I’m passionate about providing personalised, relationship-based care that respects and empowers you and I strongly believe that every woman should have the information, and be supported in their decisions, to experience birth and motherhood in a way that they choose. Having a baby is about so much more than just labour and birth, and there are many moments along the journey where support can make all the difference. With me, you’ll have an advocate, a confidante and an experienced professional dedicated to making your birth experience positive and fulfilling.
Here is how I would love to support you:
-
Building a Relationship:
From our first meeting, my goal is to build a trusting and supportive relationship with you. I’ll be with you every step of the way, from pregnancy through postpartum, ensuring you always have a familiar face and a compassionate ear.
-
Listening and Advocacy:
Your voice matters. I will make sure you feel listened to and that your preferences are respected. Together, we’ll develop a birth plan that reflects your wishes, and I’ll advocate for you within the healthcare system, ensuring your needs and choices are honored.
-
Believing in YOU:
I believe in the power of undisturbed, physiological birth, and I believe in your innate wisdom and knowing, and that you know your body best. With my experience and knowledge, I’ll support you in creating a calm and empowering birth environment, to support you in welcoming your baby into the world in a way that is right for you and your family.
-
Navigating the System:
The maternity system can be complex and overwhelming. I have extensive experience in navigating it and will help you understand your options, make informed decisions, and ensure your rights are protected.
-
Holistic Health Support:
Your overall wellbeing is paramount. I integrate holistic practices to support your physical, emotional, and mental health. From hypnotherapy to NLP and somatic coaching, I offer tools to help you stay grounded and connected throughout your journey.
My dedication to supporting mothers has compelled me to develop both an extensive set of skills and knowledge over the past 20 years, as well as an incredible network (‘the village!’) of complementary support to share with you.
I also bring the village to you, who can support you with:
Nourishing cooked meals, inspired by the philosophy in Heng Ou’s brilliant book
Holistic sleep support
Comprehensive breastfeeding assessments by an IBCLC breastfeeding specialist
Specialist postpartum women’s physiotherapy (aka a ‘Mummy MOT’)
Birth pool hire
Support packages start from £2000 for families within a one-hour radius of York and can be fully tailored to meet your needs.
In order to deliver the quality of care I love to provide, I support a select number of families each year.
