If you speak English, live in the Nyon area and you’re pregnant or have just had a baby, then you should know that there is a qualified and fully registered English midwife working on your door step!
Since she started her practice in January last year, Louise Colassis has looked after more than 120 women, and the numbers keep growing! There is clearly a huge demand for high quality community midwifery services in the region, especially when they are provided in English.
Louise told knowitall.ch, “At the moment, I am one of only two English midwives in the Nyon district, so I try, with my colleague, to cover the needs of the English-speaking women in the area - not only English as a mother tongue, but as a second, or family language, for women who don't speak French. I offer pre- and post-natal care for women, including preparation courses for groups, or private one-on-one courses in the patient’s home.”

A local speech therapist, Christine Breede-Schechter, has set up a series of discussion groups in Geneva for parents of children with developmental issues.
Held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays throughout the academic year, the S.P.E.A.K. (Strengthening Parents Efforts and Kids) Parent Discussion Groups have been designed to offer much needed support to parents who are feeling overwhelmed by the challenge of raising a child with developmental difficulties such as language delay, learning difficulty, social problems, stuttering or dyslexia.
Through a combination of lecture, reflective discussion, exercises, and readings parents will have an opportunity to:
- Increase knowledge, gain confidence
- Develop coping and problem solving skills
- Discuss effective parenting strategies
- Find practical and emotional support within the group and beyond
Not only will parents be able to express their individual concerns, they will also receive feedback and exchange ideas with other parents. As a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, with over 15 years of experience working with parents and children, Christine will also offer her expertise and guidance.
