Every path in my life has lead to becoming a doula. I have travelled, I have been a student, a support worker, an illustrator, a teacher, a wife, a mother and more besides. Each path has involved simply loving people.

Love is what I will bring to you when I support you. Walking through this part of your parenting journey with you, wrapping you in a warm blanket of care and nurture is an honour and a joy. I will truly listen to you; hearing your story, your fears, your desires, your wants and needs. Together we will find ways to validate and soothe fears and we will promote all the things that make you feel safe, nurtured and confident.

I will help you navigate the overwhelming mounds of parenting information by guiding you to balanced information and I will support you in your choices without judgement, holding your hand throughout. Through getting to know you I will be able to tailor my services to whatever your unique family needs. A doula is an emotional support, a calming presence, and a bringer of compassion, smiles and joy.

Practically I will bring my knowledge of labour, birth, hypnobirthing and biomechanics. I have a lending library, birthing pool, birthing balls and rebozos at my disposal.

I run Home Birth Norfolk group on Facebook and in real life.

A little bit about me:

• I live in in a little village in the Norfolk Broads with my amazing teenage sweetheart and three sons.
• I'm happiest with a scuba tank attached to me, drifting along the bottom of the ocean.
• I cannot cook. Seriously, my baking is actually dangerous.
• I swear… a lot (I’m working on this!).
• We are home educating our tiny humans.
• I also have a self indulgent small exotic botanical business selling bespoke terrariums.

I am committed to ensuring that my knowledge is as up to date as possible and that the scope of my skills is broad. I attend several courses and conferences every year in order to fulfil my geek quota. My training includes (not an extensive list!):
