About me
I live in South West London and have two children born 1999 and 2001 (let’s not talk about the slamming doors)!
When giving birth to my two, I had all the drugs first time round with my daughter, as it was a long labour and I admit I am a complete wuss when it comes to pain. I then had a natural birth with my son (too fast to get any drugs) and I am so pleased I did as it was such an amazing and mind-blowing experience . I feel both of my births were very positive experiences.
I have always been fascinated with all things pregnancy and birth, so when I heard about birth doulas, that was it for me and I have never looked back. I do feel incredibly privileged to be able to support Mothers (Fathers and birth partners) during this special time and my aim is to help you have the birth that feels right for you.
I trained with Nuturing Birth in 2012 and am registered with Nurturing Birth and Doula UK , I have also taken the Katharine Graves Hypnobirthing training course so I can support Mothers who have taken a Hypnobirthing course. For more details please do look under ‘My Experience’. I have trained with Biomechanics for birth so I understand the physiology of the pelvis and have techniques that can help before and during labour to ensure good positioning of baby.
Lastly, when not working, I do love a good movie, a good book, a good laugh and anything chocolate related!
