Congratulations on your birth news!
I feel very privileged to walk alongside families during this very special time. I can offer you my time, support, information and nurturing care. This could be during your birth or after your birth.
I want you to feel empowered, safe and confident during your birth whatever your vision of birth is. Helping your partner to support you and feel comfortable is just as important, at this wonderful time for you both.
I trained with The Redtent doulas, which was informative, empowering and transformative. Being a doula is what I have always wanted to be, I have much to give to you at this time in your life. As a birth companion, I will be by your side quietly and calmly. Equally I can be there supporting you physically and emotionally where ever your birth takes place.
Postnatally a doula can come and help you at any point, to support you in the first stages of parenting. This is a time when mums need to look after themselves and a baby which can be a tricky time. I can help you with any breastfeeding issues, holding the baby whilst you rest and recover. Also with light house duties or preparing food with you or for you whilst you are feeding your baby.
I have been a holistic therapist since I was 21 (25 years ago) working in spas and clinics, specialising in massage ,facials , aromatherapy and reflexology. So I am coming from a long career of looking after and nurturing people. I can bring all this knowledge to your birth, Reflexology is a great treatment to receive during pregnancy, during early labour and postnatally. Massage can be a great comfort during birth.
I have been teaching baby massage classes for over 10 years, which i still teach and love. The classes are so cute and a wonderful skill for parents to learn whilst bonding with their baby. I have heard so many birth stories during my time teaching that I know having support during this time is imperative.
For me each of my birth’s were very different, my first son was born in a London hospital it was long and complicated. My second son was a hospital transfer in a ambulance which my Independent midwife came along with us and caught my baby , we left hospital 3 hours later. With her support I successfully breastfed and have very fond memories . My third son was born at home, again with the support of the Independent midwife . It was bliss to be able to climb into my bed and have my husband and boys there to enjoy the very special moment. They all loved it.
Having support for my second and third births was a game/life changer. I really believe having people you love and trust holding the space and holding you makes you feel safe and empowered.
I am a trained NHS breastfeeding/feeding peer supporter. Myself and a few others are running a free Mothers group from March 2025 in Lewes at The Dorset pub.
I am also DBS verified.
I can cook but it’s not my main forté. I definitely have my favourite healthy snacks which are full of nutritional value, that I bring along to a mum who has just birthed and can follow a recipe for the family to share.
