Having a Birth Doula in East Kent to support you can have the most positive effect on your experience, from your pregnancy through to postpartum, those early days when you are navigating life with your newborn as you start or grow your family. There can be so many reasons why you might want Doula support, and I believe there is a Doula out there for everyone.

I think of myself as your birth companion who will walk alongside you for much longer than just your labour journey. I provide evidence-based antenatal education, a non-judgmental listening ear, and practical, physical, and emotional support during pregnancy, birth, and the newborn days.

We know that it is recommended that women and birthing people benefit massively from continuity of care and a constant companion at birth, which makes so much sense, doesn’t it? Whilst I am beyond grateful for the NHS, we can’t sugarcoat the current state of our maternity system, and a huge part of my role as a Birth Doula is to help you navigate your way through that.

I have been supporting parents in my role as an Antenatal Educator in East Kent since 2021, also offering 1-2-1 antenatal support throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I had been waiting until my daughter was old enough for me to be able to support families in this way, and the time is now. It’s an absolute calling, and I am so excited to be here.

I am non-judgmental, pro-choice, and very happy to support hospital births, home births, and birth centre births, as I do not believe Doulas are only needed at home. I birthed my daughter on a labour ward and would have loved a Doula by my side.
