Hi, I'm Ceridwen! I'm the host of the Postpartum Prep Podcast.
When I had my first baby, I kept asking myself one question: why did nobody tell me about this?!?
There was so much I didn't expect about life with my new baby.
Once I'd found my own feet in motherhood, it became my mission to help first-time moms-to-be prepare for what to realistically expect from life after birth. That's when I started growing my second baby: the Postpartum Prep Podcast!
If you're a first-time mom-to-be, then I'm here to tell you all the things I wish I'd known before my baby arrived.
Beyond the podcast, I am a lactation counselor, postpartum doula, and infant sleep practitioner specialising in mother-infant mental health. My practice is anchored in a commitment to supporting connection between babies and their caregivers.
I live in the Cayman Islands and work as a lactation counselor at Cove Lactation.
Thank you for being here!
