My journey began after the birth of my first child in 2009, I was supported by the most wonderful doula and my birth experience really laid important foundations for me as a mother. Since this time I have been supporting other families with their birth choices and since 2013 I have worked as an NCT Antenatal Teacher. I have worked as a Mentor and Trainer for other Doulas since 2016.

As a Birth Doula, I offer sessions that are flexible and creative, tailored to your own needs. Typically my birth package involves several antenatal visits, attendance at the birth of your baby and at least one postnatal visit. 

As an experienced antenatal teacher, I offer bespoke antenatal visits for birth preparation, these are informal and relaxed and can take place anywhere - in your own home, via Zoom or somewhere else if it's easier. They can include (put are not limited to) writing of birth plans, birth debrief, biomechanics, antenatal education and birth preparation/ birth art. These sessions are an opportunity for us to get to know one another and develop good relationship before the birth of your baby. My role is to provide you with the information to enable you to make informed decisions about your birth. I have experience of working with healthcare professionals and can attend appointments with you if necessary. 

In my spare time I enjoy running long distances and map reading in the fells.
