As a mum to two energetic children, I truly understand how busy life can be and how overwhelming those early days of motherhood can feel, especially during the fourth trimester when you're adjusting to parenthood. This photo captures a joyful moment from my own postpartum journey, but it wasn’t always sunshine and smiles. I struggled, particularly with breastfeeding and the sheer exhaustion that comes with sleep deprivation and constantly questioning myself and having to make decisions every day about what best to do. 

 

What made all the difference was the loving support I had around me. It reminded me of a truth I hold close: we’re not meant to do this alone. That old saying is spot on - it really does take a village to raise a child and I'd love to be part of your village so you don't have to do this alone.

​

I live in Guildford, Surrey with my wonderful family, and I love staying active, whether it’s walking, running, yoga, swimming, cycling, or paddleboarding. But above all, I cherish spending quality time with family and friends, soaking up the simple joys of life.

 

I’m known for being compassionate, empathetic, and cheerful, with a positive mindset and a reliable, caring nature. My background includes roles as an HR Advisor and Personal Assistant, but after having my two children, I felt a strong pull to follow my heart. That led me to become a doula; supporting new parents through the incredible, sometimes overwhelming journey of welcoming a newborn. It’s a role I’m deeply passionate about, and I feel privileged to walk alongside families during such a special time.

 

This dream truly began to take shape when I started volunteering with the family support charity, Home Start. It opened my eyes to how much new families benefit from a little extra help during those early weeks and beyond. That experience inspired me to explore Doula UK and train with the amazing Developing Doulas, and I haven’t looked back since.

 

I absolutely love connecting with other parents and have a deep affection for babies, so becoming a postpartum doula 6 years ago feels like the perfect fit. Supporting families postpartum during such a tender and transformative time is not just my work, it’s my calling.
