“Birth is an opportunity to transcend. To rise above what we are accustomed to, reach deeper inside ourselves than we are familiar with, and to see not only what we are truly made of, but the strength we can access in and through birth.”
— Marcie Macari, Author

Birth Support

Someone in your corner, from pregnancy through birth and beyond.

You are embarking on the transformational journey of pregnancy and birth and are looking for continuity of care, emotional connection, respect and trust. The path to bringing new life into this world can sometimes be a bumpy one, and you would like someone beside you who will listen deeply, offer a grounding presence and hold space for your emotions. As your birth doula, I can offer you this.

My support can include:

  • Antenatal preparation and getting to know you and your hopes for birth

  • Creating a personalised birth preferences plan

  • Evidence-based information and signposting

  • Emotional reassurance and advocacy

  • Physical comfort and coping techniques during labour

  • Continuous support throughout labour and birth

  • Partner support and reassurance

  • Support when plans change or the unexpected happens

  • Early postpartum support and settling in at home

You don't have to know exactly what you need before we meet.

We'll work that out together.

I am based in Bath and cover areas in Wiltshire, Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Dorset up to 1 hour away.
