Born to Birth Cornwall

27/03/2026

In 2023, I started building pregnant & postpartum communities in Cornwall.
It's going strong.

To most people, doulas mean birth space.
Or perhaps antenatal.
Don't get me wrong, you'll find me there too!

But these spaces matter.
Not just a little bit, but a lot.
Because human beings are not designed to do the birth and baby journey alone.

Having people around you, that are experiencing the same highs and lows, hopes and fears, aches and pains as you in real time matters.

It reduces isolation & fear.
It improves your mental health.

In short, these social spaces make birth and baby life better, and creating them for you - and watching you find your feet, your friends and your confidence within them - never gets old.

Sound good?
Explore 'Bump Club' and 'The Nest' via my website, and if you fancy it, book a session. You never know how it might help.

'You will be nervous, but it's so worthwhile pushing through and getting there' (Kate, first-time-mum)

Bringing your baby out for the first time IS nerve-wracking. But that's exactly why 'The Nest' exists.

Everything here is about making this easy.
The warm welcome.
The easy parking.
The comfy chairs.
The baby change.
The hot drink & homemade snack.
The listening, understanding ears.

'The Nest' is a space filled with people who get what it's like to be you, and who want to hear, to help and forge the friendship that makes maternity leave better.

Sound good?
We'd love to meet you next Thursday at The Family Space.

Come with me as I build 'The Nest' ...

Every stage of this set up brings you part of what you're craving right now.

From the calm vibes to the caffeine, from the sensory toys to the space to sit and just be.

Everything is purposeful.
Nothing is left to chance.
Because you deserve this time.

Bringing you every ounce of this, is my total pleasure. It's the doula way.

April spaces are now live

'A weekly haven for me and my daughter! No enforced awkward activities, just space and calm and a listening ear...' (Kerry)

'The Nest' isn't a baby group: it's unapologetically here for you to ...
.. talk to other other new parents that get what its like (& make friends!).. share your stories, your frustrations, your questions (& get some answers too!).. celebrate the wins with a homebaked flapjack & a coffee (& take a moment to breathe!)

'The Nest' has been making maternity leave better for Cornwall's new parents since 2023; around this mat, laughter has been shared, tears have been shed and friendships have been forged.

This is the community that every new parent deserves.

Creating this space & watching you find your feet within it, is such a joy.

Sound good?

'The Nest' welcomes parents of babies from birth to just-about-crawling to each of our two Thursday sessions at The Family Space in Threemilestone, Truro.

Spaces are limited to keep the warm & welcoming vibes going, so booking is essential. Click the link to grab your space...

You don't need saving or fixing: you need support.

Pregnant, labouring or postpartum, you are filled with the instincts and intuition to do birth and baby life in a way that's right for you.

What you're missing, is support.

The zero-judgement, zero-bias source of information.
An ever-present, always-listening cheerleader.
A doula to hold space for you to explore & feel your way through.

This is what I do best.

There's no time-frame on when I start and finish working with families: some will contact me 6 weeks into pregnancy, others 6 months into postpartum.

Whenever and wherever we start our journey together, you'll get the same confidence building support that helps you to navigate birth and baby life on your terms, and in your own way.

Curious? DM and we'll have a chat...

FYI: the Spice Girls taught you to be independent but it doesn't fit this stage of life.

Humans have always navigated pregnancy, labour and postpartum in communities. Not just their families, or friends.

People who fully understand what you're going through right now, and who know how to listen, support and help you get through it.

That's why I created the communities of 'Bump Club' and 'The Nest'
It's why I work 1:1 with families as their antenatal educator, their birth doula and their postpartum support.

Yes, in the context of 'right now' it seems out-of-place.
A luxury perhaps.
But what I do, the places I create, are as old as human time itself.

And honestly, it works.
I know because the reviews speak for themselves.

Pregnancy is best done in company; Bump Club helps you to find those mum mates.

No-one can relate to pregnancy life better than someone living it with you, in real time.

Highs and lows
Questions and doubts
Hopes and fears

Since 2023, I've watched these common grounds take pregnant strangers to friends before they've ordered their decaf lattes.

And by the end, as the numbers are swapped and meet-ups arranged, you'd struggle to believe you'd never met before.

We welcome every and all pregnancies to our table: whether this is your first or your fourth, in your 2nd week or 42nd, we'd love to meet you.

Bump Club is free to attend but spaces are limited to keep the warm & welcoming vibes going,

Birth is never generic, so why should your antenatal preparation be?

These tailored 1:1 sessions:
🪡 are tailored to you, not the masses.
💪 build real confidence, not just knowledge.
♥️ give you the tools to stay calm & in control, whatever your birth plan.

Effective antenatal isn't a one-size fits all scenario.

I bring every ounce of my lived professional experience as a Cornish doula into your birth preparation, so you can prepare in a real, relevant and effective way.

Home or hospital birth
Natural or induced
Vaginal or caesarean

You deserve so much better than the standard.
Which is why I do antenatal this way.

Courses for first time parents & expanding families.
Weekday, weekend and evening availability.

🤍 Create a personalised support toolkit that feels right for you both

This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about feeling prepared, connected and capable.

My mission is to help birth teams feel like they know what they're doing, and that yes, they absolutely can do this. Whatever your birth plan. Whatever your goal.

So let's get started with your birth prep, shall we?

Motherhood does not have to be lonely.
The key is finding places to talk.

Since 2023, 'The Nest' has given hundreds of new parents the time, space & flapjack-filled background to chat, unload & find friends.

No loud music.
No jazz hands.
No puppets.

Just this. And it's bliss.
