✨ A Little Milestone Moment ✨

Today marks a really special chapter in my journey - after completing my last debrief with my mentor, Zara, I am now officially a recognised Postnatal Doula! 💫

This path has been full of learning, showing up, holding space, and pouring my heart into supporting families through some of their most tender and transformative moments. To now be recognised in this role feels incredibly meaningful.

A huge thank you to for her guidance, wisdom and for holding space for me - your mentorship has been such a grounding and empowering part of this process. And to everyone else who has encouraged me, believed in me, and reminded me of my “why” - I’m so grateful. 🫶

Here’s to the families I’ll support along the way, the gentle care I hope to offer, and the beautiful beginnings I get to witness. I’m so ready for this next step. 🤍

✨ Two weeks earthside for this snuggly babe ✨

Today’s postpartum visit felt so wholesome - a gentle check-in on mama’s heart, mind and body while dad had a few hours to log on and work. We spent time chatting through feeding rhythms, offering breastfeeding support, and talked about slowly introducing a bottle so dad can feel included in those precious feeding moments too.

It’s a privilege to walk beside families in these tender early days. Giving reassurance that you’re doing beautifully, even on the wobbly days. 🩵

✅ Admin morning kinda mood ✅

Updated my planner, sorted incomings + outgoings, and organised receipts (the fun never stops 😅). Felt good to start the day feeling on top of things! 🗓️🧾✍🏼

🌅 There’s something about a sunset that reminds me of birth - the slowing down, the surrender, the quiet strength it takes to let go and trust what comes next… 🌙

🌿 Sometimes the best reset is as simple as lacing up and stepping outside. Walking clears the mind, soothes the soul and helps me show up as a better human.

As you may know, this month I’m on a 100-mile challenge to raise money for and every step feels like a little victory. If you’re local and fancy joining me for a walk (fresh air + good chat included 😉) drop me a DM - I’d love the company! 🫶🏼

💫 Postpartum Visits 💫

Today I had the privilege of sitting with my clients for our very first postpartum session after their baby’s arrival this week. 💛

These visits are such a tender space - a time to debrief the birth story together, to honour the strength it took to bring new life into the world, and to hold space for every feeling that comes up.

A birth debrief gives space for parents to speak about their experience out loud - to honour the powerful moments, to name the hard ones, and to begin weaving together all the emotions of such an intense and transformative experience.

Postpartum isn’t just about physical recovery, it’s about processing the journey, being truly heard, and feeling supported as you step into this new chapter. 🌿

I feel so grateful to walk alongside families in these early days - witnessing their love, their resilience, and the beauty of this transition.

✨ Gentle reminder for new parents… ✨
You can’t pour from an empty cup. ☕️

In the early days of parenthood, it’s natural to focus all your time and energy on your baby. But your own rest, nourishment, and emotional wellbeing are just as important. When you’re supported, you’re better able to care for your little one.

As a doula, my role is to support you in this journey - to remind you that your wellbeing matters. Whether it’s rest, nourishment, emotional support, or simply having someone to listen, you deserve to be cared for as much as your baby.

Seeking help is not a sign of weakness - it’s a step toward balance, strength and joy in parenthood. 🌿

Every birth touches us differently - for all sorts of reasons. 🌿

Doulaing is heart work, deeply emotional and sacred. Often it’s not until after the birth that I finally exhale, releasing what I’ve been holding - for the birth couple and for myself. ✨

Today I’ve taken a moment to be gentle with me, to reflect, and to honour the space I was trusted to hold. Grateful always for the privilege of walking alongside families in these tender, powerful moments. 🩵

✨ Myth Monday ✨

I’m going to start sharing some common birth or pregnancy myths - and the truth behind it. 💡

There’s so much misinformation out there about pregnancy, labour and birth. My goal is to help you feel informed, confident and empowered as you navigate your journey. 🤍

🫧 The Newborn Bubble 🫧

That tender, sacred time after birth where your only “job” is to rest, heal, and bond.

It’s so easy to feel pressure to do it all - keep the house in order, entertain visitors, stay on top of everything.
But here’s the truth:
✨ You don’t need to achieve “all the things”
✨ Your worth is not measured in laundry piles or home-cooked meals
✨ Your healing and your baby are enough

If your only wins today are feeding your baby, resting your body, and accepting help - you are doing beautifully. 🤍

✨ Living the dream ✨

Right now my life is all about doing what I love most - supporting incredible families through their journeys and holding space where it’s needed most.

Every cuddle, every conversation, every moment of reassurance reminds me why I chose this path. Being a doula isn’t just a job, it’s a calling - and I feel so grateful to be making a difference for people who truly benefit from the support I provide. 💕

Here’s to the little moments that make the biggest impact 🌿
