Hampshire Doulas

I came into Birth Doula’ing after a ceasarean section in 1992 and supporting women wanting to give birth after a caesarean locally. I quickly realised how important it was for women to have a companion who believed in them and their ability to give birth. I am passionate about helping women to learn about their rights, how to get the support from the maternity services they want, on their terms and to believe in their ability to have the best possible birth. I work through a model of supporting individuals on their terms, working from a place of love and through education. I have trained with Molly O’Brien ( bio mechanics for birth) and Gail Tully ( Spinning babies), bring hypnobirthing techniques and Buteyko breathing to enhance labour and birth. I am both a down to earth, practical, and loving doula. I offer a strong loving presence, continuity of care and advocay, putting the mother at the centre of my care and fully supporting her partner.
I am a Birth Doula Mentor. I completed the Advanced Doula course with When Push Comes To Shove in 2020.
