Heading home after a wonderful, uplifting Summit in Seattle, where I caught up with old friends and made many new ones.

Also enjoyed seeing some of the sights... my favourite being and the fish stall whose inspirational story is the basis for the book 'Fish' is well worth reading.

To finish my time away, I got to enjoy cuddles and fun with my 3 American grandchildren.

Feeling very blessed. 💕

I thought I’d share a few fun facts that make me, well… me!

My hair may be a different colour every time you meet me—so don’t be surprised if I show up with a brand new shade!

I have multiple uteruses… mostly knitted! I love a good handcraft project, and my collection just keeps growing.

Handcrafts are my happy place—give me yarn, felt, or fabric and I’m in my element.

I pretty much always have my nose in a book, whether it’s birth stories or cozy mysteries.

I’m a cat person. There's nothing like a furry friend to lift your spirits while keeping you in line at the same time!

I’m passionate about helping doulas succeed and cheering on every step of their journey.

I’m deeply committed to my own personal growth, always seeking new ways to learn and improve myself

Lastly, while I absolutely love flowers, my garden only seems to grow weeds (but at least they’re thriving).

What is the most quirky fact about you??

I’m here in Seattle, USA at the 2025 DONA International Summit—and it’s incredible! 💫

It’s such a privilege to be surrounded by, uplifted by and connect with passionate doulas from all over the world, soaking up inspiration, new knowledge, and fresh ideas to bring back to our communities.

Stay tuned for more updates and insights from Seattle!

On the second flight making my way to Seattle for the DONA International conference...19 hours since I left home for the airport...3 more to go!
Can't wait to be surrounded by so many inspirational doulas. 🥰

Let’s clear up some common misconceptions about doulas! 🤔

Did you know doulas aren’t just for “natural” births or first-time parents? We support every kind of family, through all types of births—whether in hospitals, homes, or birth centers.

Doulas don’t replace doctors or midwives; we work alongside your medical team to provide emotional support, comfort techniques, and informed advocacy for you and your family.

Still have questions about what a doula does (and doesn’t do)? Drop them below!

Let’s keep the conversation open and bust those myths together.

Thanks for stopping by! I thought I'd share a few things about myself... things you might not find on a formal resume. If you're into birth work or just love a good behind the scenes peek, this one's for you.

I truly believe that supporting others - whether it's new families or doulas beginning their journey - starts with honest connection and a bit of laughter along the way.

Dive in, get to know me, and if anything resonates (or surprises you), I'd love to hear it. 💜
