As a trusted pair of hands, I work closely with mothers and their partners to build their confidence and trust in themselves as they grow their family. I help you to navigate an easier, calmer birth. At the heart of my work is a passion for supporting the whole family, especially championing dads in the birth room - encouraging them to grow, feel empowered and be fully present as parents and advocates.
I specialise in creating bespoke support packages tailored to each client's unique needs, combining the deep respect for the way we are designed to birth with a knack for enhancing your birth environment - wherever that may be. Birth support is the work that I was put on this planet to do, and I absolutely love it! Seeing parents’ step into their new roles and transform before my eyes is the greatest privilege to witness. It’s a huge honour that families trust me in their precious birth space.
I also work to reduce the chances of unwanted interventions and trauma. I have worked with families from diverse belief systems and backgrounds, learning new cultures and how that can be supported in the birth space. Often birthing in a country that you didn’t grow up in or where you haven’t always felt respected and seen, can be especially challenging. I am skilled at helping you find your way through the system and create a birth experience that feels truly your own.
And then there's the bit no one talks about – the AFTER. A whole new world of baby parenting and change again which can often be overwhelming and daunting. Before birth, we will work together to outline realistic expectations of what this period looks like and create a plan to help you step into the postnatal chapter with clarity and confidence.

With finances stretched for so many, it is a vital part of my work that I offer the same essential services to all families regardless of their circumstances. Every mother deserves to have the support she needs. Talk to me about how you can be a part of this - contributing a little more so that I can pay that on to another family in need.
