About Me
Kicki was born in Swedish Lapland, a place as magical as it sounds—think midnight sun and Northern Lights. It’s almost as if she was destined for a life that would touch upon the mystical journey of childbirth.
Career Milestones

- Author: She penned her first book, “The Secrets of Birth: What every woman should know about birth and motherhood,” which won the “2017 Janey Loves Platinum GOLD Award.” Her latest book focuses on supporting survivors of sexual abuse through pregnancy and childbirth.
- Educator: Kicki has trained over 1,000 aspiring doulas, not just in the UK but also in Australia and China. She’s studied with some of the most respected names in the field, like Sheila Kitzinger, Michel Odent and Dr. Jack Newman.
- Awards and Recognition: She was awarded “Doula of the Year” in 2009 by Pregnancy & Birth Magazine and Doula UK.
- Activism: Kicki created the hashtag #butnotmaternity and led a campaign that made a significant impact during the Covid pandemic, advocating for women and families.
