Hey, congratulations on your pregnancy and your choice to seek the support of a Doula on your amazing journey and thank you so much for reading my profile!

My passion is to provide pregnant and new families with nurturing support on their amazing journey into parenthood. My aim to to ensure you have good quality information to help you make the choices that are right for you and your baby. 

Doula's can help you prepare for birth and what to expect from your care provider and to realise 'its your body, your baby and your choice'! But also to have the confidence that you are the expert on your body and to lean into your intuition as to what YOU think and feel as your guide. 

I bring a wealth of experience working with families of all diverse types, with their unique challenges to my role as a Doula. With an awareness and experience of working with people who have suffered trauma in their lives, mental health, domestic abuse, substance use/addictions and care experienced. In addition I am practical and organised! 

I am a Mum, grandma and wife and have a furry friend called Ruby.

I live in Cheshire CH3 just outside Chester and cover South of Manchester, Cheshire and into Wales roughly one hour travel away. 

I trained with Conscious Birthing and completed both their birth and post-natal Doula programme. This gave me the opportunity to reconnect with my deep passion and desire around birth.

I will draw on my life experience, training, and resources to build your trust in me. I will walk alongside you with no judgement of the choices and decisions you make – you and your wishes are at the centre of how we will work together. 

I will support and empower you to follow your instincts and intuition so that you may have a positive birth story. I am happy to support any kind of couple/family or single parent/Queer/surrogate/adopters wanting to lactate. 

I am keen and enthusiastic about nutrition, use of herbs and aromatherapy to assist and heal the body during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I will prepare Sitz baths with healing herbs for your tender spots post birth! 

Pre-birth sessions will include talking all things BIRTH. Your dreams and ideals and any fears. Your options, Rights in birth, comfort measures, birth preferences to develop a birth plan. I will be ‘on call’ and available for you for 10 days around your guess date and I will support you in early labour and be present at your birth. 

I am passionate about the ‘Forth Trimester’ to care and nurture the mother/birthing person to rest and recuperate and bond with your baby. This tradition is practiced in many cultures around the world but sadly not so much in the UK.   The post-partum period is often overlooked but this is a time when lots of new parents struggle the most. As part of my Birth Package I will visit you twice post birth (preferably the next day) to support with any difficulties you may have. 

I can provide practical support in the home and if needed I can provide overnight care for your baby in your home to enable you to rest and recuperate. I can support with infant feeding whatever your choice is.
