“Empowering, guiding and supporting you in your sacred journey through birth & beyond”
The births of my two children were life-changing moments for me, but both very different.
My first birth with Teddy came with a lot of intervention, my voice not always being heard and decisions being made on my behalf. Following Teddy’s birth I started to have a huge interest in birth choices, support and services available during pregnancy and beyond.
Our youngest son, George was born in April 2020, in the height of the pandemic. My choice of a home birth was suspended and I had to rethink a lot of my options whilst navigating an ever changing maternity system. I was blessed with a physiological water birth in the birthing centre, it was my ‘home from home birth’. It was a time of great uncertainty, families having little to no support and new mothers having no one to sit and share a cup of something hot with and feel heard. This time in our life stays with us forever and shapes who we are as mothers.
Following the birth of George, the postpartum period and the life changing experiences our family went through that made me realise I had to become a doula. I trained went on to train with Developing Doulas in 2021.
Birthing during the pandemic also showed me the importance of continuity of care, to have someone who knows you, cares for you and wants to uphold your wishes. This is what I can to give to you!
I am truly passionate about the fourth trimester and its importance. Honouring and celebrating you as a new parent through nourishment, holistic care and doing what I can to make the transition to parenthood that little bit easier.
