I provide evidence based support with a focus on building trust in your own parenting journey.
I can help you both in person or online – get in touch to talk or read more about me below.
Why I do this work
I’m a mum to two boys, step-mum to three, adoptive mum to one. Together with my husband and two Labradors, we live near St Ives in Cambridgeshire. Our home is wonderfully chaotic – I get what real family life looks like.
My own parenting journey has taught me about patience, trusting children’s natural development and finding creative solutions.
Becoming a doula has informed the direction of my life. The families I’ve supported, the colleagues I work alongside, the transformations I’ve witnessed has been an honour. Supporting families with birth, sleep and parenting will always be at the heart of everything I do.
Professional development
Becoming a doula in 2012 changed my life. What began as a calling to support women in labour soon grew into a lifelong passion for nurturing families through every stage of the parenting journey.
Since then, I’ve supported hundreds of families through birth, the postnatal period and beyond, offering evidence-based guidance and gentle reassurance every step of the way.
I now also work as a doula course facilitator and doula companion for Developing Doulas.
