A doula is someone who offers continuous emotional, physical, and practical support during pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenthood. I’m not a medical professional – my role is to focus entirely on you and your experience. That means helping you feel relaxed, informed, and supported, whatever kind of birth you’re planning. I’m there to listen, reassure, and help you navigate your options so you can feel confident and cared for every step of the way.

Having a doula by your side can make a real difference. Research shows that people supported by doulas often have shorter labours, fewer interventions, and feel more positive about their birth experience. But beyond the evidence, it’s about how you feel – having someone who can keep you grounded when things get intense and who makes sure your voice is heard. My job is to hold space for you, so you can focus on doing what comes naturally.

Yes, definitely. A doula supports both of you. I help partners feel confident in how to support you, whether that’s through hands-on comfort, words of reassurance, or simply being present and calm. Many partners say that having a doula helped them relax and feel more involved, knowing someone experienced was there to guide and steady things along the way.

Anytime that feels right for you. Some people like to get in touch early in pregnancy to have plenty of time to prepare together, while others reach out later when they start thinking more about birth. What matters most is finding someone you connect with and trust. Once we start working together, I’m there for you throughout, getting to know you and your hopes for birth so you feel fully supported.

I live in Hertford in Hertfordshire and cover anywhere that is within 1 hour’s drive from Hertford. I am happy to discuss location so do email or call me.

If you’re interested in working with me, the first step is to book an initial chat. It’s a relaxed, friendly conversation where we can talk about what you’re looking for and see if we feel like a good fit.

If you decide you’d like me to be your doula, we’ll go through my packages, fees, and availability together, and then confirm your booking with a simple agreement to secure your spot. The agreement simply outlines the terms of my services and our commitment to one another.

Yes, I do take a deposit to secure your booking. I generally take half of the full fee, with the remaining balance due closer to your birth. However, I know everyone’s circumstances are different so I’m happy to arrange a payment plan that works for you. Just let me know in our connection call and we can discuss frequency.
