My role is to support you having the best birth possible for you, your birth partner and your baby

I am a highly experienced doula and have supported families across London for the past eight years.

During pregnancy, I will meet with you and your birth partner, get to know each other and find out your hopes and wishes for your labour. We'll create a birth plan, and if necessary, we can debrief any previous birth experiences, removing any emotional blockages that may otherwise affect your labour. I also practice active birth and biomechanic positions and breathing techniques with you in your home.

As a doula, I am fiercely protective of the people who ask me to support them, and I am passionate about your birthrights. I will ensure you understand your options and choices and that your voice will be heard above all else. I will advocate for you when necessary.  ​​

As well as providing emotional and physical support during your labour, I also aim to maintain a peaceful, relaxed environment and ensure your birth preferences are met. Most importantly, I remain calm if things don't go to plan and support you and your partner throughout the process. I don't take over a partner's role but complement it.

I'll also visit you post-birth to debrief and to provide breastfeeding support if it is needed.

I am fully inclusive in my role as a doula and have supported all kinds of births and all kinds of families. I also support baby loss. I work predominantly in North London and East London. Most of my work is with Homerton Hospital, Whittington Hospital, and North Middlesex. I have also supported births at St Thomas's, Whipps Cross, UCLH and Royal London. I have been a doula for many home births, including five where I caught the baby as it arrived before the midwife did! 

Long story short, I consider my role to be supporting you to have the best birth possible for you, your birth partner and your baby.
