About Me

My hope for you and your family is a gentle, positive and empowering birth experience where you feel safe, supported and heard. I will support and respect your birth choices whilst maintaining a calm  and positive presence. As your Doula, I will advocate you and give you reassurance throughout the pregnancy, labour and birth. A positive and well supported birth sets you up for a smooth transition to motherhood and family life. I support all kind of births from elective caesarean or early epidural to home water birth. So far I have supported women (with or without a birthing partner) in Chelsea and Westminster, The Kensington Wing,  King’s College, Kingston, Queen’s Charlotte and Chelsea, Portland, Royal Free, St. George’s, St. Thomas’, St. Mary’s, Whipps Cross and The Whittington hospitals but I look forward to getting familiar with other London hospitals. Postnatal Doula service: The early days with a newborn baby can be so beautiful, magical and very special but also both overwhelming and exhausting. I also realised that having a new baby can be challenging and even lonely when your partner has a full time job and your family lives far away. This is when postnatal Doulas are very welcome. I will support you in your home, bringing reassurance whilst you find your feet, supporting your choices and enabling you to get some much needed rest. Every family’s requirements are different and I always tailor according your needs. I have a soft spot for twins. I really enjoy supporting families with multiples. I have over 5 years experience of supporting many parents with newborn twins (during the day and overnight). More about me: I’m 45, from peaceful Finland, married and we have a seven year old daughter and are based in Wandsworth, SW London. I’m a professionally qualified youth worker and have worked as a nanny for over three years. When not working as Doula, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I’m very active and love going running and for long walks. Yoga and spinning classes also always make me happy. My friends and collegues say that I have a calm, kind, open-minded and non-judgemental attitude towards people and for life generally.
