My own journey into parenthood has ignited this passion for the special life chapter that pregnancy, birth and postpartum is. With each of my own births, I encountered a longing to support, encourage, and see woman and thrive during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I learned about Doulas and couldn't wait to become one myself.
Now I feel that something in my life has come full circle, and I'm exited, honoured and touched that I get to engage in this special kind of calling.

Despite both my births being quite different, I noticed that the key to a positive birth experience is not that all goes ''to plan'' - while we celebrate that rejoice if that's the case!
Birth is beautiful, sacred, the most fundamental natural process to human life, and unpredictable. I believe woman birth best, when they feel safe, supported, confident in their choices and when those choices are respected. This requires thought, support and preparation. Circumstances, preferences and situations may change. I believe as long as there is informed preparation that keeps those elements in tact, a positive birth experience is possible.
There is no right or wrong way, place or kind of birth, only the birth that is right for you and your baby.

Postpartum is such a complex time of incredible joy, exhaustion, amazement and overwhelm. It is as sacred as birth itself and deserves so much more planning, attention, time, support and respect than it often gets. It truly is a threshold into a new chapter, a new way of life, a new heart and a new person - yourself - to get to know, alongside your beautiful baby.
How that looks like varies from woman to woman, and again, the only right way is your own.

One way to help you feel grounded, calm and confident during pregnancy, birth and postpartum (including all that parenting entails) is Hypnobirthing. I'm excited to be able to offer Hypnobirthing as part of my support.

I offer antenatal, birth and postpartum support and am passionate to see you experience this season of your life supported, held, informed and confident.

I'd love to hear form you!
