Your Birth, Your Way—I’m Here to Help
Hi, I’m Nat.
I am a devoted birth and postnatal doula, passionate about supporting birthing people to be informed and empowered during their journey through pregnancy and beyond. I am blessed to be a birth worker that had the support of a doula during my own pregnancy and birth. This experience is partly what drives my passion for working with birthing people. I wish for all new parents to have the opportunity to be nurtured and supported to make informed choices during this time- as well as having a birth experience that is both magical and empowering, however that may look for them. I have witnessed firsthand how having autonomy during your birth experience can create real life magic! Whether that be in your own home, in a birth centre or in hospital.
I have been honoured to witness all modes of birth, and truly believe all are beautiful when those birthing are at the centre of their experience. I have a very special place in my heart for home birth, home was where I birthed my son. I got to experience first hand how birth can be undisturbed and autonomous, and what a positive impact continuity of care and a trust in physiology can do.
In between working with clients I’m busy exploring the world with my free range 6 year old and my husband. When I’m not on call for clients you can find us in the woods or at the beach.
As a doula I am honest, gentle, inclusive and a fierce advocate when it comes to need to be. I adore what I do, joining parents on this incredible and deeply personal journey is nothing short of an honour. As your doula I will support you to want more, for you to feel empowered and autonomous during your birth and provide that much needed safe space to unpick any fears or beliefs that might get in the way of you having the birth you so deserve! Together we will build your toolkit of resources for navigating the maternity system, birth and beyond, and build your community ready for the arrival of your beautiful baby. It really does take a village!
I’ll be by your side every step of the way.
