Congratulations on your pregnancy or new baby! It's great that you are considering doula support, there are so many wonderful benefits that we offer. 

I am here to walk beside you on every step of your journey from pregnancy, to birth and early parenthood. This can be a wonderful, empowering journey, and having someone on your team to offer emotional and practical support and share information with you can make such a difference. As a Doula, I will help you advocate for yourself, and believe in your innate ability as a parent. I am a full-time Doula, having had a 13 year career as a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist in the NHS. I carry many transferable skills, and a wealth of knowledge about the healthcare system with me. 

I am passionate about women feeling empowered and centered in their birth experience. I understand the challenges faced by families facing birth in the modern maternity system and my aim is to equip you with the confidence you need to be able to give birth on your terms. Many of my clients seek an undisturbed, natural birth. I am proud to truly trust in your body's innate ability to give birth physiologically if that is what you choose, and I have witnessed many beautiful natural births. 

I have experienced supporting all types of birth, from C-section and assisted births to hospital, home births and freebirths. I have extensive experience supporting families postnatally, including with breast and bottle feeding. 

My support comes without judgement, I will be on your team, beside you every step of the way. My goal is for you to move forward from your birth feeling physically, mentally and emotionally healthy, ready for the next chapter of your life. 

 I  live with my husband, two young children, two cats, and often a trio of visiting horses! We live a busy outdoorsy muddy lifestyle, but also love nothing more than snuggling down under a blanket.  My hobbies include swimming, yoga, and delving through charity shops! 

An up to date list of services offered can be found on my website. Please message me directly, or book a discovery call via the website to chat through your needs and to see if we are a good fit.

"I had the most beautiful home birth with Bonnie's support. I felt confident that she would be my strongest advocate during labour. She held my birthing space beautifully, quietly reassuring and encouraging me from the sidelines. I gave birth feeling like an absolute goddess and the whole experience is one I look back on with such joy." Alice.

"With all the support and planning we did together we were able to have the most perfect labour and birth experience. I felt empowered and strong enough to birth my child without any intervention or pain relief. In all honesty it is hard to put into words how much we appreciated the support we had from Bonnie and how different our experience would have been without her involvement. Best decision ever reaching out to her." Megan

"I knew Bonnie was there for me at every step along the way. She has the most gentle calming voice, which you need when things really heat up! When we came home, Bonnie was there to help me with breastfeeding, and hold my baby while I rested." Nadia.

"Bonnie has been an invaluable support to me in our postpartum journey. She listened, showing such empathy to the breastfeeding struggles we were having. Bonnie had a wealth of suggestions and shared useful resources. Her encouragement kept me going and I am so grateful to her." Katie

"Working with Bonnie was wonderful. She made us feel completely at ease and was brilliant with our baby. I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for support postpartum" Evie
