A little bit about me and my beliefs

I will hold my hands up and admit that I am a complete birth nerd. I love birth, I respect birth and I trust birth. I wholeheartedly believe that when left undisturbed, the physiology of birth will unfold beautifully.

I am an incredibly calm and loving presence with a huge heart. And I will hold you so gently as you wonder the mystical path of pregnancy and birth. My care is entirely mother led. All of our sessions will be entirely dictated by what you need. And of course, if you seek my advice and expertise, then I come armed with a whole wealth of knowledge and resources to help you make informed decisions. I will always trust your instincts and intuition as the mother, rather than what I may think is best, to help you remain sovereign and empowered throughout your birthing journey.

My own birthing journey has brought me trauma and also deep healing and I bring this wisdom to helping you. I have experienced one heavily medicalised birth in hospital and one redemptive, empowering, physiological home birth. It is my mission to help more women reclaim their birth like I did with my second.

I recognise that birth occasionally needs medical support, and I am so grateful that we have access to such excellent care when it is needed. However, I do not believe that birth needs to be treated as a medical event in the first instance, and I am here to gently help women remain in control of their birthing journey.

What else?

I am a woman, badass home-birthing mother of 2 boys, sacred birth worker, yoga and pregnancy yoga teacher, mother’s circle facilitator, daughter, sister, friend…! Born in Cape Town, I now live in Bristol, UK.

I love music, festivals, bare foot dancing outside, cold water swimming, climbing mountains, camping, singing, drinking wine with girlfriends, sitting in circle with women, delicious food, running wildly and freely, adventures, colourful clothes…to name a few. Time at home with my family is sacred to me and I am at my happiest spending slow mornings with my boys drinking coffee and getting stuck into hard core play time.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
