Mentored Birth Doula & Mentored Postnatal Doula

Mentored Birth,Postnatal & Access Fund Doula -Cornwall-

Birth is a natural, powerful journey; one that unfolds best when you feel supported, safe, and deeply connected to your body. As a holistic doula, I offer gentle guidance and nurturing care to honor the physiological process of birth.
Whether you’re drawn to the calm of water birth or simply wish for compassionate support along the way, I am here to hold space for you and your family with trust, respect, and warmth.

Birth is sacred, powerful, and deeply personal. As a doula, I walk beside you with gentle guidance, evidence-based support, and deep trust in your body’s innate wisdom.

I believe birth unfolds best when it is nurtured as a natural, physiological process — one where you feel safe, respected, and empowered to move, breathe, and birth in your own rhythm.
Water birth can be a beautiful part of this journey, offering comfort, relaxation, and a soothing space to welcome your baby with ease and calm.

At the same time, I know that birth is beautifully unpredictable. 

Whether your path leads to an induction, a cesarean, or a VBAC, I am here to support you and your partner with steady presence, calm reassurance, and advocacy — so you feel held, informed, and empowered no matter how your story unfolds.

●Birth support:Every birth is unique. My role is to support you and your partner with:

Calm Presence – Reassurance and advocacy throughout your journey.

Holistic Care–Comfort measures, movement, breath,and relaxation techniques(&massages).

Water Birth Guidance –Creating a serene and safe environment for a gentle arrival.

Flexible Support-For inductions, cesareans, and VBACs, so you always feel informed and empowered.

Whether you dream of a serene water birth or simply want holistic, heart-centered support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I am here to hold space for you, your choices, and your family’s unique story.

●Postpartum Care & Nurturing Support-

The weeks after birth are a sacred time of rest, recovery, and bonding. As your postpartum doula, I hold space for you to be nourished, supported, and cared for so you can focus on what matters most — your healing and your baby.

●My offerings include:

• Breastfeeding Support:Gentle guidance and hands-off help to encourage a smooth start to feeding and confidence in your journey.

This is a time to be cared for as you care for your baby — and I am here to walk beside you with tenderness and respect.

I am ready to be at your side during your motherhood journey with all of me and support you and your patner in your birth's choice and postpartum plan whatever they are. 

I firmly bealive that pregnancy,birth and postpartum are sacred and women must be honored and supported,with all the respect deserved.

I consider a strong connection between mind,body and spirit.

I trust the ability to be ourselves,the architects of the birth of our children and our healing journey.

I truly trust the women i serve and their capability of give birth to their children and listen to their bodies.
