Birth is transformative.

It is raw.

It is powerful.

It is empowering.

It changes you.

This is why I am a doula.

There is not a day gone by I don't think about my birth.

Birth changes you, it stays with you it changes your partner. It really does affect you for the rest of your life. The way you feel and talk about birth changes those around you.

It affects the next generations.

This is why I am doula and I will do everything in power to help you to have a positive experience, feeling cared for, loved and supported.

Imagine the difference it would have made if you had heard positive language about birth, real positive experiences.

Hearing women feeling supported.

Respected.

Listened to.

You deserve this and so much more.

Being pregnant in a heatwave is no fun 🥵

I had an August baby and I know what being pregnant in the heat feels like!

This is my go to feeling cool tip:

Grab some pure lavender essential oil ( I prefer french as if you're not a fan of lavender french it is more likeable)

Full a bowl of cold water and add up to 4 drops to 1 litre of water and soak those feet or pop some cold flannels in and wrap around your neck or anywhere on the body!

You can even leave it in the fridge and have one flannel soak while using the other one!

Or

In a cool shower pop some drops onto your hand give them a rub smell them and then rub all over your body.ams rinse in the shower.

Lavender whilst known for its calming sleeping vibes when added to cool water it has a cleansing cooling sensation!

Your welcome!

These are just SOME of the things I love to do as your doula!

I really love it when a client asks for help with something or I think of an idea that will make them feel that extra supported.

I love that every family I support is unique and different and I get to bring that continuity of care to them.

There's not much I won't help with and if it makes a world of difference to you then that's what's important to me!

This is what doula support is about!

Birth & Pregnancy Trauma Support, 3 Step Rewind & Birth Debrief ✨

Pregnancy and birth and postpartum can be a beautiful, empowering and transformative experience for some and for others it may be traumatic, distressing or a scary experience which can result in feelings of pain, anger, grief or even shame.

This could be as a result of interventions, birth plans changing, feelings of fear, helplessness, not feeling listened to, heard or supported, obstetric violence and sometimes loss of control during birth. It may also be a difficult pregnancy or breast feeding experience that has remained with you.

For some, they may have imagined how their pregnancy, birth or postpartum journey would feel and look; however this may have not have turned out the way you imagined which can leave you feeling loss of control, anger, pain and fear.

Birth Partners may also experience trauma from witnessing a birth that they may have found scary, traumatic or difficult.

Three Step Rewind Process to help you heal from your birth or perinatal experience in a safe and nonjudgmental space. In three sessions, we work together to debrief your experience, help you to process what happened and ease any symptoms you have been experiencing.

Birth Debrief

An opportunity for you to reflect on your experience and gain some clarity and understanding of what happened free from any judgement in a safe supported space. It can be a powerful way of reflecting and moving forward.

Honest + Informed + Empowering Birth Support ✨

Birth is incredible and I love to support all births and all families choosing to give birth at home across Nottinghamshire (including Derby borders), at City or Queens Maternity hospital (NUH) and Kingsmill Maternity Hospital (Sherwood Forest Trust).

Doula birth packages include pregnancy support, I will be on hand from the moment you book with me for any questions or worries you may have. Birth preparation including antenatal information, birth planning and support to prepare for birth. Birth attendance, I will support you from the moment your labour starts until your baby is born. Postpartum support, supporting you as you heal from birth.

A doula when you need them package for those looking for support through pregnancy without birth attendance.

Standalone postnatal packages for families looking for doula support in the postpartum period after birth.

My ethos as a doula is that EVERYONE deserves continuity of care and inclusive support no matter what. I want the families I work with to feel really cared for, supported and feel like they are not alone.

Birth Debrief ✨

A birth debrief can be really powerful in helping you to move forward from a difficult or traumatic birth and gain clarity and insight into what happened.

Unfortunately most take NHS ones take place where you gave birth which can be triggering, can be up to 6 months or more wait time and often they only give you an hour to talk through and ask questions which is not very long at all.

Birth debfiefs are also not for difficult or traumatic births, perhaps you want space to get a chance to talk about your birth and reflect on it!

Even when you share your birth with friends and family, it's never in one conversation from a to b. It is often snippets of moments and having a safe space to go from the very begining to the end can be really powerful and validating.

If you feel like you would like a safe space to talk about your birth either in person in Nottingham or online head to link in my bio ☝️.

Your birth matters and how you feel is important! It deserves respect, care and a non judgemental listening ear.
