More about me

Who am I ?

I am a proud mom of a 5 year old boy and my journey as a birth worker started just as I got pregnant with Lucca. I fell in love with the online HypnoBirthing course I took and as soon as I had my baby I wanted to let the world know that giving birth is the most magical and amazing experience anyone can have. So I trained as a HypnoBirthing practitioner. After supporting many families getting ready to labour and birth I felt it was time to take the next step and really be there for them with my presence, witnessing their courage, strength and the purest love.

Why doula?

For me, being a doula is much more than a job – it gives me a sense of purpose and meaning. Each family I meet teaches me something new, and I feel grateful for every experience.

Who do I Support?

I work with families of all kinds. My belief is that when families feel supported and empowered, this ripples out into society – creating a cycle of goodness that benefits everyone.

What You Can Expect From Me?

My role is to walk alongside you, offering a calm and reassuring presence. I will support you in the same way I would like to be supported myself. I will listen to your needs, respect your choices, and provide both emotional and practical support. My aim is for you to feel confident, safe, and truly empowered in your journey – always knowing you are heard and supported.
