Perhaps you’re longing to feel safe, supported and truly heard throughout your pregnancy, birth and those tender days of early postpartum. Or maybe you feel a quiet calling to step into your full power as a mother, feeling deeply connected to your intuition. Knowing that, however your journey unfolds, you did everything possible to create the empowering and sacred pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience you deeply deserve.
If this resonates, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a birth and postpartum doula based in Bristol and surrounds, offering nurturing, holistic support through pregnancy, birth and early motherhood. Alongside this, I hold pregnancy yoga classes and mother & baby circles for those seeking a more connected and conscious journey into motherhood.
You want to honour this threshold. To bring intention, presence and sacredness into your birth space, no matter where or how you choose to give birth.
You value both knowledge and intuition when it comes to preparing yourself for birth and motherhood. You’re willing to do the work to build a deep sense of trust in yourself as you create a pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience that feels empowering.
You also recognise the profound shift in identity that happens when you become a mother (or a mother again), and you believe deeply that mothers deserve to be held too.
As your birth and postpartum doula, I offer practical, emotional and spiritual support, alongside evidence-based information, to help you feel confident and trust yourself throughout pregnancy, birth and early motherhood. I provide a calm, grounding, reassuring presence wherever and however you choose to give birth, and continue to nurture you through those vulnerable, tender days of early postpartum - so you can enter motherhood feeling held, empowered and deeply supported.
Pregnancy Yoga offers a gentle, nurturing way to connect with your body, your breath and your baby, while meeting other expectant mothers. These sessions support you to build trust in your intuitive guidance, to find a sense of calm and help you to prepare for birth and motherhood. A beautiful way to honour the sacred journey of pregnancy. I also offer Rest & Restore Yoga which combines gentle, slow, fluid movements with a long guided relaxation. Open to all bodies.
For the mother looking to connect back to herself and be witnessed by other mothers through the ebbs and flows of motherhood. In these Mother & Baby Circles we shine a light on the often unspoken realities and emotions of motherhood. A safe, nurturing, non-judgmental space for mothers to gather with their babies and normalise the full spectrum of motherhood in all its beauty and messiness.
These circles are a space for women at all stages of life to come back home to themselves whilst being witnessed and held without judgement by the other like-minded women. Being in a Women's Circle with other women who give you the space and permission to show up exactly as you are is the medicine the world needs right now. When I sit in circle with other women I am reminded of our interconnectedness, how I can see a little part of me mirrored in the faces of each sister, even when our stories are different. A powerful reminder that we are not alone.
Using water during labour can be so incredibly beneficial not only for pain relief but also for supporting relaxation, aiding in mobility and offering a sense of privacy. That is why a birth pool can be a wonderful addition to your birth space, whether you are planning to birth at home or in the hospital or midwife-led unit.
