Hello there, 

I’m a doula and hypnobirthing practitioner covering Chester, Ellesmere Port, Wirral and rural Cheshire. My aim is simply to support families to feel calm, confident, and cared for during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

My own journey into doula work began following having my first baby during lockdown. That experience showed me how important having reassurance, hands on support and companionship could be as it was completely stripped from us. Followed by the incredible support of my own doula at my homebirth second time around, this confirmed how vital compassionate, continuous care can be. I now offer the same hypnobirthing course that I used myself, because I know first-hand how empowering it can be. It was crucial to the positive experiences I had for my own births.

You can also check out my postnatal preparation group workshops starting in Chester this Christmas! 

Alongside my doula and hypnobirthing work, I also work within a specialist perinatal mental health team. With a background in psychology and several years in health and social care, I bring both professional expertise and a warm, reassuring presence.

Recent feedback:

"You're amazing and I'm not just saying that - I think you can really make a difference with what you're doing so keep going!"

It’s a privilege to walk alongside families at such a special time, helping them feel informed, supported, and truly heard. I am contactable through any of the links above and look forward to chatting with you soon.
