My enthusiasm for everything related to birth was born with the conception of my first child. I have found the pre and postnatal period empowering, transformative and life changing. I knew then that I was hooked. 3 children later, I am excited to offer my support to you.
As a doula my main aim is to support you in discovery of your own inner wisdom, power and strength. I am present, I listen, I am excited for you, I believe in you and I offer my non-judgemental attitude. I 'hold the space' and protect you from distractions, so you can focus on your birthing and maternal instincts. I work from the awareness that birth is a normal physiological process and a profound, awareness altering experience. Saying that, I am also fully aware that pregnancy, birth and postnatal period can be wild, challenging, confusing and very lonely. I can be there to support and nourish you. My intention is to make this unique time peaceful and wholesome for your entire family.
With background in psychotherapy, I am deeply interested in people’s emotions. I know that our beliefs and experiences shape the way we birth and parent our children. I am available to discuss yours with you. I love working holistically, incorporating yoga, hypnobirthing, massage and biomechanics into my approach. I am interested in herbal medicine and have trained in Ayurveda. They both inform my work. I am passionate about nutrition; I am a keen cook and sourdough baker. I will be excited to walk alongside you in variety of settings. I offer support in hospital, birth centre and home. I am comfortable and have experience in free birth. I will offer my knowledge and guidance, however ultimately it's not what I know, but who I am that will make me the RIGHT doula for YOU. So do get in touch, so we can get to know one another.
My basic Birth Doula package is currently £1195 and Postnatal Doula services are £25/h.
