I’m a champion of the wonder of human bodies! I am a shameless coffee snob (very easy to be in Bristol!) A feminist. Spiritual…without often having the words to explain it. I can’t understand people who can’t see other people as human beings. I’m a deep thinker (recovering over-thinker!) and will encourage you to think deeply about things too.
I’m a full-time birth worker – I’m fully committed to this work. It’s my both career and my passion to support as many women as I can uplevel their birth experience, and help you discover how perfect for this you are!
I also teach pregnancy (and post natal ) yoga classes, as well as Hypnobirthing. Pregnancy yoga was the thing that got me started on this path, it dropped a spark in me – it taught me how to listen to my body and respect its wisdom.
The more women I’ve worked with over the years, the clearer it’s become that person-centred care is what most people are really missing in their maternity care...and that spark grew in to a fire! And the fire has led me to offer my bespoke, wrap-around doula support. I’m here to offer you unconditional, non-judgmental support. I don’t work for anyone else, I’m not answerable to hospital policies or shifts. I’m here for YOU and you alone. I support you in whatever way you need.
I believe (know!) continuity of care will have such an impact in your birth and in yourself as a parent; YOUR well-being is the key. When you are well, your baby is well. The whole family unit is well. And the ripple of effect of this can have the power to change the whole world!
I also volunteer as a doula with Project MAMA, supporting refugees and asylum seekers through their birth journey. If you choose to work with me, you can know you are not only investing in your own birth but supporting some of the most marginalised people in our society also have the support they deserve too.
You’ll bring your own hopes, fears and experiences to your birth. I will help you find out what it is you want and need – there isn’t a right way to birth, just the right way for you. You deserve, and are capable of, a birth that makes your feel strong, capable and confident. You’ll feel seen, heard and respected, every step of the way. You’ll make the decisions right for you and your baby and know you are perfect for each other.
You can read about my offerings in more depth on my website - or book a connection call to discuss how my support can work for you.
