Birth Doula Support

Pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period are profound times of transition. My role as a birth doula is to offer steady, compassionate support that honours the whole experience — physical, emotional and psychological — and to help you feel informed, listened to and supported as you navigate it in your own way.

My approach is holistic and relational. I work alongside you and your family, taking time to understand your hopes, concerns and values, and offering care that is tailored to your individual needs. I believe deeply that each family’s journey is unique, and my work is guided by you — I do not bring an agenda or seek to direct your choices. Instead, I aim to facilitate your experience, helping you to feel resourced, confident and supported in the decisions you make.

Prenatal

During pregnancy, we can meet for prenatal sessions that are shaped around what feels most helpful for you. These sessions may include space to explore your thoughts and feelings around birth, practical preparation, emotional support, and discussing options so you feel informed and empowered. For some, this looks like birth preparation and planning; for others, it may simply be a place to slow down, be heard, and build trust in themselves and the process ahead.

Birth

I offer continuous birth support in any setting — whether you are planning a home birth, birth centre birth or hospital birth. I remain present throughout labour, offering calm, grounded support, reassurance and practical comfort measures, while also supporting partners in their role. I work respectfully alongside midwives and medical staff, helping to maintain a sense of continuity and emotional safety during what can be an intense and vulnerable time.

Postnatal

The postnatal period is a crucial time for support and holding, and is often overlooked. After your baby arrives, I offer postnatal sessions to support you as you settle into early parenthood. This time can be used to gently reflect on your birth experience, offer emotional support, and will usually involve warming meals and healing hands. These sessions are shaped around your needs and can evolve as things unfold.

At the heart of my doula work is a belief in women’s innate wisdom and capacity. I see birth as a powerful rite of passage, and I am honoured to walk alongside families during this time, offering presence, care and support rooted in deep listening and respect.
