More about me

Hello I have been a doula since 2012, my first birth that I supported was a home birth and the second was a long induction, and I have supported all kind of birth since then including a free birth.

I have done a year long training with Breastfeeding London and really enjoy post natal work, and have worked with families for one session to support with something very specific, and once or twice with a family for a year long.

Massage, and energy work is something I bring to both my work as a birth and post natal doula.  I trained with Rocio Alcaron in Rohippng (otherwise kown as closing the bones).  

I am a doula companion with DD and I am one of the DD teaching team.

little bio:

I grew up in the north Buckinghamshire, the eldest of three siblings, who I’m still very close to.  My sister gave birth before I was a doula, but I got to doula my brother and his wife for my lovely nephew.  I didnt feel very clever when I was at school, I probably have adhd, and I struggled with feelings of inadequacy as a young person, but being  a leo  I hid that behind a big loud front.  My friends were all arty, and went to art college, and I did art history at Oxford Brookes, when I graduated I moved to London and had lots of temp jobs and went clubbing on the gay scene.  I fell in with a fun crowd and landed a job in tv commercial production.  I met Gaby my partner who I would go on to coparent with.  After my dad died of liver cancer, gaby and I moved to Southern Spain/Gibraltar because her mum had been diagnosed that same year with cancer, and she wanted to be close to her mum.  Her mum is still very much a live at time of writing, and is the cat with 9 lives for sure.  I got pregnant with our daughter in 2008 and that was a huge awakening into my purpose, and I realised that I really felt a deep calling to work with women, and birthing people to support them with this huge transition.  I trained as a massage practioner when my daughter was a baby, and then did the doula training in 2012.  Gaby and I split up, and we both moved back to London (*but separately)  we co-parent our daughter really amicably and have a great friendship.  I started training in Ignite Your Spirit therapy in 2015 and use this method of healing myself and with my clients.  I have run community meditation since 2015, both online and in person.  I run a group mentoring programme for birth professionals to support their personal growth, their business through an energetics and spiritual lens.  I started teaching with DD in 2020 which I love.  I offer specialist companion sessions if they feel drawn to explore something from a perspective of the soul and the energybody.
