One of my clients described my support at her birth as “like having my mum there – but without the emotional strings attached!” If that’s the sort of doula you want and you’re in the London area, then contact me. In another life I was – still am, sometimes – a writer and journalist but over the years my passion for supporting women and couples through the birth and parenting journey just grew and grew. After four quite varied birth experiences, and now that I’m a grandmother, I’m even more passionate about the need for our maternity care to be woman-centred especially in our busy London maternity units where this can be easily lost. My philosophy is to bring a positive attitude and to support the mother in making informed choices for herself; to listen to her wishes and do my utmost to see them carried out while bringing all my skills to the party.
