About Designed To
I'm Jenni, a perinatal educator, mum to two small boys, and the heart behind everything that happens at Designed To.
I offer pregnancy and mother and baby classes, practical workshops and emotional support in Fareham. Whether you're preparing for your baby, finding your feet as a parent or making sense of an experience that's stayed with you, there is space for you here.
Expect honest conversations, evidence-based information and a warm welcome. You don't need to arrive feeling confident, have a settled baby or pretend that you've got it all together.
Hi, I’m Jenni!
However you found your way here, I can’t wait to get to know you and be part of your parenting journey - with warmth, honesty and absolutely no judgement xxx
My Story
Designed To started with me being the mum on the mat.
When my oldest was a newborn, I went along to Daisy baby classes and found much more than activities to do with him. I found friends, reassurance and somewhere I could talk honestly about being a mum. When my second son was born, I couldn't wait to go back.
Those classes meant so much to me that, when the opportunity came to train as a teacher, I took it. I qualified as a perinatal educator with The Daisy Foundation in 2023. When Daisy announced its closure, I still had my training, my enthusiasm and a very clear idea of what I wanted to offer to local families. So Designed To was born.
Since then, I've continued my training and developing what I offer, from Starting Solids and Singing Mamas to 3 Step Rewind and Debrief listening support.
My own experiences of motherhood, military family life and being part of a colourful neurodivergent family shape the way I work. I know what works beautifully for one family can be completely wrong for another.
My greatest wish is for you to leave with useful knowledge, more confidence in your own decisions and the feeling that someone has listened to you. Sometimes you need practical information. Sometimes you need company. Sometimes you need someone to hear the bits you've been scared to say out loud.
There is room for all of that and more, here at Designed To.
