Personal Introduction:
I’m Suzie and I am a mother to Casper and Felix, and wife to Tom. I am very lucky to have many things that bring joy to my life, but my passion lies in fertility, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This devotion led me to developing my work and to practice as a doula, and I am currently offering services in the Swindon, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Berkshire and surrounding areas.
I trained as a birth doula with Nurturing Birth. I’m here to support you and your family through this beautiful and special time. I believe in your power as a birthing person to confidently give birth to your baby, and I deeply care for parents-to-be and new parents. You might be feeling a little overwhelmed, have lots of questions, or be super excited about what’s to come – I’ll be here to navigate all that with you!
I see my role as that of service and support to pregnant and birthing people, and their families. I do this by providing care, a listening ear, sharing knowledge and information and an open, non-judgemental mind and heart, as you prepare for giving birth, and as you get to know your new baby. I also know that no two people are the same and neither are their births – and this is a good thing! We will make this journey your own.
I look forward to meeting you and being by your side during your pre-conception, pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.

Suzie came and supported me and my newborn a few days after he arrived. My husband works very long hours and had to return to work really quickly so wasn’t able to support as much as we would have liked. It was so lovely to have Suzie there to advise and support me in those first days particularly as I was having issues with breast feeding. Her positivity, warmth and wonderful energy was so comforting and reassuring. I have an older child too who had just started school so having Suzie there enabled me to do the school run and just spend a bit of time with him whilst Suzie tended to the baby which really helped too. When Suzie left I felt more confident and ready to deal with the new addition and our new family dynamic. She is so caring, understanding and non judgemental it really felt that my load was lightened and gave me and my family the opportunity to adjust during a beautiful but challenging time. I continued to use Suzie’s support for a few weeks after which was not only helpful due to her knowledge and experience but made me feel a little less isolated and overwhelmed. Clare K
I had a traumatic birth with my first child resulting in an emergency c-section. I am neurodivergent and have quite debilitating anxiety and my husband and I were young and naive when we had our first so it was a lot for us. When we decided to get pregnant with my second, my husband expressed that he was not strong enough to be at the birth again. I needed a birth partner and I needed someone who I felt safe with. Suzie was the first person I thought of. I had known her for a number of years before I asked her and have always seen her as safe person and her home as a safe place (I don't have many of those!). She is inately calm and, I believe, born with maternal instincts that have just evolved as she has had her own family and grown her business.
I had an elective cesarean so my second birth was unlikely to have been as difficult. However, I was still extremely anxious about things not going well or not being able to speak up for myself. Having Suzie there meant I could relax as I was confident if anything happened she understood my needs and would have helped me through anything scary. As it turned out, everything went well and was very straightforward. I would recommend Suzie to anyone who needs support during their pregnancy/birth/post partum and I'm so glad she was there for me when I needed her". Katie and Peter R

Every concern and worry I had during this time was easily worked through. Leaving me feeling confidently at ease.
