Harriet Sharkey
BA Hons

Author, on pregnancy, parenting & babies
Doula, trained with Michel Odent
Reverse Therapist, specialising in treating ME and reducing stress

I came into babiesknow in my capacity as a writer, mother and researcher. I have been writing with Yehudi for over ten years, collaborating on books (including Birth & Beyond) and a range of information sheets on all aspects of women's health. And I have a strong drive to discover what it means to be human - baby, child or adult - and ways to feel happy and fulfilled, and in good health.

I have trained as a doula, or birth companion, with Dr Michel Odent and Lilliana Lamas. I don't think I'll ever tire of the wonder of birth. I have also trained in Reverse Therapy for the treatment of ME, CFS and chronic health problems, with Dr John Eaton.

At Babiesknow I bring extensive knowledge of neuroscience, physiology and psychoneuroimmunology, and my own instincts and personal lessons from life. I believe that as adults we can all help babies and children have positive experiences, learn how to relate with honesty and compassion, and develop emotional intelligence. I also know that in every moment we have an opportunity to alter painful feelings, to change relationship patterns for the better, and come more closely in touch with ourselves. And I like to keep it fun and uplifting - touching on serious issues but never forgetting the pleasure that comes with play.
