Hi I'm Amy,

Doula, Antenatal teacher, birth nerd and slightly frazzled Mum of two, supporting families across the East Midlands.

If you're feeling worried or scared about birth, or if you just want someone firmly in your corner to hold your hand through the whole lifechanging process...you're in the right place.

I’m here to help you feel confident, informed and powerful... ready to navigate the twists and turns of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

Let's have a chat

You're here because....

You want continuity of care and someone to hold your hand through all the way through pregnancy, birth and postpartum...

Doula support is what you're looking for.
I offer relaxed, responsive, full-spectrum doula support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I bring continuity, reassurance, gentle practical support....and always plenty of snacks.

You and your partner want to feel confident and prepared for navigating birth and early parenting, and you want to build your local support network...

Antenatal classes are what you're looking for. My course Birth, Unpacked is designed to help you understand your options, explore what feels right for you, and feel more confident and prepared for birth, as a team.

"Thank you for everything, but most of all, thank you for simply being there.
Your presence was my power.
You helped me feel safe, strong and capable. You'll forever hold a special place in my heart and my birth story."

My own first birth was the thing that catapulted me into the world of birthwork...

After an epic home birth in 2018, I left my previous career as a prop maker and retrained in hypnobirthing and pregnancy yoga. In the years since, my work has naturally evolved into doula support, where I’ve gained direct, hands-on experience supporting many wonderful families of different shapes and sizes, through a wide range of births at home and at hospital.

Whether I’m working with you in a class or as your doula, my approach is calm, relaxed, and centred around your autonomy. I don’t have any fixed idea of how your journey should look, instead I focus on helping you understand your options, feel confident in your decisions, and lean into your own intuition.

And if you’re having a bit of a wobble along the way, I’m always there with a cup of tea and a snack to help you feel grounded again.

Continuity and close relationships are at the heart of everything I do. Whether we meet in a group setting or privately, the aim remains the same: for you to feel seen, heard, and well supported, whatever shape your journey takes.

How I went from being a Replica Weaponry maker to Doula

The story of how I went from making mould maker for a living, to being a professional birth nerd. In my twenties I lived in London and worked as a mould maker, specialising in replica weaponry. You know in films where you see a scene with hundreds of swords or someone smashing a barstool over someone else’s head, the chances are those props will be replicas, rather than the real thing and if it is within a certain time frame there is a good chance I made some of them. I’ve h
