When I support a family, I don’t just show up on the day of birth. 🌸

I absorb myself in your journey. I take the time to know you; your hopes, your worries, your story so far. I walk alongside you through pregnancy, gently holding space for your decisions, your questions, your growth.

When we meet, I always bring a little something homemade from my kitchen. 🍪 Because nurturing isn’t just about birth, it’s about making you feel cared for, seen, and held from the very beginning.

By the time your baby is ready to arrive, I already know what matters to you. I know the birth environment you want to create. I know the little details that bring you comfort. And I’ll be there, woven into your support network so you can lean back and feel held.

Because you deserve to feel truly seen and supported as you become parents. 🌿💜

I’ve quietly launched a blog on my website and it’s starting to take shape! There are already three posts up, including my own VBA3C birth story, and this latest one is fresh off the press.

If you’re into birth stories, informed choices, or just want a peek behind the scenes of my work, I’d love for you to have a read. Let me know what resonates!

Yes, you can legally decline a sweep, induction, or caesarean in the UK. Learn your NHS maternity rights, how to say no with confidence, and how to plan a VBAC with support in Cambridge.

🌿 Introducing “Your Journey, Your Way” – A Pregnancy Circle Series 🌿

Pregnancy is a big chapter - physically, emotionally, and mentally. But so often, there’s no space to pause, reflect, or really connect with others who are going through it too.

That’s where this comes in.

Your Journey, Your Way is a gentle, supportive six-week group for pregnant women to gather, share (if they want to), and build confidence as they prepare for birth, whatever kind of birth that may be.

💬 We’ll talk about things like:
– What’s surprised you about pregnancy
– How to listen to your body (and your instincts)
– What you really want from your birth experience
– How to handle worries and make space for calm
– Connecting with baby in a way that feels right for you
– Building your own version of support

There’s no pressure to have all the answers or be a certain “type” of mum. This is for you if you just want real connection, a warm space, and maybe a cuppa while you’re at it.

🗓 Starts: 5th September
📍 Papworth Printworks
💷 £50 (weekly payment is available)
👥 Spaces are limited to keep the group cosy

✨ Message me here or email moonstonerosebirth@hotmail.com
to book your spot or ask anything at all.

You’re welcome, just as you are. 💛

🌿✨ Reintroducing Myself ✨🌿
Hi everyone! Whether you’re new here or have been around for a while, I thought it was time to reintroduce myself 💛

I’m Shannon, a birth worker, doula, and passionate advocate for informed, empowered motherhood. I’m based in Cambridgeshire and support families both in person and online through the incredible journey of pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

✨ I’m especially passionate about:
💫 Supporting women planning a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean)
💫 Helping you find your voice in maternity appointments and make informed decisions
💫 Creating physiological birth space within the NHS system, even when the system isn’t always supportive
💫 Providing emotional support for extended breastfeeding journeys

🌸 What I offer:
🤰 Private antenatal education sessions (sliding scale available)
📖 My digital mini-guide “Your Power, Your Birth”, FREE for those planning a VBAC
🗣 “Birth Conversations That Change Things”, a paid workbook for navigating appointments with clarity and confidence
🌿 Emotional support and solidarity through every step, especially if you feel like the “difficult one” in the system for asking questions or saying no

💛 I offer in-person support to families within an hour of Huntingdonshire, including Cambridge, Peterborough, Bedford, Northampton and surrounding areas. Online options are always available too.

I’m also a homeschooling, semi-crunchy mum who loves slow living, baking from scratch, and living with intention and I bring that same grounded, wholehearted energy into every birth space I hold 💫

Whether you’re dreaming of a redemptive birth, navigating complex maternity care, or simply wanting to feel seen and heard, I’m here for you.

✨ Let’s walk this journey together.

Curious about what a Doula really does?

Join us at The Purple Spell on Saturday 19th July between 2–4pm as we welcome a practicing Doula into our shop for an open, informal Q&A session.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who is:

🏡✨ Home birth magic in her own words ✨🏡
There’s something incredibly powerful about giving birth in your own space, surrounded by love, trust, and calm.

Swipe through to read a beautiful testimonial from a recent client who welcomed her baby at home, supported every step of the way. 💛

It’s an honour to witness the strength and softness that unfold when women are trusted to birth their way.

If you’re planning a home birth (or just curious!), I’m here to support you with grounded care, evidence-based information, and a calm presence.

The Summer Solstice is nearly here; the longest day, the peak of the light.

In so many traditions, the solstice is a time to pause, honour what’s grown, and gently release what’s no longer needed as we move into the second half of the year.

In pregnancy, this mirrors something deep: the in-between space where you are still yourself, and already becoming someone new.

Maybe you’re…
🌼 Preparing for your first birth with both excitement and fear
🌿 Processing a previous experience and rewriting your story
🌕 Getting ready to meet your baby under the full bloom of summer

Whatever phase you’re in, this is a powerful time to check in with yourself.

✨ What are you letting go of this solstice season?
✨ What are you growing into?

Let me know in the comments, or simply pause to hold that reflection close.

If you’re navigating big shifts around birth; planning, processing, or preparing, you’re not meant to do it alone.

I offer calm, 1:1 support through antenatal sessions and birth doula care.
Always led by you, held by me.

Reach out if you’d like to chat, or explore more at Moonstone Rose Birth. 🌸

Things people don’t talk about enough when it comes to birth:

✨ The moment your birth plan starts to shift, and you’re not sure how to speak up.
✨ How vulnerable you can feel, even when surrounded by professionals.
✨ The weight of a previous birth experience, sitting quietly in your chest.
✨ That you can love your baby deeply and still need to grieve the birth you didn’t get.

Supporting people through these quiet, tender moments is a huge part of my work as a doula.

What would you add to this list?
