In honour of women and the birth process I will help you to express your innate strength and inner wisdom, to birth your baby in a calm and empowering way. To give your baby the best start in life.
Wherever you choose to give birth I will support you and your partner (and/or other children) in your experience and your decisions. For each journey is unique and sacred.
I will help you to build trust in your body's natural ability, to make informed choices, and be prepared for all possible outcomes. A gentle birth, contented baby, and happy futures.
I am blessed with three beautiful souls who enlighten my life each and every day. I use my professional and personal experiences, to show you you're strong and capable. Help you trust in yourself, your instincts and baby. And help your partner, with a little guidance to be the support you and baby need.
I am your personal assistant, with you for the duration of your labour and birth, with caring practical visits before and after.
It is my honour to guide you with communication - education - birth planning - support in pregnancy, labour, birth, and post natal - past issues - meditation - visualization - aromatherapy - massage - healing - breastfeeding - bonding - support for your partner - pregnancy and birth photography.
No question is too silly; I'd love to chat with you about your plans.
