I became involved in all things birth once I had my own children. Having personally experienced baby loss followed by the birth of two rainbow babies, I truly appreciate how precious the time of pregnancy and birth are, and how, with the right information and support, birth can and should be a positive and empowering life-changing event. I started by training as an antenatal teacher and began campaigning for improvements in maternity services. Then I trained as a doula, and I absolutely love what I do. It is such a privilege to be a part of a family’s journey through pregnancy and beyond, getting to know them, supporting them, physically and emotionally to navigate that journey in the way that is right for them so that they embark on the transition to parenthood feeling confident and with a sense of well-being.
