Hi, I’m an antenatal and postnatal doula in Cheshire West & Chester. I am also happy to be contacted for last minute birth enquires.

I have personal experience with hypnobirthing, pregnancy yoga, baby wearing and baby massage.

I was pregnant in 2019/2020. My birth plan was to have a home-birth in a pool with my husband and sister by my side. Simple, and it was going to be beautiful, calm and relaxed.

Then Covid-19 happened!

It seemed like every day another part of the plan disintegrated! Most upsetting was that I couldn’t have my sister with me.

My husband and I lost our back-up. She was our trusted person.

It wasn’t until after giving birth that I first heard the term ‘doula’ – and then it hit me. Without any of us knowing it, my sister was my doula! It’s a role that can be traced back to Ancient Greek times! Someone knowledgeable to support you physically and emotionally without being medical.

Having missed on this vital support, I was so keen to fulfil this role for other pregnant people and their families that I left my full-time job in order to give myself the time and space needed to commit to this vocation.

I know first hand the difference it would have made to my journey into motherhood, especially during those first weeks. I cannot wait to be part of this journey with you!
