Some kind words..
‘You have meant the world to us. There is no way birth would have felt this positive, nor would we have been able to be so united & supportive of eachother without you. Your antenatal work is so informative & organised. You are a professional yet you are like a close friend’
‘I am so grateful we had you when we did in my pregnancy so that I could process the physiology of birth & make the right choices. You enabled us to be so informed. I was so grateful for the soup after the birth, the photographs during & after of our new family, the back massages & breakdown of the placenta. You are so flexible & just met us where we were at. So grateful for you’
‘Grace’s attitude & non judgemental support that is tailored to your personal needs is worth every single penny. I have completely valued everything she has done for us and it is hard to pick out one thing. Her support was priceless & I’d pay it again and again’
‘Grace supported me beautifully & holistically throughout my pregnancy & postnatally too. A unique perspective she brings which the NHS doesn’t is the focus on adequate nutrition & hydration after the birth. Every single time Grace brought me something nutritious & hydrating to support my recovery. On the first day my baby was born Grace was there. She is invaluable.’
Here's the thing,
Societal conditioning is about birth being scary. Out of control. It just happens to us. But the very fact you're here looking for a doula tells me that you want different. You believe that birth can be different, not only different, but amazing. Incredible. Empowering. You want to step into parenthood feeling confident & know that every single decision you made was best for you & your baby. But how do you get there? Well, you're here aren't you! First step, tick! (Thank you for being here!)
Picture this:
- You go into labour knowing what your (amazing) body is about to do. You're calm & collected. You have your birth preferences, comfort measures & have all your negotiables/non negotiables ready
- You have an amazing birth team by your side & on your side. A continuity of care which doesn't exist anywhere else. You've chosen your people, educated yourself & have the belief that you are now fully empowered to do this!
- You birth your baby your way. You made decisions knowing they were fully informed, not scare mongered or coerced. You start parenthood feeling safe, strong & connected to your body & your baby.
Here's what I do:
- I educate you antenatally so that you have the knowledge to make evidence-based informed decisions & advocate for yourself & your baby
- I provide bespoke practical & emotional support during labour, offering gentle ideas & comfort measures to guide you through when you need it
- A continuity of care from pregnancy, to birth, to after your baby arrives. A familiar, professional, birth geek to guide you through this transition gently & reassuringly

What's it like to work with me?
Let's start with the fact that I am here for you. I am not bound by hospital trust policies or shifts. When I am on call, I am on shift for you. Where health care professionals change or time limitations are placed on them to provide you a service, I can be your constant. A reassuring, professional, female presence that understands birth, the maternity system, but not only that, how we can make your wants & needs known effectively & help you to achieve your birth your way.
I will never tell you what to do (that’s not my job, plus you've got enough of that from other people), but I will signpost you & enable you to find the answers & make the right decisions for you & your baby. Why? Because we are all unique, and so are our babies.
I love to work with couples during pregnancy early on, so that we can build a strong connection way ahead of the labour & birth. I work just as closely with your partner as I do you, so that they feel empowered to step into that position with confidence & assurance that I’m with them every step of the way. A positive birth experience looks different to everyone, the key is that it’s positive, informed & empowering to you.
