Getting in touch
More about me
I believe in supporting you and your family with kindness, love, and empathy (and helpful information if wanted!). I will support you in making and protecting your individual birth and/or parental choices and ultimately navigating your own way through this challenging and special time of your life.
My passion is to be like your warm blanket on a cold day – there if or when you need to be surrounded, seen, comforted and to feel more ready, in control, confident, and to believe that you can absolutely do this.
About me.
I live in Morden, Surrey with my husband & two young children, Abby & Ellis. It is because of my own experience of fertility, birth, & breastfeeding that I find myself in the birth world after a 12+ year corporate career in property. I enjoy a busy day out as much as a cosy afternoon in, but love to be outside walking (chasing my kids) and Autumn is my favourite season for sure. My guilty pleasure is Grey’s Anatomy, I adore dark chocolate, & I wouldn’t be without an essential oil in my pocket.
Training/expertise:
- KG Hypnobirthing Diploma
- Mindful Birth Associate Teacher
- Developing Doulas Training
- Advanced Bio-mechanics of birth
- LGBTQ+ Competancy Training
- ABM (Breastfeeding) Trainee
- I have supported over 100 families antenatally in preparing for birth and parenthood
I am currently a Mentored Birth and Postnatal Doula which means I have done my initial Doula training and am now working towards full accreditation whilst being supported by an experienced Doula Mentor. My prices are currently reduced to reflect this. I’d love to chat and get to know you better. I offer a free intro phone call or cuppa meet-up to learn more about you, your dreams, wishes and any fears around birth/parenthood. It also gives you the chance to get a feel for me and if I’m the right fit for you and your family. Rachel xx
