Doula Mentoring

My holistic practice started with my work as a birth doula in 2006, supporting women to deliver their babies into this world safely and with confidence.

My role as your mentor is to remind you of the power and strength you hold in your doulaing journey and beyond, as well as preparing you for the challenges you might face and how best to manage them successfully.

We do better together side by side as there is a force of energy that is shared in times of learning, exploring joy, success and sorrow.

​

The fear, the uncertainty, the excitement, the self-doubt, the big dreams….all parts of you are welcome in our Mentor-Mentee relationship. We will shine a light on your strengths and improve the areas that need attention. Be assured that our relationship will pluck you out of your comfort zone and expand your knowledge helping you to trust this calling and birth yourself into a doula your clients will adore and you will be proud of. 

I am the doula’s doula and I strongly believe that community is important in this work. Get in touch to explore working together.

​

It’s an amazing feeling to know that your quiet presence can infuse others with calm, confidence and self-belief. 
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, walking the dogs and being outdoors. 

I like to keep up to date with birth/postnatal research by attending courses and reading journals and books.

I love being a doula, and feel it is a job where you are constantly learning. I am excited to have the opportunity to walk alongside you as you begin your journey as a doula, supporting you with some of the things I have learnt over the years, and also learning from unique you.

Given my experience and strengths, I specialise in supporting couples to use Hypnobirthing techniques and feel passionate about encouraging them making informed decisions about their care. I believe that families can experience their best birth in many different ways, whether that’s in or out of a pool, at home or in hospital, meeting their baby with a vaginal or abdominal birth. 

Having the privilege of providing support to a range of families, in varying birth environments and circumstances, I’m excited to be offering my support to newly trained doulas walking their own path into the birthing world.

I am a recognised Birth Doula, and have supported over 50 births since 2018 in a wide variety of settings. I have supported couples, solo parents and vulnerable and asylum seeking pregnant people who are under Home Office care.  I am also a mother of three, one born in hospital (King's) and two at home.  I feel so fortunate to have experienced such positive, fulfilling births and my aim as a doula is to help every birthing person to have the birth they wish for, feeling supported and empowered every step of the way. I have a wealth of experience I can share with you as a mentor, supporting you on your wonderful journey of becoming a doula!

I have been a doula and a midwife in Mexico, the Philippines, Hong Kong and India. Coming full circle to return to London in 2016 after 20 years abroad, I bring a wealth of experiences and cultural awareness to my doula practice and mentor role. I became a Director and Coordinator at Neighbourhood Doulas in 2020 and the growth I continue to experience enhance my doulaing and mentoring skills.

As your mentor you can expect me to be a good listener and to hold space whilst you discover and grow into the birthworker you dream to be. I believe in growth in communities, I love networking and it makes my heart sing to witness the birth world expand in diversity and that each birthing person might see themselves in a doula somewhere.
