Doula and Hypnobirthing coach based near Reading and Newbury
Your Body, Your Baby, Your Birth Story
Frequently asked questions
You and your partner already know you want more than what standard NHS classes provide. You don’t just want knowledge, you want to walk into birth grounded, deeply supported, and ready to navigate every moment together.
This isn’t just another antenatal or hypnobirthing course. It’s for families who don’t feel the need for a birth doula, but do want to feel as confident, calm, and connected as if one were in the room.
Over 6 weeks you’ll learn to trust and understand your body’s wisdom. Your partner will learn how to hold space, offer reassurance, and support your choices, as if they were your doula.
A hands-on, doula-led course is rooted in real-world experience and evidence-based practice. It blends practical tools with emotional preparation, giving you both the confidence to approach birth as a connected, capable team, without the full investment of hiring a doula

💫 The Benefits of Having a Birth Doula
The presence of a doula doesn’t just feel supportive, it is supportive, in ways that are backed by research.
When you have a me by your side, you’re not just gaining emotional reassurance — you’re adding someone to your team whose only focus is you and your experience. And the impact of that is powerful.

💡 Parents are 31% less likely to use synthetic oxytocin to speed up labour
💡 The use of pain relief like epidurals drops by 10%
