About Me
I have been a birth doula since 2015 with some intermittent breaks along the way.
Alongside my doula work I also am a practicing Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in perinatal trauma, anxiety and depression. I am also the founder of the website www.traumaticbirthrecovery.com and the author of the book:
I believe that birth should be an ordinary, affirming, satisfying and empowering life event that sets parents up well for the next stage of life with a newborn.
Too often parents don’t feel well informed, supported or cared for and I believe this is when birth can become a negative and even traumatic experience, causing a ripple of trauma symptoms for a long time afterwards.
A good birth is one where you supported, cared for and safe. As a doula I can support parents to overcome fears, engage positively with their birthing body and enjoy their birth experience.
I combine both hypnobirthing and bio mechanics in my birth preparation sessions (usually 2 x 3 hours in pregnancy), have a range of books and online resources for parents to mine. I am available on call 14 days before EDD, will accompany parents through established labour, birth and until parents feel good afterwards.
I am particularly happy at home births where parents often feel more relaxed and comfortable as birth unfolds at it’s own pace. I also have experience of working at Hillingdon, West Middx, Chelsea Westminster, Queen Charlottes, Kingston and St Peters maternity.
Please book a free consultation to see if we would be a good match to work together.
