Nurture offers heartfelt guidance and support for families and is run by Childbirth Educator and award-winning photographer Josie Gritten. 

Through pregnancy, in labour, and beyond into parenting, Josie supports people with decision-making tools that help them make informed choices and experience positive birth outcomes.

​

Informed, empowered birth is the best preparation for positive parenting and Josie supports people on this journey with humour and sincerity.

​

No matter what your birth looks like; if YOU are the voice of your choice, then you have a far greater chance of walking away feeling positive and empowered.

"Josie has been so supportive. She empowered us to ask questions which meant I still felt in control despite the birth being different to how we'd hoped."  ~ Debbie

“I wanted to thank you for being such an inspiration and so supportive…you were the first person to tell me that labour could be a positive thing. It was thanks to you that I started reading about positive ways to give birth...My labour was a wonderful and positive experience...Beau was born in a fantastic, relaxed and happy way. And that peace and contentment has stayed with him – he’s such a happy and chilled baby. I’m sure that’s in no small part thanks to your influence. Thank you!"  ~ Kate

"The labour and birth [of our second baby] couldn’t have gone any better...The session we had and the resources you put me in touch with really helped me realise that I didn’t need to rely on external validation this time around...Thanks so much for helping to empower me to have the best birth that I could have hoped for."
