About Me

I am a scouser, who landed in London in 2006 and have been calling East London home since then. What you can expect from me is warm, friendly, empathetic support, with gentle and/or fierce advocacy all the way.

I am a mum to 2 wonderful small people, aged 11 and 6, one of whom is neurodiverse and I have lots of advice and knowledge to share from my lived experience. From birth, to breastfeeding, to baby wearing, to navigating parenthood and beyond.

I have a creative background in design, fashion, oh and a bit of operations management…which actually all really helps! But honestly since having my own children, this has been my calling.

I do believe in continuous learning, and that everything is connected (and I am a bit of a geek) so I am always doing training to learn more about this wonderful enormous topic(!) of holistic creation of life and beyond!

And talking about that…how amazing is it that we can create life and then bring this new life into the world! I am here for you every step of the way, providing individualised support (that is beneficial to YOU and what YOU need and want!).

I have worked with clients across different settings, from those who have wanted home births, to birthing centres, to those with more complex medical needs. I have supported elective caesarean births, creating a plan for a more gentle experience for the birthing person.

I am committed to supporting all birthing people and fighting against inequalities. My work is trauma informed as I know most of us have experienced some trauma and some of us have experienced great trauma.
I see the huge inequalities in perinatal care and outcomes for those in the global majority who are minoritized and I am here for you. I also recognise LGBT+ birthing people and especially those who do not identify as female or mothers can have such a hard time navigating the outdated system, and I am here for you too.
If you are neurodiverse we can look at how you process information and create a plan to support your needs.
