Holistic birth support tailored to your needs
I am a certified birth doula offering wholehearted care during pregnancy, labour and postpartum.
Practical support looking at mind, body and soul in preparation for birth and becoming a mother.
My work is rooted in old wisdom, brought forward to the now to meet the needs of birth as it is today.
This is your birth story: your pregnancy, your labour, your becoming as a mother.
I am a certified doula with a deeply holistic practice. I hold space for birth to return to the sacred rite of passage it is meant to be. With a doula by your side you can feel confident; more informed, connected and empowered.
What is a doula and why do I need one?
A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to their client before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible” DONA International. A holistic doula is someone who supports in a way that cares for your whole self—body, mind, and spirit. I combine practical birth support (like comfort measures, positions, and information) with gentle, natural tools such as breathwork, massage, herbs and mindfulness to help you feel grounded and empowered. It’s all about creating a calm, connected, and meaningful birth experience that honours your unique journey.
My support is unique to every woman, but a few things remain constant;
Every birth benefits from continuous, practical, safe, non-judgemental support.
The rest is woven magic; together, we weave ceremony and ritual into modern life, creating moments where birth opens within a sacred circle of care.
Your ancestors whisper wisdom in the wind and we listen.

With a holistic, certified doula to support you…any birth, in any setting can be met with presence and empowerment.
For centuries, women birthed at home supported by their community. Women quietly, calmly tended the hearth by candlelight. They knew birth couldn’t be rushed or forced into being. Today, a holistic doula weaves old ways and new; returning birth to its innate place of intuitive, feminine power. With an emanently practical toolkit of natural pain relief techniques (massage, counter pressure and acupressure) physiological knowledge , medical pain relief and more. they offers the tangible support and skills you need to prepare for birth and motherhood. Whether you want to birth at home, in water or at the hospital, the continuous care of a doula throughout pregnancy, labour and postpartum has proven more positive birth experiences and outcomes. Step into Motherhood remembering who you are. feeling ready for who you are about to become.
When you meet the right doula, you and your birth team - whether partner, friend or family will walk (or waddle) into birth feeling confident, calm and aligned; ready, no matter the twist or turn labour takes. Doulas have the honour of knowing you more deeply than a medical professional might have the time to. Several heartfelt sessions together attune a doula to your needs; how you experience comfort and discomfort, the subtle signs to look for when you need help or reassurance, whether you need physical touch, laughter, silence or space in any given moment. She is part of the support system you turn to when you are overwhelmed by the sensations of birth. She knows labours expressions in mind, body and soul, helping you to ride each wave. A holistic doula walks the seen and unseen with you, sharing, listening and preparing for the physiological stages of labour, as well as the deeper side; the emotional, the spiritual, the past, the fears, the traumas, the wishes, the letting go, the surrender.
Today, our wise birth experts are often cherished midwives and valued doctors. And the safety and familiarity of home birth has been deferred to a hospital setting by default. Sometimes in a medical setting, birth can feels like a foreign, frightening concept; often interfered with, induced or unnecessarily traumatised by arbitrary standards and timings. Something birth was never meant to be. We are not here to hold fear around birth, we are here to reclaim this rite of passage; holding it with love, knowledge and deep understanding. Doulas support women and families while honouring their background, birth wishes and medical needs.
