About Us
Debra was born in South Africa and moved to England in the mid 80's
after marrying her ski-instructor who she met on a holiday in Austria.
She has lived in Maidenhead for seventeen years. Maarten and Debra have four
children. After having worked for an airline for 10 years Debra realised that
shift work and 2 children was a very difficult combination so she left and
began her training with the NCT (1994).
She qualified as an antenatal teacher in 1999 (taking longer than most but
she did have another baby in the middle of her training.)
Debra found she had a little spare time on her hands after their youngest
son started nursery school in 2004 and she decided to fill that time by
training to be an infant massage instructor with the IAIM (international association of infant massage). She decided to go down this route
because she had found this to be a very beneficial tool with her own children.
Debra successfully completed the training at the end of 2004 and has since been
running very popular baby massage and postnatal classes.
In 2008 Debra and 11 other colleagues set up flourishing Ante-natal organisation Birthmatters.
Now that all Debra's children are in full time education she yet again
went back to training to facilitate parenting courses for primary school
children completed in 2009.
