I live in Sutton, Surrey with 2 adult children and my husband. I am a retired primary school teacher with 25 years of experience in child development and supporting families. I trained with both Birth Bliss Academy and Happy Baby Community and I am a member of Doula UK.
Since then, I've supported many kinds of births, water births in birth centres, planned and emergency C Sections and both natural and medicalised births on the labour ward.
As a birth doula I will be there for you from start to finish, whatever your birth choices are. I will be the person who has your back and will help you find the answer to any questions you might have, I will encourage you to trust your instincts, stay relaxed - and keep that oxytocin flowing!
As a postnatal doula I will be there in the first few weeks to lighten your load emotionally and physically, whether it will be looking after your baby while you have some well earned rest, doing light housework, making lunch or whatever suits you, I'll be here to help you.
Friends and family say I am really easy to get on with, I am passionate about supporting women, particularly during this time when you need to feel empowered and in control.
I also love healthy cooking, watching rubbish on tv and the occasional yoga or pilates class.
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and liability insurance
