About Me
I am a mother of 2 young children based in Hanworth. I believe that a positive birth experience can look very different for each woman and that being supported, listened to and having access to the right information to make your own informed choices about your care are what makes an experience positive.
As your doula I can support you both physically and emotionally throughout pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period. I can support you in working together with your care providers by helping you to find the information you need to make informed choices. I work closely with you throughout to insure that you have continuous support from someone that fully understands your plans and expectations, as well as your fears and concerns.
I also offered shared care packages with my Doula colleagues at Doulas of Kew. This means having the support of both doulas antenatally and postnatally, with the extra guarantee that you will have someone you know with you on the day. Please ask me for more information about how this works for you!
I facilitate the Positive Birth Movement for Chiswick and Hammersmith ( https://m.facebook.com/groups/1488011174838671) and am the Doula UK Representative for West London.
Please do get in touch if you have any questions or to arrange a chat!
