I'm a doula who fell in love with birth during my own pregnancy and intervention-free homebirth. Walking alongside women as they step into the role of Mother is my great passion. I believe that exploring your thoughts and emotions leading up to your birth is a pivotal part of the process.
I have a background in Psychology, History and Literature Studies, and I am interested in how cultural and social beliefs play into our experience as birthing women.
I am privileged to be undertaking Birth Attendant Training with Rhea Dempsey (Doula and Author of Birth with Confidence and Beyond the Birth Plan) so that I can better understand the nuances of holding space for this sacred rite of passage.
Having experienced pregnancy loss, and navigating my choices within the hospital system, I am intimately familiar with the myriad of feelings that can come up around conception, pregnancy and birth.
I'm here for you if you want to discuss your hopes, fears and dreams, and gather in a stronger circle of support for your birth.
