Birth Doula & Postnatal Doula

About Me

Side by Side Doula Services aims to provide a welcoming and inclusive service for ALL families

After the birth of my fourth child, my passion for supporting families through pregnancy and birth blossomed, leading me to become a doula. With extensive knowledge in pregnancy and birth, and a background in early years education, I've had the privilege of working as a nanny for over ten families.

My journey has also included volunteering with the NHS, where I provided invaluable support and companionship to breastfeeding and chestfeeding parents.

I take great joy in working with a diverse range of families, offering a variety of support techniques such as assistance with feeding, baby care, household needs, or simply being there to listen and encourage new parents.

I’m dedicated to helping you make informed choices throughout your pregnancy and birth journey. I provide antenatal education including hypnobirthing if desired, guidance through the first few weeks after birth, and full-spectrum support for all types of families, from pre-conception to six months post-birth, including compassionate care during pregnancy or baby loss.

In addition to my doula work, I serve as the Team Leader for Doula UK, one of the Directors, and a Birth Mentor. You can also find me hosting the Doula UK Podcast, available on your favourite podcast platform.
