Every birth is unique, and how you birth your baby is up to you.  Sadly, our current birth society is pretty dysfunctional and can be an overwhelming place to navigate.  However, research has shown that support from a doula can reduce stress and anxiety, decrease pain perception and medical interventions at birth and improve breastfeeding initiation.  More information is available here.

I’m passionate about the importance of providing calm, caring, unconditional support which cuts out the noise, and allows you to concentrate on your birth experience with confidence and power.  My aim is for you to feel nurtured, safe and supported throughout this time.

As your doula, I will provide individualised practical and emotional support for you and your family at any point during your birth experience – antenatally, during labour and birth, and postnatally. First and foremost, I will listen, and hold space for you to explore and identify your preferences and needs. Additionally, I can make suggestions for planning and preparing for each stage of your progress.  I can share and signpost you to helpful, relevant, information, thus enabling you to make your own informed decisions.

I am not a medical professional, and it isn’t my role to offer advice, opinions or judgement, nor do I have an agenda to push.

Whilst my focus is primarily on the birthing person, I’m here to work with and support the whole family, in order for you to have the most positive birth experience you can.

It can be helpful to have a quick chat to talk through your initial thoughts and what you might find most beneficial, so please do get in touch…
