After giving birth at the Royal Berks in 2017, I dreamed of becoming a midwife. I began training in 2022 but soon realized my true passion was doulaing. I left midwifery, trained as an NCT antenatal practitioner, and completed my Developing Doulas course.

I hate how often expectant and new parents attract scary birth stories or unwanted advice. Through training and experience, I’ve learned the power of truly listening—before, during, and after birth. I love supporting parents in person or virtually, no matter their decisions or experiences—whether home freebirth or unplanned caesarean birth, breastfeeding or bottle feeding, bedsharing or room-sharing. Your journey is yours, and no one else’s opinions (including mine) should define it!

I faced my own breastfeeding challenges but was lucky to get amazing support—so in 2024, I trained as an ABM breastfeeding peer supporter. I also struggled with relaxation until my Love Your Birth Hypnobirthing training showed me it’s a skill. Practicing techniques like massage, breathing, and affirmations can transform birth, and I love helping others with this in person or online. Hypnobirthing also helps reframe birth, replacing fear with confidence and excitement!

I'm passionate about advocating for parents, especially when it comes to birth rights. Knowing your rights can truly transform your experience! Feel free to reach out for a no-obligation chat—I’d love to connect!
