My journey into birth work started after having my first baby and TBH, it was a bit of a car crash (you can read more about that here).I was broken physically and mentally, and I knew that wasn’t acceptable. It might be common, but it’s not normal.

 

That’s what sent me down this path, learning what actually happens in birth, and what makes a difference.

When I had my second baby just under two years later, it was everything I’d hoped for.

I remember saying, “I NAILED IT!” No one should have to wait for baby number two to get that.

Birth stays with you and I care about what happens in that moment, when things start shifting, decisions are being made, and it can go one way or the other. That’s the work I do.

 

I’m a Leeds girl living in Knaresborough, close to Harrogate.

When I’m not working, I’m either out in nature, off in the camper van, or on the sofa with a cup of tea watching whatever trash I fancy (Made in Chelsea… or Harry Potter / Lord of the Rings).

I’m obsessed with soup (and bread, obvs). You’ll get to try it after your baby arrives.

 

I’m also into all things holistic health and alternative therapies. I can disappear down that rabbit hole for hours. Ayurveda has been a big one for me, especially when I was dealing with autoimmune issues and feeling completely depleted. Human Design, astrology… I’m into those too.
