Becoming a parent is one of the most incredible, mind-blowing and life-changing moments - a transitional phase that deserves respect. And yet, societally we are conditioned to think that we have to push ourselves to be active and present just days after giving birth. I passionately believe that we need to recognise the fourth trimester and prioritise the wellbeing of you and your baby through rest, good care and nutrition.
How I can help you
You've been surrounded by midwives and specialists during the pregnancy and birth and now you're at home with fewer people around and a baby that doesn't come with a manual. It can feel overwhelming! Whether it's your first or fourth baby, I can help ease you into your parenting journey as you navigate life with a newborn. I can support and nurture you and your family emotionally and practically, so you can rest, recover, enjoy your new baby and have the start to parenthood that you deserve.
About me
I gave birth to my two boys in 2015 and 2018 . Both times I felt disappointed by the lack of support that was offered to me postnatally. These experiences sparked my desire to give families the best possible start to parenthood. I strongly believe that personalised continuity of care can make a huge difference to the long-term physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of you and your family.
I live in Penge, in South East London, with my husband and two children. In my spare time I love spending time with family and friends, baking, adding to my obsessive collection of house plants, and cooking and eating good food.
I attended the Younique Postnatal Doula Preparation Course in in June 2022 and am now a recognised doula and a member of Doula UK.
