As a Postnatal doula, I provide practical, emotional, and physical support in those crucial, whirlwind days after birth, all tailored to you and your baby’s individual needs. I have worked with many families, and everybody’s needs are different!

Whether it’s taking care of baby while you have a shower/rest/me time, preparing nourishing meals, going for a walk together with the pram, hanging out the washing, practising baby wearing… whatever you need, I’m here for you.

Together we can explore what works best for you both in terms of feeding, sleeping, and soothing. I will be here to offer advice and support you as you get to know your new baby and help you to feel confident in trusting your own intuition.

Having lived in India it seemed natural to me to pursue the healing wisdom of Ayurveda. I love finding ways to integrate aspects of this rich tradition into my daily life, such as a quick self-abhyanga (oil massage) after a shower, or trying a new spice mix adapted to my personal constitution.

I am a huge advocate for nurturing new parents and my Ayurvedic postnatal packages are designed to do just that. I carefully integrate aspects of Ayurvedic remedies and traditional knowledge with the practicalities of a modern lifestyle to support you to restore your energy, help you find balance, and nurture your postnatal body and mind.

I had my first encounters with Ayurvedic healing during a trip to India in 2009; since then I have enriched my knowledge and understanding of it by learning from communities and cultures where healthcare is characterised by natural healing, nurturing, and community support. I also spent time in an Ayurvedic hospital, nurturing the 100+ varieties of medicinal plants grown on site, and learning to harness their properties under the guidance of medicine making women. I consolidated this learning by studying Ayurvedic Postnatal Care and Massage at the School of Ayurveda and Panchakarma in Kerala, India.

In my practice as a doula I combine this learning with my western medicinal training and experience to bring my clients the best of both worlds. I passionately believe that ancient knowledge and traditions of healing can fill the gaps left by modern western medicine, and offer huge benefits to people on their pregnancy and birth journeys.

When I’m not working you’ll find me in some of the gorgeous natural spaces that I’m lucky to live close to, playing fiddle in a local Irish music session, or exercising - I love yoga and climbing!
