A Sunbury Doula

19/09/2025

✨ It’s September, and we are so excited to have launched our weekly Thursday Baby Grove group yesterday! ✨

It was so lovely connecting with new mums. 💕 The Baby Grove is for mums, run by doulas — with extensive skills in lactation support, postnatal support, wellness and more. We’re mums ourselves, and we’ve walked the talk.

🤱 We hold a loving space to come together, ask questions, learn something new — a space to be held and heard. The door is open... 🌿 Book in, and turn up

💫 Wrapping up: Whilst mum was packing her things and putting her shoes on, little one was not too happy to wait in the buggy. With permission of course, I walked up, gently massaged those tiny feet to reassure her she was not on her own. Gentle strokes and a loving voice… and voilà — baby became calmer.

Never underestimate the power of touch. ☺️

✨ Stepping into a new chapter ✨

For the past 4 years, alongside my work as a Doula, I’ve had the honour of serving as a Council Director for The Reiki Association. Next weekend as I go to the Annual Reiki Gathering, my term will be coming to a close — but my journey with the Reiki Association doesn’t end here.

Instead, I’m sliding into a role that feels like a natural progression: the shoes of Editor-in-Chief of , the Reiki Association community magazine. 💫

Writing has always been a passion of mine, and my curiosity for people, cultures, and the stories that shape their lives continues to inspire me deeply. Together with a most beautiful Editorial and design team, we have already published two editions with me in the driver's seat. I feel excited to nurture this platform going forward, sharing voices, wisdom, and experiences from the heart of the Reiki community.
Gratitude beyond belief 💖🙏 Ax

To my fellow Lotuswei buddies here in the UK, whilst I'm figuring out the best way to bring you Lotuswei Flower Essences to your door, do go to the link in bio for a 10% from my affiliate link. The more people I can reach and share these blooming wonderful products, the better chance I have a setting momentum of continuous stock.... It's a ripple effect! 💐🌸💮🪷🏵️🌹🥀🌻🌻🌼🌷🪻🌱🪴

Email or DM me if you want to bulk buy on larger orders or if you are a practitioner, wishing to implement the flower essences into your offering.

Dear friends, I have separated the training courses so you can do one at a time. There are still places left for Reiki 1 next week 12&13th May 10am - 2pm each day. This is where the journey of self-care begins, giving you practical skills to fill your cup so that you are energetically and practically equipped to hold space for those in your care.
