⛈️Birth doesn’t always go to plan.

🌪️It can be unpredictable, and no matter how much we prepare, we can’t control every turn it might take.

❄️But real preparation isn’t just about the plan.

☁️It’s about understanding the nuance. The grey areas.

🌈It’s about knowing how to make informed, grounded, aligned decisions as things unfold.

☔Your birth team should protect that.

⛅You should be centred as the decision-maker.

☀️Because yes, plans can change...
But your sense of ownership, your voice, and your pride in your birth? That should never be taken from you.

✨Advocacy✨

In an ideal world we wouldn't really need advocacy in birth. A woman's 'NO' would be respected first time, she'd be given all the information and plenty of time to decide what's right for her, and her sense of self would be respected and protected.

But sadly we don't live in an ideal world, and most people I speak to who have had a tough birth struggle with not feeling respected, listened to, and supported way more than the actual 'outcome' of the birth itself.

The magic happens when we feel centred in our experience, make decisions which align with our values and feel truly cared for.

Advocacy is a big deal for me. After well over a decade working as an NHS speech and language therapist, I am highly skilled at communicating within the health service, supporting complex decisions and gently guiding conversations to ensure the person I am caring for remains as the decision maker.

Birth requires a surrendering and letting go. We need to move away from the thinking brain and into the body.

Knowing you have strong and steady support with you, someone who will hold your space and your boundaries with care, respect and skill can enable you to switch off, let go and follow your birth into a different state of awareness ✨

🖱️Babes, I got a desk!

And now I'm a grown up.

It's reminded me how influential our environment is!
When we feel just ✨lovely✨ suddenly so much more is possible!!

I should probably go to bed instead of rambling at you all 🤣

Honouring the women in my lineage.
With flowers from the garden,
Of our home, where my great grandmother lived.

I wear my mum's mum's mum's engagement ring,
My mum's pendant,
And my mother in law's mum's amethyst ring,
she had the same birthday as me, and it's our birth stone!

I'm so grateful to be connected to where I came from,
The read thread and the ripples of motherhood.
I hope my daughter and her daughters
Will carry some of this strength, love and power forward ✨🫶

💐💖Happy Mother's Day💖💐
To the mothers experiencing love and joy,
And also to those of us who live with grief, heartache and loss.

It's a wild ride, and we were never meant to do it alone.

Thank you to the mothers who love and hold me through my motherhood,

And thank you to those who honour me by inviting me to love and hold you through yours 💖✨

If did clients... 🫶✨

I always find something to love about the families I work with, but made it so easy to fall in love!! 🎶😁

These words remind me why I do this. On the hard days when I wonder what the hell I was thinking, leaving my safe NHS career to be a doula, when most people don't even know what that is!? I come back to the impact I make for families.

I show up, I meet you where you are, I listen, I respect your unique needs and values, and I hold you through the most incredible time of transformation and vulnerability.

I'll never stop being grateful that I get to do this heart and soul led work 💖

If you are expecting your precious bundle and want to feel like this☝️ then just message me 💌

Pinching myself that I get to do this work as a doula.

Supporting families through vulnerability and transformation.

Offering grounding presence, unwaivering support, information and guidance but never judgement, never an agenda except you remaining in the centre of it all.

If you were made to feel like you had no control over your birth choices then I'm sorry, it wasn't your fault. Things can be different ✨💖

You can't trust everything you see online.
Birth education is a minefield, so it's important to get really choosy about where you find your information.

With me as your Doula, the idea isn't for me to 'teach' you everything, but I'm going to gently guide you to some incredible resources to help you soak up good quality, helpful and trustworthy wisdom through your pregnancy.

Some of my favourite podcasts are .untethered

✨YOUR BODY
✨YOUR INTUITION

🌊 Can anyone else feel the tide turning!?

🔥The women I've been speaking to today are on fire!
Not sleepwalking into birth trauma.
Not 'going with the flow and seeing what happens',
Not giving up their power and dignity the moment they walk through the door.

💪You badass babes are doing the WORK!!
Preparing for powerful, transformational births.
Starting motherhood in the best way you can.
On your OWN terms!

👋And that's where I come in,
Because what's important to you is important to me.
I'm not pushing any agenda, I'm meeting you wherever you are.
Learning about your values, your needs and preferences.
Bringing all the vibes, grounding presence, calm and confidence,
As well as skillful advocacy, and years of knowledge and experience navigating the maternity system.

I can't wait to have more juicy, deep, challenging, heart warming and eye opening conversations with you all 🫶
