Grounded in the tradition of community support and family-centered care for the pregnancy, birth and postpartum continuum. Rooted in traditional wisdom, practical preparation and evidence-based information, I am here in service of women and families to honour the sacred and transformative time of bearing and nurturing new life.
Choose focused support for one stage of your journey, or receive continuous care from pregnancy through to early postpartum. Each offering can be tailored to your needs, preferences and family.
I hold a deep commitment to rekindling traditional wisdom and community involvement in the birthing journey. Having experienced positive natural births myself, including two home births and one community centre birth, I bring a unique perspective and passion to helping women feel protected, nourished, and empowered, weaving together ancestral practices with evidence-based care.
My personal journey into the world of doula support was profoundly shaped by my own birth experiences. After having doulas attend my second and third births, which were incredibly positive and smooth, I felt a strong conviction to help other women feel safe, nurtured, and empowered during their own birthing journeys. The invaluable support from my doulas significantly boosted my confidence in birth and aided my postpartum recovery. This inspired me to pay that support forward, offering nurturing and nourishment to women in my community. Birth is a sacred and transformative time, deserving individual attention, profound support, and honour. My offerings are grounded in both traditional wisdom and evidence-based practices, ensuring a holistic approach to your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. I am dedicated to returning to the essence of birth as a powerful, natural event. Please note, I am a doula, not a midwife, and therefore do not provide medical advice or assistance.
Bringing new life into the world is an immense and important responsibility, one that deserves to be honoured as a sacred transition. I am guided by the ancient wisdom of women being with women, in community, since time immemorial, recognizing the innate power and intuition of mothers. Birth is a natural life event that requires proper integration into the mother and family's life for the most supported and nurtured journey into parenthood. The postpartum window is equally vital; I advocate for a return to woman-to-woman support and community care that genuinely enables the mother bond with her baby, foster attachment, and heal in her own time. My approach is deeply rooted in personal experience and a holistic understanding of the birthing journey. Having experienced three easeful and positive natural births myself, I understand the profound impact of an intentional environment and chosen support system.
Grounded in my Christian faith, my approach honours the sanctity of life and the birthing process. This spiritual foundation is harmoniously supported by my academic pursuits in Physiotherapy. This holistic perspective allows me to offer comprehensive support that respects both the spiritual and physical aspects of birth, creating a nurturing space where mothers feel empowered, informed, and truly cared for. Furthermore, my ongoing studies in physiotherapy provide me with a distinct advantage, allowing me to integrate anatomical and biomechanical knowledge. This expertise supports women with pelvic floor health and optimal labour positions, ensuring a well-rounded and informed approach to care.
