The wonder of pregnancy and birth is a special gift and I feel that all women who choose this journey should be celebrated and empowered to do it in their own, instinctive way.
A Doula offers emotional and practical support to the mother/couple/family during pregnancy, birth and after the little one has arrived. In the modern fast-paced world we become easily disconnected from our inner wisdom. Childbirth is a totally natural process and we have to learn to trust our bodies and the process. The womb is wise! I am passionate about encouraging women to explore and reconnect with their deep inner strength to make this an empowering and positive experience.
By choosing to have a Doula, you ensure continuity of care throughout your pregnancy, birth and beyond, provided by someone who only has your best interests at heart. A Doula is not medically trained and will not replace the important care you receive from your midwife and GP.
My twelve years of experience as yoga teacher and massage therapist bring a unique nurturing quality to my work. I have been working with families since I was 15 and I trained as Birth and Postnatal Doula with Nurturing Birth in 2008. I am a member of Doula UK & Nurturing Birth and continually do more training, most recently with Janet Balaskas of Active Birth.
