Mentored Birth Doula & Mentored Postnatal Doula

Based in Dukinfield, I will be providing birth and postnatal support across Tameside. I qualified as a doula in June 2024 and have provided support to women from numerous backgrounds, many with various additional care needs, throughout the past few years.

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by all things pregnancy and birth! In 2021 I began my midwifery degree and spent 3 years working in one of the busiest maternity hospitals in the North West. As I am no longer in the midwifery profession, I did not want my passion to end there so I decided to qualify as a doula! In June 2024 I completed my course with the Doula Training Foundation, which is a Doula UK accredited course.

I have found that my knowledge from working within many specialisms has made my love for birth even stronger. I am devoted to making every woman's experience in the maternity setting as positive as possible, however you decide to birth!

When working within the NHS, I noticed that due to how busy healthcare workers are, there is a massive gap in the emotional support that women are entitled to. As a doula, I want to fill that gap, ensuring that you are empowered, well informed and feel confident in your choices.

No one can guarantee a perfect birthing experience or a smooth journey into becoming a mother but it is my job to ensure you feel supported and listened to. I will tailor all my support to your own needs as there is a no-size-fits-all!

At your birth, I can be as hands on as you want me to be. I can be there to help your partner to support you or if you don't have a birth partner I can take that place. However, I will never be providing any clinical care as I am not a medical professional - I am purely there to support you, empower you and ensure your preferences are followed.

During my midwifery degree, I regularly undertook UNICEF baby-friendly training and have lots of experience in supporting breastfeeding so I am well equipped to prepare you for breastfeeding during pregnancy and I can also provide breastfeeding support postnatally as part of your care. I am also experienced in other forms of feeding and will support you with whatever you choose to do.
