About Us
Lynette Moore
Owner & Founder
Hi! My name is Lynette and I am British, and the mum of 1 little boy who was born in Madrid.
Before having my son I attended prenatal classes in Spain, where there was not only a language barrier between myself and the midwife, but also a lack of information on avoiding birth interventions, and little focus on the needs (especially emotional) of the mother after birth. Everything was about the baby! Finally, there was also a cultural barrier between myself and the other (Spanish) mums-to-be.
​
​
Afterwards, I realised that as well as not understanding some of the complicated medical terminology, I also didn’t know how to best prepare my mind or body for the reality of what was to come.
Finally (and crucially) I missed out on finding 'my tribe' of mums who could support me (and vice versa) after birth, as we entered the crazy ride of new motherhood.
I also noticed that after having my son there was a lack of support in English, to assess me and my baby and answer my doubts as a first time parent.
​
What comes after having the baby is an amazing time, but it can also be confusing, challenging, and lonely (especially when you are far from home and don’t speak the language).
With the desire to create an inclusive, informative, and friendly space for new parents, I have designed pre and postnatal services for YOU, to cover exactly what I, and so many others, have missed.

Caroline Dempsey
Midwife
Hi! My name is Caroline and I’m from near Dublin, Ireland.
I am the main midwife leading the Prenatal Course and Consultations.
I also assist new parents in postnatal visits.
My professional experience was first as a nurse, before working as a midwife for many years, in a very busy Irish maternity hospital.
Giving birth to 2 children in Spain has enabled me to understand the local system and, on a personal level, really empathise with people giving birth here. I also really understand the challenges that can come from bi-cultural parenting!​
As well as prenatal, I am also particularly interested in breastfeeding, babycare, and postnatal care.
​
I am super excited to be involved with Baby on Board, as new parents are my passion. I absolutely love helping and guiding them during this special time, and I really value the need for empowerment with knowledge. I love enabling parents to reach autonomous and informed decisions, and to arm them with the confidence to advocate for themselves, during this precious (but challenging) time in their lives.
Hello! My name is Marina and I am a nurse midwife, and also a Certified Lactation Consultant.
After spending 7 years working in this profession in the UK, I am now very happy to be back in Madrid and part of the incredible team at Baby on Board Spain!

Marina Revilla Martin
Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)
I am also very passionate about breastfeeding and mental health, which are important parts of the birth and parenting journey that are often not adequately supported. And so, due to my passion for promoting positive feeding journeys, in 2023 I obtained the IBCLC Lactation Consultant title.
Helping women and their families to have positive pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is why I love being a midwife. I love teaching people about their choices to ensure they are heard and empowered. I also love meeting and caring for families from all walks of life. It is an honour for me!
Before returning to Spain, I spent many years living and working in a foreign country. This really helped me to understand and feel empathy for how stressful it must be being in a un-familiar environment (especially in pregnancy and postpartum, when emotions are high!) without family support. However, you now have us!
Rachael Wilson
Certified Infant Sleep Consultant
Hi! My name is Rachael. I am originally from Scotland, however spent most of my career as a nanny in London before moving to Girona, Spain with my husband and 2 young children.
I currently run the Sleep Workshops with Baby On Board!
​​​
I became a sleep consultant in 2017 after experiencing fellow parents around me having extreme difficulties with sleep, unsure of what and how to solve the challenges and feeling more and more frustrated and exhausted. I have taken many trainings and courses to equip me with the tools and knowledge to help and support you through your sleep challenges to reach your family sleep goals. I look forward to reaching a wider audience that are looking for sleep support in a foreign country and supporting them in their journey to achieve peaceful, restful sleep.
Together with Baby On Board, we provide valuable sleep solutions and guidance to families in Spain (and beyond!), helping them create a brighter and more well-rested future for parents and their babies and toddlers!
