Supporting Families at the Start of Parenthood

Rooted in preparing families for parenthood through practical, evidence-based training.

About Tree of Life

01

I am Madeleine, and I've been an Antenatal Facilitator for over 10 years, supporting expectant parents through one of the most profound journeys of their lives.

02

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of families - helping them prepare for birth, understand their choices, and approach early parenthood with confidence.

03

Tree of Life was born from my belief that life, in all its forms, is precious. My mission is to nurture, protect, and celebrate it: from preparing parents to welcome new life, to equipping them with the tools and knowledge to keep that life safe and thriving.

03

In addition to antenatal education, I now offer Paediatric First Aid courses for parents and carers. These hands-on sessions are designed to give you the practical skills and confidence to respond calmly and effectively in an emergency - because knowing what to do can truly make all the difference.

Compassionate Teaching and Evidence-Based Guidance

My aim is to create a calm, safe, and supportive environment where every parent feels seen, heard and prepared.

"Madeleine was absolutely fabulous and I would recommend to anyone I know having children to attend the class. We felt so empowered by what we learnt."

"I was very anxious prior to taking part in the course, but this completely changed that for me. All of the info was presented in an easily digestible, gentle and sensitive format. We loved our course leader and really enjoyed her sessions."

"Our course leader was very enthusiastic, engaging and knowledgeable. The sessions were well structured with a good balance of group work, theory, and more. It was also great to meet other local parents-to-be."
