About Me

Hi and Welcome to Well Balanced Therapies 🌟

I'm Pen, and I'm here to help you get your power back!

As you may have already read, I was a midwife for over 20 years, having a 2 year stint as a health visitor in between. I spent the last few years as a midwife specialising in perinatal mental health. I have 2 children and battled with postnatal depression for 7 years. If this illness is left unrecognised or not dealt with, it can not only last for many years, but impact your life as a mother and a woman for a long time.

Working now as a hypnotherapist, a massage therapist and a shamanic practitioner, I draw on all of my experience and knowledge in supporting women to navigate their way through the hormonal ups and downs of the reproductive cycle. I use an holistic approach to re-empower self-belief and self-confidence. Having accumulated all this knowledge I wish to share it to help others. So if you are feeling alone, struggling with difficult or intense emotions, dealing with postnatal depression, I would like to reassure you it doesn't have to be this way.

Getting help during pregnancy, early motherhood or during the process of menopause, is so key to managing your journey. Either working in groups or as 1-2-1, I will help you to access your full potential, re-build your confidence, and empower your own abilities during these life changing times. This is where my passion lies.

If you have any questions at all then please do contact me to see if I can help. If I can't then I will help you to find someone who can!
