My phylosophy
I believe that childbirth is a transformative rite of passage, and that mothers have the knowledge and ability to give birth and care for their babies. My goal is to support women by providing them with information and building their confidence, as well as helping them form a connection with their bodies and babies. I want them to feel surrounded by love and support.
My approach
My focus is on nurturing self-trust and mapping the childbirth landscape. This involves equipping women with the knowledge to understand their options, navigate the healthcare system and advocate for their needs, all while ensuring they feel supported throughout their journey.
My values
My values lie at the heart of my practice, guiding all my interactions with the families I support. I am committed to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for mothers and their loved ones, and these values inform my approach. I am dedicated to supporting women during one of the most significant moments of their lives, nurturing them and helping them to have a positive and meaningful childbirth experience that honours their unique journey.
- Nurture: I believe that every woman is the expert when it comes to her own body and baby. My role is to nurture self-trust and provide the necessary information to enable women to make informed, independent decisions. I encourage mothers to trust their instincts and feel confident in their choices, so they can take ownership of their childbirth experience.
- Compassion: Compassion is at the heart of my practice. I strive to create a safe space where mothers feel heard, understood and supported. I offer emotional and physical support tailored to each woman’s individual needs, aiming to ease fears and anxieties so that mothers can focus on the wonder of welcoming a new life into the world.
- Respect: Respecting individual experiences and choices is paramount. I honour the diverse backgrounds, beliefs and preferences of every family I work with. I understand the cultural and personal significance of childbirth, and I ensure that every mother feels valued and supported throughout her journey.
- Holistic approach: I take a holistic approach to childbirth, considering its emotional, physical, and social aspects. I support mothers by viewing each woman as an individual and helping her to navigate the complexities of her experience, so she can develop a deeper connection with herself and her baby.
- Advocacy: As a doula, I advocate for mothers, ensuring their voices are heard within the healthcare system. I empower women to express their needs and preferences, and help them to navigate the maternity landscape with confidence and clarity.
