers, family support workers and Health Visitors.
We prioritise a family-centred approach, tailoring support plans for individual families and assisting individuals in starting their own businesses.
Instantly accessible, parent resources can be used as often as desired.
Accredited training, offered online, accommodates your schedule without fixed start or end dates. Susan is on hand to support throughout your studies. Continuous access to exclusive Facebook groups for students and graduates ensures peer support.
