As your doula, I’m by your side every step of the way.

Birth can be unpredictable – but your support doesn’t have to be. You’ll receive:

  • Emotional support before, during and after birth.
  • Evidence-based information to help you make decisions with confidence.
  • Physical support including using biomechanics techniques to encourage your baby into a more optimal position
  • Continuous presence during labour – no shift changes, no judgement – just calm, steady support.
  • Postnatal care to ease your transition into parenthood.

When we work together, you’ll feel heard, held and empowered—however your birth unfolds.

Imagine this…

  • You’re stepping into labour knowing you and your partner are not alone.
  • You trust your body and have confidence in your choices.
  • You have someone beside you who knows birth, believes in you, and will advocate for you.
  • You and your partner feel connected, confident, and calm.
  • You meet your baby feeling powerful, not panicked.

So, what does working with me look like?


As your birth doula, I’ll be there for you during pregnancy – usually visiting you at least twice before the big day. This helps us build a real connection so I can understand your hopes, any worries, and what kind of birth experience you’re dreaming of. It means I can tailor my support to fit you – whether that’s helping you feel more confident, sharing helpful info, or just being there when you need a friendly face.

I’ll be on call for you 24/7 from 38 weeks (and I’ll do my best to get there early if baby decides to make a surprise appearance before then). Once labour starts and you call me in, I’ll be with you and your birth partner – supporting both of you through every contraction, all the way until a couple of hours after baby is born. I’m not there to replace your partner, but to support them too, so they can focus on being the best support to you.

My role is all about helping you feel safe, informed, and emotionally cared for – whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, water birth, or anything in between. And whatever path your birth takes, I’ll be right there beside you.

After baby arrives…

Once your little one is here, I won’t rush off. I’ll stay until you’re comfy, confident, and settled.

If you choose to breastfeed, I’m also a trained Breastfeeding Counsellor, which means I can help you get started with confidence.

When you’re ready for some space and snuggles, I’ll leave you to it – but I’ll be back soon for a postnatal visit to check in, chat about the birth, and offer support as you settle into parenthood.

A bit about my experience

Over the last 12 years, I have supported all kinds of births as a Doula (more than 140): vaginal, water births, inductions, home and hospital births (including delivery units and birth centres), caesareans, VBACs, twins, breech babies, assisted deliveries, births after loss and high risk pregnancies for a myriad of reasons. Whatever your path looks like, I’ll walk it with you.

Whether you’re looking for reassurance, guidance, or someone to walk beside you during birth—I’m here. I’ve been where you are, and I believe you deserve a birth experience that feels calm, supported, and entirely your own.

I live in Haverhill with my husband, three boys and two labs! I generally work anywhere that is up to an hour from my home, in any direction.

Pricing

My Complete Birth Support Package is £2100.

My shared care price (including myself and another doula supporting you throughout the whole journey – same package as above) is £2500. Learn more about shared care here.

In certain circumstances, I may offer an ‘ad hoc’ package where you can call me on the day you go into labour and if I am available, I will attend your labour, birth and first few hours after your baby is born. This does not include any antenatal or postnatal sessions, and does not guarantee my availability, but can be a good option if I already have a client booked in, or if finances do not allow you to book my full birth service. The cost of this is £800, which is payable after the birth.

Client Feedback

Frequently asked questions about doula services

Of course – good idea! I recommend that we have an initial video call to chat about what you are looking for and see if we think we could work well together. Video calls tend to be the easiest way to arrange our first meeting as life is so busy for everyone! Please contact me to arrange this.

In a word – no! I always do my utmost to be at every client’s birth but sometimes life throws us a lemon, so therefore I cannot 100% guarantee that I will be able to come due to unforeseen extreme circumstances (I’m talking getting run over by a bus or my children being hospitalised!). In a very rare situation like this, I would endeavour to arrange a back up for you from my close network of trusted doulas, or, if you prefer, a partial refund which would be agreed by contract on booking.

Why hire a doula?

The benefits of Doula support are backed by research. These benefits have been recognised by the World Health Organisation:

Mothers using a labour doula were likely to have an easier and faster labour, needed fewer interventions and develop closer bonds with their babies.’

Mothers using a doula were:
50% less likely to need a caesarean section
40% less likely to need forceps delivery
60% less likely to ask for an epidural
Labour was an average of 25% shorter


After the birth, mothers were more likely to breastfeed and less likely to suffer from postnatal depression’



Birth and the early days of parenting can be powerful, beautiful…and intense. You deserve someone who’s trained, grounded and by your side, from start to finish. Think of me as your go-to support person – your calm in the chaos, your cheerleader, your sounding board. I’m here to walk this journey with you, side by side.
