More about me
As a doula my role is to support practically, physically and emotionally through pregnancy, birth and into your 4th trimester, my approach is flexible and responsive to your needs.
This is very different for every family I work with but someone focused on the you and your experience can be beneficial; helping you to identify solutions that work for you, offering time and space to reflect on the joys and challenges of your situation. Since doing my doula training with Developing Doulas in 2017, I have added baby carrying support, holistic sleep coaching, 3 step rewind and postnatal mental health support, postnatal massage, baby massage, antenatal and postnatal educator to my skill set. I have also been a breastfeeding peer supporter for over 10 years. One of the advantages to having this range of skills is that I can offer new ways of looking at situations and offer strategies and tools for families to use. If you book with me as a doula, my other services are all available to you as part of the package. If you book a different service with me you have access to my skills and knowledge.
What I really love is working with families in all my different roles, seeing their confidence build as they get to know themselves as parents and develop their relationship with their baby.
Feel free to get in touch about how I can support you to have a positive birth and postnatal experience.
