Giving birth is an important rite of passage in your journey into (or deeper into) Motherhood; you deserve to feel seen, understood and nurtured during your pregnancy and as you prepare to birth your baby. My role as a doula is to help you access your own strength and powers, so that you are able to birth on YOUR terms and in your own way.
Being a Doula and Hypnobirthing specialist is my soul's calling - and I feel so grateful & humbled to been serving women & their families across the North East & Northumberland for the past 7 years. I cover areas from Newcastle, up through North Tyneside, Whitley Bay, Blyth, Northumberland and up into the Scottish Borders and beyond.
I've had the honour of learning from some of the worlds leading wise women in the birth world, and have found myself following my passion for helping to facilitate and encourage birth to flow with ease using lost ancestral methods and knowledge.
Personally, have also had two incredibly positive and empowering natural births of my own; one a 'high risk' hospital birth with our son Monty & a beautiful free birth with our 3 year old daughter Primrose.
In my 'spare time' I'm also the head of the North East Home Birth Network, which boasts a diverse community of over 600 members. We meet every first Friday of the month at Baltic, Gateshead - join the Facebook group to find out more!
When I'm not supporting families across the North East, or chasing my two delightfully feral children around our family farm in Northumberland, you can generally find me baking and cooking at the AGA, reading a good book (well, when I say good think Bridgerton/ trashy romance).
I'm currently working on my upcoming book 'Ancient Wisdom/ Modern Birth' - a look back through at the history of birth, exploring lost knowledge, traditions, remedies and recipes and musing on how we can bring those into the modern landscape of birth.
