My philosophy

I am sensitive to all your needs and concerns - talking through every aspect of the forthcoming labour is of prime importance. We will discuss the kind of birth you have in mind; labour, delivery and use of any of the various pain relief methods that modern medicine is able to provide. We will also talk through your feelings about feeding and your post natal needs. Our bodies are a powerful tool and women know instinctively how they work best. Doing everything I can to make that possible is my focus. I offer reassuring advice and comfort to both parents whenever it is needed, and aim to achieve a calm and relaxed environment for the labour, delivery and immediately afterwards. Continuous care is vital and seems to be missing from today's obstetric environment so as a birth doula I aim to provide that.
