Lesley is proud to be a Patron of the Brazelton Centre UK. She was influenced by Dr Brazelton from early in her career where she attended lectures given by him and met him in person when he visited UBC Vancouver Canada. A central point of Lesley’s work is supporting strong relationships between mother and baby and father/other parent and the family. She integrated Brazelton’s work on newborn behaviour and assessment from a very early stage in her career.
