I live in S.E London with my husband and am an experienced mother of three grown up children and grandmother of two lovely boys. Family life is and always has been very important to me.

I had the privilege to be at the birth of my first grandson. I wanted to be there to support my daughter and son in law in any way that I possibly could. After I was constantly thinking of ways that I could have helped them more. Just a short while later there was a discussion on the radio about Doulas I did some research and found that was what I had to do, how fantastic to be in the position to be able to help so many women. It is important to me that women are happy with their birth experience and can take their new baby home feeling empowered and confident.

I trained with Nurturing Birth in July 09 and am now working towards being a recognised Doula with Doula UK.
