I’m a birth doula in London, supporting families within 1.5 hours of Wimbledon.

I offer thorough antenatal prep focused on physiology, breath and informed choice, plus continuous birth support and nurturing postnatal care, including feeding guidance.

What a truly fabulous day at The Baby Show on Sunday. It was such a pleasure to spend it alongside the brilliant Alex from and the wonderful Amanda from

One of the most rewarding parts of the day was speaking with so many expectant parents and hearing where they are in their journey. The spectrum of experiences and understanding was huge. Some parents had never heard of a doula before, others had heard the term but were curious to learn more, and a few happily told me they already have a doula supporting them — which is always lovely to hear.

What stood out most was how many mums shared that they weren’t fully aware of the choices available to them, and some expressed that they didn’t feel particularly supported. Quite a few said they were planning to “just go with the flow.”

This is exactly where the work we do becomes so important. Every mother deserves to understand her options and to feel informed, confident, and supported. Knowing your boundaries, recognising your triggers, and being clear about your non-negotiables, matters

Birth is not just a moment in time — it is a story that stays with you forever. It is your story to write.

May we know them.
May we be them.
May we raise them.

On this International Women’s Day, I find myself looking at these three girls and thinking about the women they will become.

I hope they continue to grow into warm, authentic and compassionate women, who are deeply feminine yet fiercely strong. Women who know their softness is not a weakness, but a quiet kind of power 🌀 Women who trust their instincts, honour their voices, and stand confidently in who they are.🩷

I hope they move through the world with compassion and courage — able to hold both tenderness and strength in the same hands.

Most of all, I hope they always know their worth❤️‍🔥

Watching them grow is one of the greatest privileges of my life, and I am endlessly proud of the girls they are and the women they are becoming.

Happy International Women’s Day to the women we admire, the women we strive to be, and the girls we are raising. ✨

This Sunday, I’ll be at the Baby Show at Excel with the wonderful team at The Original Birth Connection — the place where my own doula journey began 💙

If you’re expecting (or even just beginning to think about it), come and find us.

We’ll be there talking about birth preparation, antenatal education, navigating your options, postnatal care, and what real, steady support can look like in those early days.

Doula support is about advocacy, practical help, reassurance and emotional holding — walking beside you every step of the way.

Whether you have lots of questions or just quiet curiosity, we would love to meet you.

The moments after birth are not just medical. They are biological. Primal. Sacred. 🌀

When your baby is placed skin to skin on your chest, something extraordinary begins. Their breathing steadies. Their heart rate regulates. Their temperature rises or cools in response to your body. Your chest quite literally adjusts to meet their needs.

This is not coincidence. It is design.

Skin to skin contact ignites the oxytocin cycle — the hormone of love, bonding and protection. Oxytocin helps your uterus contract, reduces bleeding, supports the release of colostrum, and strengthens that deep, instinctive attachment between you and your baby❤️

And it works both ways.

The more you touch, smell, gaze and hold your baby, the more oxytocin flows.
The more oxytocin flows, the more connected and responsive you both become.

This is why uninterrupted skin to skin matters.

Newborn hats, though often routine, are rarely necessary when baby is on their mother’s chest. Babies regulate their temperature beautifully against your skin. Covering their head can interfere with something incredibly important — your ability to see them fully, to kiss them, to breathe in that intoxicating newborn scent that further fuels the oxytocin cycle.

That smell is not sentimental.
It is neurological. It strengthens bonding pathways in the brain.

⭐️ You are their warmth.
⭐️ You are their regulation.
⭐️ You are their safest place.

In those first golden hours, protect the bubble. Keep your baby close. Let the hormones flow. Trust the biology.

Birth is raw🌀

It is blood and breath.
It is trembling hands and primal sound.
It is intensity that cannot be polished or softened for comfort.

We are taught to fear blood. To see it as something alarming, something wrong.

Yet in birth, blood is not violence.
It is life unfolding.

The same body that grew your baby from two cells, softens, opens, stretches, and releases.

And the placenta, a sacred, temporary organ — formed solely to nourish, oxygenate, and sustain your child. An organ created by your body, for your baby, with quiet devotion for months🌀

The rawness is not something to hide.
It is something to honour.

What is a healing birth?🌀

It can mean different things to different people.
And no—it isn’t always about a water birth with fairy lights and whale music (though it absolutely can be ✨).

Often, a healing birth is one where a mother or birthing person feels heard.
Where they feel safe.
Where their body autonomy is honoured, and their choices are respected.

Sometimes healing comes not from how a birth looks—but from how it feels.

What does a healing birth mean to you?

A tree hug on our New Year Walk 🌳💕

As 2025 comes to a close, my heart feels incredibly full. This year I had the honour of walking alongside so many wonderful families during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives 🌀

To be trusted in birth spaces, to witness strength, vulnerability, and love in its purest form, is something I will never take lightly🧡

Each family, each birth, each story has shaped me and reminded me why this work matters so deeply. I am endlessly grateful for the connections formed, the lessons learned, and the moments that will stay with me forever 💕

As I step into 2026, I do so feeling excited, humbled, and deeply blessed. There are beautiful plans ahead and incredible families I’m preparing to support—including one that will be welcoming their baby any day now. What a way to begin a new year.

Thank you to every family who allowed me on to their journey. I can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings ✨

Around the holidays, pressure to “pick a date” often has less to do with parents and more to do with hospital schedules. Staffing, coverage, and clearing the board can quietly become part of the conversation—sometimes without being named.

It’s important to know this: hospital convenience is not a medical indication.
Wanting to be finished before Christmas or New Year’s is understandable on a system level, but it does not automatically make induction necessary, safer, or better for your birth.

Induction has its place when there is a true medical need. Outside of that, you are allowed to ask why, to request time, and to choose patience over pressure. Birth doesn’t need to fit neatly into a holiday schedule to be healthy or beautiful.

Your baby is not late for the calendar.
Your body is not behind.

✨✨✨

Being on call as a doula is its own quiet rhythm.

It’s the gentle anticipation… checking in with yourself, checking in with your bag, checking in with the mama you’ve been walking this journey with.
It’s holding space long before labour begins, feeling her on your heart, imagining her strength rising, and staying ready for the moment she says, “It’s time.”❣️

While the world moves on in its usual pace, we sit in this in-between place: grounded, prepared, and waiting with love.
Because when that call comes, everything shifts and we step into the sacred work of supporting a mother bringing her baby in to the world 🌀

Birth doesn’t always unfold the way we imagine it will.
Sometimes the path twists. Sometimes decisions need to shift. Sometimes the moment calls for things we never pictured.

And while those changes can feel big — feeling fully held, fully seen, and fully supported through every “what now?” moment… that is what matters most.

Because every birthing person deserves to feel heard.
Every partner deserves to feel guided and included.
And every family deserves to feel supported — no matter how the journey unfolds.

Your birth is still yours.
And you are still the author of your story.

Just about landing back on earth after a gorgeous summer spent with my babes 🌺

The world feels heavy right now, and love, inclusivity, and connection are needed more than ever. I’m grateful that through birth work, I get to experience these things every single day ✨

🌀Shut out the noise. Tune in to your body.
You were made for this.🌀

Since the beginning of time, women have carried the wisdom and strength to birth. It’s in our bones, our blood, our knowing.

The medical system—shaped by patriarchy—has taught us to fear birth, to question our bodies, to surrender control. But not all interventions are necessary. Not all authority is truth.

It’s time to come back home to ourselves.
To trust deeply.
To birth boldly.
To take back what’s always been ours.
