I am married to Louis and live in St Ives, Cambridgeshire. We have three beautiful children, Poppy (12), Florence (10) and Seth (6).  I am a recognised doula, having trained with Nurturing Birth in 2005 and received recognition through Doula UK in 2007. A certified doula with Nurturing Birth www.nurturingbirth.co.uk  I am a qualified YogaBirth Teacher, teaching Yoga for Pregnancy, Active Birth and Birth Prepartion workshops and one-to-one sessions. 

I am very excited and motivated by doing something that I enjoy so much. I love babies!  New life is a wonderful miracle and supporting mothers and families through this remarkable time in their lives gives such joy and motivation. I am able to support women in having an informed pregnancy and calm and loving birth and get great satisfaction from helping others.  I am passionate about my role as a doula and have worked informally for friends for many years.  I became a recognised doula with Doula UK in 2007 and I have attended approved Doula courses with Nurturing Birth for both birth and postnatal work, becoming a Certified Doula in 2008.  I am very active at continuing my professional development.  I qualified to teach Active Birth Yoga with YogaBirth in April 2007 and set up classes in Cambridge and Peterborough.  This is such an exciting time for me.  I am passionate about yoga and to be able to teach women in pregnancy has been a dream of mine since I was pregnant with my first child and attended an Active Birth class.  In November 2008 I completed my second training module with YogaBirth, to teach Couples Workshops.  I can now offer antenatal workshops for couples and one-to-one birth preparation for couples in the privacy of their own home.
