Calm, compassionate support for your parenting journey

Hi, I’m Kandis

Mum of 3 • NHS Clinician • Antenatal Specialist

I’m a pediatric advanced clinical practitioner with over 20 years of NHS experience — and a mum of three.

I know first-hand how exciting, overwhelming, and sometimes uncertain this stage of life can be.

I created Bloom & Slumber to offer calm, realistic, and compassionate support for parents navigating pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

My approach combines clinical knowledge with a holistic, down-to-earth style — helping you feel confident, informed, and truly supported every step of the way.
