A gentle, holistic approach
Your journey through birth and the first weeks of postpartum should be a time of healing and quiet connection. My role is to listen first, hold space without judgement, and make sure you feel informed, respected, and genuinely cared for — in body and in heart.
Your body carries its own wisdom — in labour, and as you heal afterwards. I bring calm hands, gentle bodywork, and steady reassurance, helping you trust what your body already knows. Never pressure, never rushing.
Home or hospital, natural birth or planned caesarean, breastfeeding or bottle feeding — your choices are yours, in birth and in the weeks after. I'm here to support them, fully.
Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum weeks ask so much of a woman, physically and emotionally. I care for both — easing your body with comfort and rest, and gently tending to how you're feeling — so you feel cared for in body and heart.

Meet your doula
I'm a birth and postpartum doula, Shiatsu master, and Reiki master, with over 20 years of experience walking beside women through pregnancy, birth, and the tender early months.
Whether you're preparing for birth, healing from a birth that didn't go as you'd hoped, or finding your footing with a new baby, my role is to help you feel calm, informed, and truly held. I trust your instincts and work alongside you, never taking over, so you come through this season feeling rested, supported, and confident.
As a mother of five, including twins, I know this time from the inside, too.

Alongside my doula care, I offer Shiatsu — gentle, hands-on bodywork — as a standalone service. In pregnancy, it eases tension, calms the nervous system, and helps you feel more at home in your changing body. After birth, it supports your recovery and brings a moment of deep calm to a busy season. Book on its own, or as part of your doula care.

"The early days are precious — and they're hard. You shouldn't have to face them exhausted or unsure."
With calm, experienced support, you can soak in the moments that matter and trust that the rest is handled — gently, and with care for your whole family.
