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.

Emphasis on autonomy and instinct always.
I'll never tell you what to do, but will always give you space and information to make confident and informed decisions.

If you're having a wobble along the way, I'm always there with a cup of tea, a snack and a good chat, to ground you again.

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 had the joy of working with Ruby and her husband to support the birth of her second child. After a traumatic hospital forceps birth, she decide to take matters into her own hands and do things VERY diffferntly this time. She has kindly agreed to sharing her story: "Trying to think of how to title my story and the main word that yells through my mind is Healing. That is what my second birth was, and it was beautiful and needed (if a little quick!) Amy has been a part of my
