I am a Doula who supports women in pregnancy, birth and early motherhood. As an Aquanatal Yoga teacher, I encourage women to bond with their babies through gentle stretches in the water. Based in The Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales.

Friendly antenatal class in the comfort of a homely, relaxed setting? I will take you on a step by step journey of how our bodies birth our babies. I support ALL choices whether you are planning a home birth, hospital birth or caesarean and provide you and your birth partner with up to date evidence-based information, so that you can leave fully prepared. Learning how competent and incredible your body is can help you feel confident and relaxed through the stages of birth. Our aim is to make you feel positive about birth and labour, empowering you with knowledge and confidence on your journey into motherhood! On a small group workshop you will also meet and socialise with others during the day and possibly make lifelong friends. Or, if you prefer a one-to-one session I can visit you at home where you feel most comfortable and have up to two birth partners join you. I am a fully qualified teacher with a positive attitude and humour plays a big part too… so I promise the time will pass before you know it! Each workshop covers the following: ?Positive attitudes in pregnancy ?Hormones in pregnancy and birth ?Understanding your pelvis ?Stages […]
