ABOUT ME

I am a mother and live mostly at home with my husband, three wild children, two old dogs, and an absentee cat. We also have ponies, chickens and pigs! I have an inbuilt love, awe, and respect of nature, science and the way things work and interact both with and without intervention. I enjoy research and my primary fascination is the childbearing years. 

I earned a distinction on my massage course with City&Guilds in 2012. I followed this with CPD in pregnancy massage but quickly realised that it wasn't enough for me. I then completed my Doula training with the awesome and inspiring Kate Woods of Conscious Birthing in 2015 and fell in love with the role. Since then I have gone on to become a breastfeeding peer, first training with Nurture Project International, then also with FAB (Families and Babies). I support families privately and through local NHS funded support groups. I am IPHM accredited in traditional woven wrap use (including Rebozo) through True Bliss Holistics. I have also trained with School of Babywearing for baby wearing peer support and consultancy. I have set up and co-host a sling library and Sling Walk. I supply pre-loved or repurposed cloth nappy kits. I also regularly attend CPD workshops and events and am always keen to learn and share knowledge whenever time and expense allows.

I am truly passionate about supporting bodily autonomy and educated, informed decision making. I don't believe that maternity care can be formulated with a one-size fits all pathway. Each body, each baby, each circumstance is unique. My role is to support you in figuring out and travelling the path that is right for You.
