Fancy joining my monthly newsletter?

I used to be a regular on the newsletter front but it's been a while since I have sent one out so I have decided to re-start my newsletter again!

If you fancy some birthy/postnatal news from the birth world, birth tips, recipes and some freebies why not join my newsletter!

I WILL PROMISE YOU that you will not be bombarded on a weekly/daily basis (it's just not my style) but I will send one monthly!

If you fancy joining pop me a DM (I am just in the process of setting a link up on my website again) and I'll pop you on the list.

I will be sending out this month my chocolate, date bark recipe, it's super easy and minimal washing up! 😋

I am a mother, wife, friend and doula...

I've been working across Nottingham supporting wonderful families for the last few years.

Barefaced Birth was born from a desire to offer honest, Informed and empowering birth support.

I support women and families to approach birth with confidence, clarity, and trust in their bodies.

No fear-mongering, no performance—just evidence-based support, emotional safety, and space for you to make informed choices, every step of the way.

Being someone's doula is about connection and trust to journey with them to meet their baby and creating and holding a safe space to do just that.

I am the kind of doula that will listen to you without judgement, cry with you so you don't feel alone and will invest in your and your pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey completely making sure you feel totally Informed and supported along the way.

If you think I could be your kind of doula let's chat and see how I can support you!

AND THAT'S A WRAP FOR 2025 🎄

Last week I supported my final birth of 2025 to such a wonderful couple ✨ What an incredible year it has been!

I will be taking a short break before I go back on call on 5th January 2026 to support my first birth of the New Year!

Thank you to everyone who has chosen me to support them on their journey, I feel truly honoured.

I am excited for 2026 and cannot wait to be supporting more wonderful families 🤎

I will also be bringing more offerings such as closing the bones ceremony ( it was out on pause as I was busy with lots of births this year!)

Wishing you a lovely lot a wonderful Christmas! 🎄✨

LOOK AT PLACENTA 👀

I think placentas are incredible!

REMEMBER THIS!

This is for those of you that are playing the waiting game ready for your little one to arrive, whether you're nearly at your due date, you've reached your due date or your past your due date.

Don't be afraid to take yourself away from that pressure, away from the questions of when will your baby arrive.

You are exactly where you need to be right now. Your body is preparing and getting ready, even if you can't feel or see any signs yet behind the scenes are powerful things happening.

Your baby isn't late, no baby is (due dates are not evidence based) and no matter what you do (exercise, dates,clary sage, reflexology etc) if you baby isn't ready to be born then these things won't kick start your labour!

If you want to do all those things because YOU want to and it makes YOU feel good, go for it and see as birth preparation.

One of my favourite podcasts is by Rachel Reed "Induction of Labour from the Baby's Perspective"

It focuses on all those important behind the scenes preparations that your baby and body are getting ready for labour.

I promise that your body is doing what it should be doing, trust it!

Last year's beautiful home birth ✨

I had the incredible honour of supporting this family to welcome their second baby, born at home in water!

"Kerry was cool and collected throughout every obstacle we faced ( which in the last 2 weeks was a few as I became "overdue") but equally always ready to advocate for me and my needs. She empowered me to listen to my gut and speak my truth throughout my pregnancy and really trust to my instincts. Armed with the facts and so much experience, we navigated every twist, and turn was so much more ease, thanks to Kerry's expertise and care"

Thank you for letting me support and be a part of your birth team! 🤎

Women are incredible!

Last week I supported the most incredibly strong and beautiful family to welcome their fourth little one into the world.

We navigated some unexpected challenges but it was an honour to be beside them and witness their incredible birth!

Birth is beautiful, birth is raw, birth is powerful 🤎

As I take a week off call I get ready for one more little one to arrive which will be the last birth of 2025 ✨
