As your birth doula, my role is to walk alongside you with calm, continuous, and reassuring support—emotionally, practically, and informatively. I am here from pregnancy, through labour and birth, and into the precious early days after your baby arrives. My aim is to help you feel informed, confident, and held at every step.
Through my personalised antenatal and hypnobirthing sessions, I’ll walk alongside you with calm, practical, and reassuring support, tailored to your unique journey. Whether you choose the full course of sessions or a focused power hour, my aim is to help you feel informed, confident, and supported as you prepare for birth.

- Biomechanics for Birth with Molly O’Brien

- Peanut Ball Support with Wendy Procter

To make things easier, I also provide a complete birth kit with items that make a big difference on the day: a TENS machine, birth ball, peanut ball, string lights, acupressure and myofascial release balls, yoga blocks, and a foldable mat — all included, so you don’t have to worry about buying things you may only use once.
My Philosophy of Care
I believe that birth is a deeply personal experience, and no matter what your path looks like — home birth, hospital birth, or cesarean — I’ll be there with compassion, clarity, and zero judgment. My approach is calm, warm, and grounded, always centred on your needs and choices.
I see my role as creating a safe, nurturing space where you and your family feel held and confident, with the right balance of evidence-based knowledge and intuitive support.
