I completed the Paramana Doula course in 2012. This course was created and delivered by Michel Odent and Lilliana Lammers, both of whom are influential and inspirational pioneers in the birthing world and the doula movement. I have experience supporting families in both home based  and hospital settings and am available for birth work and postnatal work. My aim is to be a ''Protector'' of the Mother and the birth space, along with being a support person for both the Mother and her partner during pregnancy, birth and beyond. Let me guide you through your journey and ensure that you  feel empowered to make the decisions that best support you and your family. These decisions are yours and yours alone. I will offer you the utmost guidance and counselling that I can, and whatever decisions you make, you can be assured that I will be there to facilitate with nurturing care and no judgement. I am passionate about breastfeeding and have been involved in breastfeeding support for over 15 years. I am a fully accredited breast feeding counsellor and recognise that birth can have a direct impact on the initiation of the Mother and baby's breastfeeding journey. I am also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
