About Us
Lynette Moore
Owner
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 minimum intervention births, and little focus on the needs (especially emotional) of the mother postpartum. Everything was about the birth and 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 comlicated medical terminology in a second language, 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 new mums who could support me (and vice versa) after our births as we entered the crazy ride of new motherhood.
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 an antenatal course for YOU to cover exactly what I, and so many others, missed.
We hope to see you there!
Caroline Dempsey Rincón
Midwife & Nurse
Hi! My name is Caroline and I’m from near Dublin, Ireland.
My professional experience was first as a general nurse, before working as a midwife in areas of prenatal care and education, delivery, and postnatal care in a very busy maternity hospital in Dublin.
Giving birth to 2 children myself here in Spain has enabled me to understand the local system and, on a personal level, to really empathise with the mum and her partner whilst understanding what knowledge needs to be addressed.
As well as prenatal care, I am also particularly interested in breastfeeding, babycare, and postnatal care of the mother.
I am super excited about Baby on Board as I absolutely love looking after both mums and babies during this special time. I really value the need for advocacy and empowering new parents with knowledge around birthing, before and after care, and enabling them to reach autonomous and informed decisions throughout this precious time.
