birthkeeper / doula support

 
 

Welcome, Mama!

It would be an honour to walk alongside you and to witness you navigate this epic journey of transformation into Mother.

As a birth-keeper, my role is to be by your side as someone other than a medical professional or family member and to be your cheerleader, your advocate, your emotional and practical support throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and early motherhood. I will support you to make intuitive choices, be a listening ear, a gentle touch, a compassionate heart as you make decisions that are in deepest alignment with your deep inner knowing in mind, body and spirit.

We will meet throughout your pregnancy, where I will listen to you, hold space for your dreams and fears, be your sounding board, help you to reflect on your choices, get excited about all of the details, share useful information, support you with grounding and comforting tools, create meaningful rituals to mark this important time and help you to feel as confident and powerful as is possible ahead of the big day. As well as being with you, I am also with your birth partner, and so building a relationship and connection to create a robust and intuitive birth team is also a key part of our journey together.

I will be on hand in the early weeks as you get to know the beautiful little being that has graced your world, and to ‘mother the mother’, so that you can focus on what is important to you and your family - creating solid foundations of nurture, responsiveness and ultimately, love!

womb-wise pregnancy & birth

During the last 7 years, I have held holistic healing spaces for women both one-to-one and in groups to come home to their wombs as a resource of love and creativity, release trauma and pain, support conception and fertility journeys, revisit and heal menarche, honour the mother postpartum and more. Weaved through all that I do is supporting women to listen to their deepest instinct and to embody the wisdom and power of the womb space.

My offerings / trainings that have contributed to my work as a Womb Wellness & Empowerment Guide will naturally weave their way through our sessions and the practices I’ll share with you:

  • Womb & Fertility Massage Therapy

  • Well Woman Yoga

  • Reiki & healing energy

  • Ayurvedic Yoga Massage

  • Yoni Steam Wisdom

  • Kundalini Dance (intuitive & embodied dance practice)

  • Guided Meditation

  • Womb & Feminine Empowerment Wisdom

  • Ceremonial / Rite of Passage Space Holding 

This is an incredibly pivotal time in your life, as you become a Mother for the first or subsequent time. I will endeavour to honour and amplify the sacred in you, your family, and the transformational portal of birth so that your emergence into Motherhood is established with profound intention.

COST

This full spectrum pregnancy, birth and postnatal package has been priced in a way that reflects the experience, wisdom, value and time I offer.

I am currently being mentored for this part of my birth-keeping journey, and have an experienced doula (of over 30 years and countless births) walking alongside me, offering her support and guidance.

To reflect this, I am offering a sliding scale of payment, starting at £800 - £1200. I am open to discussions around tailoring this package to suit your needs, an will consider requests for installments and payment plans.

location

I live in South East London and happy to cover South East & West London, Kent, Surrey and surrounding areas, anywhere that is up to 1hr travel from my home in SE25. If you are from slightly further away, let me know and I’ll consider what this could look like.

interested & would like to connect?

To begin your journey with me, you are welcome to book an initial connection call with me. This is a call to let me know that you’re interested in exploring the possibility of working with together.

If you get a good feeling, the next step is to move forward with booking a longer 30min - 1hr meeting (in person or online), along with your birth partner.

This complimentary, in person meeting is an opportunity for us to get to know one another - ahead of any obligation for us to work together. I would love to get to know you, and I am sure you’d like to make sure you are making the right decision for this very important time in your life. I’ll share what I can offer you as your doula, and answer any questions you may have. I’ll then wait to hear from you once you’ve felt into it and have come to a decision.
