Doula Support & Birth Education,
covering Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire
Home of continuity of care, gentle support, fierce advocacy and really great snacks.
Hi I'm Amy,
Doula, Antenatal teacher, birth nerd and always slightly frazzled Mum of two, supporting families across the East Midlands. Thank you for being here!
If you're feeling worried birth, or if you just want someone firmly in your corner to hold your hand through the whole life-changing 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.

Doula Support
If you're looking for someone experienced in birth, who you know and trust, to hold your hand you all the way through pregnancy, birth and postpartum....
Doula support is what you're looking for.
I offer one of a kind, full-spectrum doula support bringing continuity, a skilled pair of hands....and always plenty of snacks.
Group Antenatal Courses
You 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.
I offer Birth, Unpacked, a 4 week comprehensive group antenatal course, as well as Home Birth, Unpacked, an intensive workshop soley focussed on Home Birth.
Private Birth Prep
Looking for birth prep that’s tailored entirely to you and your specific needs and circumstances?
Choose 1:1 Birth, Unpacked, or let me create a completely bespoke course just for you.
Sessions are available in the comfort of your own home if you’re local, or online wherever you are.
As a doula I offer support across Nottinghamshire, Derby and parts of Derbyshire and Leicester. Antenatal education can be done remotely if you are further afield or from your home if you are In Notts or Derby.
As a doula I cover Nottinghamshire, including West Bridgford, Beeston, Bramcote, Wollaton, Ruddington, Edwalton, Tollerton, Keyworth, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Bingham, Southwell and Mansfeild, as well as Derby, parts of Derbyshire and Leicestershire.

"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."
- Louise (pictured here during her HBAC in Derbyshire)
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.
I'm a fierce advocate for informed choice and bodily autonomy, and this is reflected in all my work.
I'll never tell you what to do, but I will give you information and solid support so you can make confident decisions.
Wether we meet in a group or 1:1, my aim remains for you to feel seen, heard and well supported, however your birth unfolds.
I support births at home, as well as at Nottingham QMC, Nottingham City, Royal Derby and Burton, Kingsmill and Chesterfield hospital
