I was inspired to become a doula following the birth of my first child. I could see (and had felt first hand!) the things that helped to keep birth straightforward and comfortable and wanted to share them other parents. I first trained as an active birth yoga teacher and then as a doula so that my preparation was as rooted in reality as possible. Nearly twenty years later I am still preparing and supporting women in birth and love it. My main aim is to transform feelings, to replace any fear or doubt people may be feeling with confidence and excitement. I support a lot of women to give birth at home but also attend births in hospital. I have written two books How to Have a Baby and Why Home birth Matters and hold a weekly lunchtime Yoga birth class in SW London.
