About our Founder
Hi, I’m Charlie
I specialise in empowering parents with science-backed, practical guidance across the early years, whether you're navigating feeding, sleep, toddler meltdowns, or potty training.
Founder & Specialist Public Health Nurse
I’m a Specialist Public Health Nurse and the founder of The Healthy Child Co.
I’ve spent more than 15 years working in the NHS, supporting children and families through some of the most exciting and sometimes most overwhelming stages of early childhood.
I created The Healthy Child Co to give parents somewhere they can access trustworthy, evidence-based information without judgement, fear or information overload.
Why The Healthy Child Co?
Working with families, I saw the same thing again and again: parents weren't lacking information. They were drowning in it. Google said one thing. Social media said another. Friends and family had their own opinions. And somewhere amongst all that noise, parents were losing confidence in themselves. I wanted to create something different. A place where child development science is translated into practical, realistic advice, helping parents understand why their child is behaving the way they are, and what they can do to support them.
Because when you understand your child, everything starts to make a little more sense.
My Approach & Philosophy
My mission is simple: to strengthen families by equipping parents with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to raise happy, healthy children.
UNDERSTAND THE CHILD
Behaviour is communication. I look at what's happening developmentally before focusing on how to change it.
SUPPORT THE RELATIONSHIP
Connection, responsiveness and emotional safety sit at the heart of my approach.MAKE IT WORK IN REAL LIFE
Evidence matters, however advice also has to work at 3am, during a supermarket meltdown or when you've made dinner and your toddler refuses to touch it.
