Hi, I’m Aileen White (she/her) and I’ve been offering perinatal mental health support (perinatal means before and after birth) to families for the past eleven years since overcoming Tokophobia (fear of childbirth) and becoming a parent myself. This year I became a Kent County Council Trauma Informed Ambassador.
As a qualified and experienced teacher, I am passionate about helping you learn a personalised toolkit of creative strategies to help you flourish and thrive. Through our support, you can become more resilient and confident. I offer childbirth preparation, birth trauma recovery and parenting support groups or 1:1 over the internet or face-to-face in and around Canterbury UK.
Being the parent of a neuro diverse child, I recognise how important it is to tailor my support to meet your needs, to offer a very warm welcome to LGBTQIA+ families and to those with English as a second language.
I recognise not everyone can afford tailored support, so I founded My Birth Support CIC. Through grant funding we are able to offer our perinatal mental health support events in groups at a more affordable rate for all. We also offer our support via social prescribing through Red Zebra and Involve Kent. We are delighted that we have been awarded a Kent Mental Wellbeing Award in Autumn 2024!
Our support includes:
Birth Preparation
Develop your toolkit for pregnancy, birth and parenting with confidence.
Trauma Recovery
Come to terms with an unexpected or traumatic birth experience.
Living with Loss
Create ways to commemorate your baby after miscarriage, still birth or neonatal death.
Parenting
A community to support you as you grow and flourish in your role as a parent.
