“Motherhood isn’t a typical love story, motherhood is the raw unedited version, with all the out-takes, which is what makes it the most beautiful love story of all.”
Birth Doula Services
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 experience.
I offer a variety of packages, and can also either tailor these to your individual needs or create a bespoke package just for you. All packages include birth preparation sessions to prepare for your unique birth experience, in person attendance at your labour and birth, and postpartum visits to support you as you step into motherhood. I support you so you feel informed, confident and never alone- before, during and after birth, however birth unfolds.

You’ve just birthed your baby. You are in need of deep rest, healing, nourishment and patience. In a culture that asks for productivity and action, it can feel revolutionary to take radical rest. I am here to enable rest and care whether that’s in the first few days after giving birth, or months into motherhood. You are looking for care rooted in the five universal postpartum needs; contact with nature, presence of wise women, loving touch, nourishing food and extended rest period (Kimberly Johnson).
I offer 1-2-1 postnatal support; this might include holding space for emotions, gentle restorative yoga, nourishing food and enabling you to rest. I am led by you and your needs but always grounded in my desire to ease you gently into motherhood.
I offer the below packages. If you also want to book ad hoc Postnatal hours I offer blocks of 3 hours charged at £90.

Postnatal Doula Services
1-2-1 Coaching sessions to hold space for your experience of pregnancy, birth, postpartum and mothering.
You already have everything you need within you, sometimes it is about having the space to find it. Coaching is based on a beautiful paradigm- that all people are creative, resourceful and whole. I am passionate about holding space for you, listening deeply, offering insight and asking open questions for you to find your own path forward.
Through coaching, we work together to bring awareness to the internal self, not only looking at external behaviours but changing beliefs, narratives and stories you may have about yourself.
I offer coaching sessions primarily online but do also offer sessions whilst walking in nature or in your home.
Coaching sessions are charged at an hourly rate of £70 and booked in blocks of 6 sessions. If you want to discuss booking ad hoc sessions please do get in touch.
