I am a passionate and dedicated doula, experienced in supporting families during the transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal. I believe that every birthing woman deserves to have a positive and empowering birth experience. I am here to provide the guidance & support needed to make that happen.
I have previously worked as a midwife, fertility nurse and nanny. This has given me real world experience of various stages of the reproductive journey, from pre-conception through pregnancy, birth and the care of newborn. This career path is a vocation for me.
Doula care rooted in compassion, empathy and informed decision-making. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and empowered. I will present you with evidence based information to enable you to make informed choices along your birthing journey.
I offer personalized antenatal sessions to help you and your partner prepare for childbirth. We will discuss your birth preferences, create a birth plan and address any concerns or fears you may have. I will provide evidence-based information on various birthing options and help you make informed decisions.
During labor, I will be by your side, providing continuous emotional and physical support. I will help you manage pain through various comfort measures; such as breathing techniques, massage, and positioning. I will support you in advocating for your birth preferences.
After the birth, I will continue to support you during the postnatal period. I will assist with breastfeeding, offer guidance on new-born care, and provide emotional support as you adjust to your new role as a parent.
I believe in the power of knowledge. I will provide you with evidence-based information on pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal care. I can recommend books, websites and classes that will further enhance your understanding and confidence.
"When I was pregnant with my first, Grace helped me feel safe & reassured. I was texting & calling her to ask the silliest of things and she never made me feel like I was too much or uncomfortable for not knowing things other mums to be probably knew already. I felt anxious at times and Grace helped me by being calm and positive - explaining things in a scientific way but also giving me real life examples to put my mind at ease. When I got signs that something might have gone wrong, she encouraged me to do the right things and get checked. Whereas other people were saying it was nothing. I'm glad I listened to her because there was a problem with the umbilical cord and who knows what might have happened if I didn't get there. Grace is very gentle and caring. This comes naturally to her. She has become the sister I always wanted and the guide I always needed. I will be forever grateful for all her advice and practical support. I will never forget how in postpartum depression, she has been by my side. One time when I was feeling so overwhelmed, she came over and simply tidied up for me. I remember feeling the love even in my darkest moment".
