FAQs

I’m based in Scarborough and generally support families within around a 45-minute radius. That said, I’m always open to a conversation! If you live further away, please still get in touch and we can see whether it could work.

I support births at home, in hospital and in birth centres, and have experience supporting VBAC, planned caesarean births and women birthing without a partner. For planned homebirths, I only attend when a private midwife has also been engaged.

My work is very relationship-based. The connection and trust we build throughout your pregnancy is an important part of how I’m able to support you when birth arrives. I want to know you, what matters to you, and how you want to be supported. If you’re looking for someone to simply turn up on the day, I’m probably not the doula for you.

You’re welcome to book me at any stage of your pregnancy — and the earlier you reach out, the better chance I’ll have availability around your due date. We’ll generally begin our antenatal sessions around 25–30 weeks, giving us plenty of time to get to know each other, work through your Birth Map, and begin preparing your body for birth using Optimal Maternal Positioning. That said, I have taken on clients in the final weeks of pregnancy too, so it’s always worth reaching out.

Yes! I’m very happy to arrange a payment plan. We can work out a schedule that suits you, with the full balance paid before I go on call for your birth.

Absolutely! Birth Story Writing is a standalone offering and is open to all mothers — you don’t need to have worked with me before.

There’s no time limit. We can capture your story while the memories are still fresh, months later, or return to a birth from years ago. Your story is still worth telling whenever you feel ready.

Absolutely. I’m more than happy to offer additional support beyond what’s included in my signature package, whether that’s extra antenatal or postpartum sessions. We can tailor the additional support to what you need.

It’s always a little strange when our formal time together comes to an end, especially after sharing something as significant as birth. But I never see it as a hard goodbye. My inbox is always open, I’d love to hear your updates, and I’m never going to say no to a coffee catch-up!
