Welcome to my blog
A space for women and families to feel informed, supported and inspired throughout pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of parenthood.
Here I share articles on everything from birth preparation, hormones and movement, to postnatal recovery, breastfeeding, emotional wellbeing, birth culture and birth in the news.
My aim is to make evidence-based information feel accessible and human — blending science, body wisdom and years of experience supporting families as a Doula (Birth Companion), teacher and massage therapist here in the Forest of Dean.
Take your time, explore what resonates, and if you’d like to work together, you can find my latest classes and support options here.
