My Summary
About Me
I am a mum of 4 and grandma too. I am very experienced with newborns and all aspects of feeding and babycare, as well as being there to support new mums on their transition into motherhood. I also offer babysitting and care for older children.
My Experience
As a birth doula ensuring you feel supported and empowered during your birth experience is my priority. Every birth is different; I aim to help you feel safe, cared for and listened to, enabling you to relax. I can provide information, allowing you to make informed decisions that suit your needs, during your labour. This will help keep you calm and comfortable until that special moment when you meet your baby. Not forgetting that if your birth partner (if you have one) needs a helping hand, I’ll be there for them too.
How many emotions have you experienced as a new Mum, it can feel overwhelming, with everyone having an opinion on everything! I’ve been there so can offer guidance and practical assistance, addressing any concerns and be an extra pair of hands. There is a great focus on pregnancy and birth, but sometimes not so much on early motherhood. Being a mum, grandma and now doula, I can fill in the gaps and give you the all-important tips to make motherhood that bit easier.
I have been a doula for 7 years and have a wide ranging experience and qualifications.
I have a calm, professional and gentle approach. I am passionate about women giving other women the support they need and would feel honoured to assist your family at this most special time. I am non judgemental and will genuinely support and respect the choices you make. This is your time!
I can provide support to you during your birth and with your new baby that will benefit both you and the whole family.

I am an accredited doula and doula trainer with Doula UK. I have a First Aid qualification, am a trainer for Starting Solids, I have a UNICEF breastfeeding course qualification and other skills through my doula work and training, such as biomechanics, oils in pregnancy and rebozo use.
