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. 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 or planned caesarean, breast or bottle — your choices are yours. I'm here to support them, fully.
As a Shiatsu master and Reiki master, I weave hands-on bodywork and holistic comfort into the practical, everyday support you need — caring for your body and your 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 days of new parenthood.
My path into this work began before I had children of my own. While training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shiatsu, I discovered doula work — attending births and falling in love with the quiet strength I witnessed in women. From the very start, I brought my knowledge of the body into my care. Later, becoming a mother of five myself — including twins, and birthing both at home and in hospital — added a deeper, lived understanding of just how powerful and vulnerable this time can be.
My work is rooted in one belief: that your body holds its own wisdom, and you are far stronger than you know. Whether you are preparing for birth or finding your footing with a new baby, my role is to help you feel calm, informed, and truly held — so you come through this chapter feeling capable, connected, and proud of yourself.
I hold a special place in my heart for women carrying fear from a previous difficult birth. So much of my work is helping you gently release that fear beforehand — and, if it rises, being the steady, knowing presence beside you — so you can meet this birth feeling safe, supported, and healed.

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.
