about me

I am a trained nurse and midwife with 20 years experience. Childbirth has always been my passion, which led me to train and register as a doula in 2007. I am also a mother. Our daughter was conceived with IVF treatment and her birth was a beautiful experience.

I believe every woman deserves a dignified, non-judgmental birth experience. Whatever your choices for labour and birth are, I am committed to supporting you throughout the process.

Part of my role as your doula is assisting you and your partner with investigating and finding evidence-based, unbiased information needed to make informed choices. Your confidence will grow as you trust your ability to make the best, informed decisions for yourselves and your baby.

Although pregnancy, labour and birth can seem overwhelming at first, with education and understanding we will work towards the best possible experience for you. I firmly believe that the power and intensity of your birth cannot be stronger than you – because it is you.

The quality of emotional care received by mothers during labour, birth and immediately afterwards is vital in strengthening the emotional ties between mother and baby. I am committed to helping you achieve a high level of emotional and physical care.

I believe it is a privilege to be invited to support women and their partners at a time that is so personal and intimate to them. I value the role I play in being a part of the positive growth of a family.
