Feel confident on your birth journey
Taking control of your birth experience means making decisions that align with your values and desires, not simply going along with the flow of modern maternity care. If you look at local and national maternity statistics, you’ll see high rates of inductions, a caesarean rate of around 50%, and water births happening for only about 5% of women. These are the facts — this is the current status quo of the maternity system. If you’re hoping for a different birth, you will need to approach it differently.
This is where I come in as your doula. I help you navigate your journey by balancing evidence, research, and most importantly, listening to you and your preferences. I’ll assist you in making choices that align with what you truly want for your birth - be it a home water birth or a planned caesarean.
With me by your side, you’ll receive tailored, continuous support. The NHS is unable to provide the continuity of care you deserve, but a doula offers that steady presence from start to finish. I’ll be there with you, offering calm, reassurance, and reliable guidance. My main goal is to help you feel more confident, in control, and ready for whatever comes your way.

Passionate about physiological birth
In a medical maternity system, I believe in the innate power of our bodies and the strength of parental instincts.
I’m here to champion your choices and support a physiological birth if this is what you are hoping for.
If you are planning a different type of birth, you will still really benefit from understanding birth physiology and how to boost your natural oxytocin in any type of labour and birth.
