I’ve spent the last 20 years walking alongside families during this precious and transformational time.

I am here to nurture your self-belief so you have the tools to feel more grounded and empowered throughout your pregnancy.

BOOK A CONNECTION CALL

With three children myself, two decades of supporting birth as a Doula and pregnancy yoga facilitator, I also run the Bath Home Birth group, offer breastfeeding peer support on the postnatal ward at RUH Bath and run regular mothers’ and women’s circles.

Having lost my own mother at a young age, i also have a particular passion for supporting and holding space for those with whom that resonates… I am here for you as you navigate that challenging path…

OTHER WAYS I’VE BEEN DESCRIBED

A balm in my pocket

“Making the billows smooth and bright” as my mum says

A ray of sunshine

A fresh zing of perspective in a rut

A supportive anchor

A grounded stillness in a storm

A hazy golden beacon moving gently in and out of my peripheral vision

COULD YOU USE A BIT OF THIS RIGHT NOW?
