I’m an adopted Londoner, originally from SW Scotland but now based in SW London. My three very different boys arrived in very different ways and I realised how that birth experience impacts what kind of parents and family you become. I didn’t know what a doula was when I had my babies, so I aim to be the doula I wish I’d had: a practical, non-judgemental doula who’ll help clients have a calm, happy birth experience and find straightforward ways to manage the pregnancy, birth, and postnatal period. Before becoming a doula, I spent more than a decade as a journalist and often support clients in a similar position – used to work stresses, deadlines and targets, but unprepared for pregnancy and birth. My job is to help you get the information you need, ask the right questions, and prepare for the birth you want – whatever that looks like for you.
