About me
We always remember how our children came into the world and as a birth doula I wish to give you the confidence to decide what is right for you and your family, supporting you, emotionally and practically, to have a beautiful, empowered and positive birth experience. The arrival of a new baby is a time filled with so many emotions, from excitement and joy to worry and fear. The early weeks with your newborn are undoubtedly magical, but they can also be challenging and overwhelming. Your body has gone through an enormous change, and your hormones will be shifting as well, the dynamics of home life shift and new skills are learnt by all the family. As your birth doula, my role is to offer you and your family the necessary support for a positive birthing experience. I will give you the much-needed continuity of care, access to accurate information and to be a guide along your pregnancy and birthing journey. You can engage my support at any point in your pregnancy.
