✨ Your body, your choices ✨

“Birth advice is only useful if you understand it — an opinion, even from your care provider, is not a fact and doesn’t replace your consent.”

Pregnancy and birth are full of advice, guidance, and “shoulds.” It can feel overwhelming — especially when everyone has an opinion. But true informed consent comes from understanding, not just following instructions.

Here’s what that can look like in practice:

💜Ask questions until you truly understand what’s being suggested.
✨Pause before agreeing — your body and your choices deserve space.
💜Research reputable sources alongside ✨your care team’s advice.
💜Trust your instincts; you know your body better than anyone else.

✨Remember, consent is ongoing. You can change your mind at any point — even during labour.

💜Your voice matters. Your body matters. Your choices matter.

✨ Take a breath. Ask. Understand. Then decide.

✨ Doula-ready with fresh new energy! ✨
Turned up 15 minutes early (as always!) — partly to make sure I’ve got the right address, partly because I love having those quiet moments to ground myself before a first doula chat.
A little breath… a little excitement… and a whole lot of passion for supporting a gorgeous couple who might choose me as their doula.

These first meetings are such a mix of joy, curiosity, and connection — and I adore them. 🤍
And honestly — huge love to couples who reach out for doula support. It takes awareness, courage, and a deep desire for a positive, supported birth experience. They’re already doing something amazing for themselves and their baby.💜

I’m now booking into 2026, with lots of enquiries coming in already. If you’re thinking about doula support, or even pregnancy yoga, antenatal preparation, HypnoBirthing tools, or anything in between, please do get in touch.

I currently have Doula availability in January, May, and beyond, and I’d love to support you on your journey. ✨

✨ Pregnancy Yoga: the calm, the comfort, and the “oh… that actually feels lovely” moments.
If you’ve swiped through the carousel, you’ll already know why these classes become the best part of the week for so many mums-to-be.

Pregnancy can feel full-on — your body’s changing, your mind’s busy, and baby thinks 2am is the perfect time for gymnastics 🙃
That’s exactly why this space exists.

These classes are your weekly pause button.
A moment to stretch, breathe and settle your nervous system.
A chance to tune into your baby and actually feel that quiet connection beneath all the noise.
And yes — we laugh, we wobble, we take breaks, we use cushions & block to make sure your super comfy 🥰🥰

If you’re looking for more comfort, calm and confidence in your pregnancy, I’d love to welcome you.

🌿 Mondays – The Ash Tree, Norwich
🌿 Wednesdays – The Willow Centre, Cringleford

Hey lovely people 👋

I’m Em (short for Emmeline) — 46, a proud Gen X gal and total 90s teen who still knows every word to every Spice Girls songs 😆🎶but was very much into Sleeper, Cranberries, Snoop & Cyprus hill!! 💜🤟🏼

I’ve always been a bit of a free spirit — school wasn’t really my jam (hello, dyslexia 👋) but creativity? That’s where I came alive. Art college, a degree in photography, and a backpacking adventure around the world with my best friend all shaped who I am today 🌍

Somewhere along the way, I fell head over heels for coffee, cake, and community ☕🍰 — opening my first business, Cherryleaf, where my love for people truly grew. Fast forward through motherhood (after a long fertility journey ❤️), a few cake clubs, storytelling jobs, and a whole lot of soul searching… and here I am — a yoga teacher and doula helping women find calm, confidence, and joy in birth 🌿

I’m also a proud wifey and mama to one amazing boy — the light of my world and my biggest teacher in love and patience 💕

I believe breath heals ✨
I believe in women 💪
I believe every birth matters 🤍
I definitely believe in cake 🍰

Now, my days are filled with movement, mindful moments, mamas, and the occasional brownie (because balance, right? 😉).

Here’s to cake, calm, and connection — my three favourite things 💫

✨ Monday evenings – Ash Tree Yurt, Norwich.
✨ Wednesday evenings – Willow Centre, Cringleford

Each session is a chance to release tension, feel empowered, and surround yourself with like-minded mums-to-be in a warm, welcoming community. We always finish with deep relaxation – time just for you to rest, restore, and reconnect. 🕯️

A gentle stroll at Blickling with a beautiful cuddle of Norfolk doulas 💜🍂

After holding space for so many others, it’s nourishing to slow down, breathe, and simply be together. Conversations flowed easily — stories, laughter, reflections — all grounding reminders of why we do this work.
The perfect way to end the week — grounded, recharged, and grateful for this beautiful community. 🌸
