I live in north London with my husband and three school-age children. Working as a Postnatal Doula allows me to be alongside families at a very special time and to use my skills as an NCT-trained Breastfeeding Counsellor and Developmental Baby Massage Teacher to support parents with feeding, sleep and getting to know their baby or babies in the early weeks of life. My focus is on offering practical support in the home whilst also providing space to share questions or concerns and to listen as parents explore some of the more difficult feelings or experiences that can accompany the transition to parenthood. I particularly enjoy preparing nourishing food and enabling a mother to find ways to rest as she recovers from birth and focuses on taking care of herself and her baby. To nurture myself, I read, walk and drink coffee or beer with friends and colleagues.
