Goals Aims and Objectives – G.A.O
- OCD – This has become quite a focus and passion for me to share in the hope that it helps others suffering and for family and friends to perhaps get an insight and an understanding into it. It is very complex and has many aspects to it. My main experiences relate to intrusive thoughts which is something not talked about openly and yet very common among new parents.
- Synthetic Products – My other passion is to try and inform, limit or change the use of chemicals dispersed via products such as aerosols, cleaning agents and synthetic aromas that are used in childcare settings which includes any setting that children are in, such as swimming centres, soft play, nursery’s, toilet areas and even in our own homes. We are not always aware about what we are using and spraying around our children and how this may effect them, the environment they are in or what they are ingesting. It is a controversial topic and stems from an experience in a nursery setting that inspired me to want to highlight it and change it. My child also suffers with sensitive skin, eczema and allergies, it has become evident just how much products can effect her. I also suffer with fragrance sensitivities and allergies.
- Holistic Therapist – I am an experienced therapist providing complementary therapies to a range of clients over the years including those trying to conceive and throughout pregnancy. I did use therapies and techniques for myself prior, during and post pregnancy which I would like to share, because this was a valuable investment to my own health and wellbeing.
- Researcher – I spend most of my time researching a wide range of subjects usually relating to health and wellbeing and I am always eager to learn more and I spend a lot of my spare time updating my CPD (Continuing Professional Development) profile and just basically have my head in a book or online. I enjoy being in education and attend courses both in settings and online. With years experience within my professional field, I hope that by sharing my knowledge and experiences it may help my voice be heard.
- Vlog – Something I have been trying to pluck up the courage to do, so I can put myself on a platform and communicate to an audience that prefers this sort of medium and to discuss a wide range of topics relating to Budbaby and my G.A.O’s.
- Experiences – I want to share my own personal experiences and talk about Motherhood, as that was the initial aim, in the hope to provide an insight, offer comfort and support from my own issues in trying to conceive, miscarriages, birth and being a Mum and all that entails for me.
- Information – I would like to share all things related to parenting, places to visit, toys we like, practical items and products we have used and anything else that I think may be useful to others seeking information.
