When preparing to birth you can feel like you need to pick a side…

Either you surrender entirely to clinical systems — where birth becomes a sequence of protocols, decisions made around you instead of with you, your body managed rather than listened to.

Or you step completely away from medical care — chasing empowerment, yet sometimes feeling exposed in moments where skilled support and intervention can be life-saving.

And if your birth didn’t go the way you hoped, you can feel like you made the wrong choice.

As your doula I help you to hold both, and find the nuance of choices that truly leaves you feeling safe to birth.

To understand your body’s physiology so you can work with it, not against it. To meet your intuition with clarity instead of fear. To soften your nervous system while strengthening your sense of choice and agency.

You don’t need fixing, you need to be supported.

Birth is wild, sacred and deeply human. 

Together we can create a birth experience that feels held, informed and conscious.

One that honours both your physiology and your humanity.

One that feels like yours.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Clients describe me as:
 “soft-spoken, deeply grounded, warm, intuitive, emotionally safe, and very well-informed.”

I offer:
 🌿 Home visits filled with comfort, reassurance and practical guidance
🌿 A balanced understanding of physiology and medical pathways
🌿 Support for partners — helping them feel confident, useful and connected
🌿 Birth planning sessions that go far beyond the basics
🌿 A steady presence through every twist and turn of your pregnancy
🌿 Strong advocacy and clear communication when you need it most

My goal is for you to feel held, supported, and never alone in your decisions.

Who I Support

I work with all families, but tend to be the right fit for people who:

💫 value calm, presence, emotional attunement and nervous-system safety

💫 want a low-intervention, physiological birth where possible

💫 feel anxious, overwhelmed, or carry previous trauma

💫 want personalised, 1:1, non-rushed care

💫 want someone who blends clinical insight with deep emotional support

💫 want to feel deeply seen and heard

If this sounds like you — we’re probably a great match.

A little bit about me…

Becoming a Mum rocked my world in the best way possible and has left me absolutely obsessed with all things pregnancy, birth and beyond. I live in Milton Keynes with my partner Matt and our two beautiful girls. 

When I was 25 I was lucky enough to live just down the road from the East London Buddhist Centre. I was initially drawn to the meditation classes but quickly progressed to becoming a Buddhist and this has been a big part of my life ever since. 

The female body has always fascinated me. Particularly the social and political impact of how women’s bodies are understood. I even wrote my university dissertation on titilation in 18th Century fiction and how it related to changing medical views of women’s bodies. 

In more recent years my interest in meditation and spirituality has also included practising Tantra. The principles of integrating sexual energy and unlocking our power through exploring Eros.

All these threads inform how I see and understand birth. A deeply spiritual, political, social event that deserves reflection and reclamation.
