The best start to parenthood
Are you expecting? Did you have a difficult previous birth and want a very different experience this time around? Are you dealing with a busy life or feel overwhelmed? Perhaps you’re struggling to cope with a newborn or you don’t have a lot of support nearby and need a helping hand to lighten the load?
As a birth and postnatal doula, I will support and empower you in making choices for a positive birth experience, and ease the newborn stage with nourishing food and hands-on help including infant feeding support or overnight care, giving you the best start with your baby.
Doula Services
Birth, postnatal and overnight.
Pregnancy, birth and parenthood are a journey, with unpredictable twists and turns. I’ll be with you every step of the way, for as long as you need, and give you confidence in your own ability to achieve the experience you want and deserve.
Cooking Services
Busy life? New baby? Recovering from an operation or illness? Not up to cooking for yourself or simply hate the endless meal prep, but still want to enjoy home-made food? I can come to you and batch cook nutritionally balanced meals to sustain and comfort.

The birth of your baby is an exciting time, but all the choices can feel overwhelming and the early days with a newborn are likely to turn your world upside-down. I’m passionate about supporting new parents through this pivotal stage, giving you the tools to manage and enjoy your new life with your baby.
I’m also a keen foodie, and worked alongside Delia Smith for 7 years before becoming a published cookery writer. I’ve created hundreds of recipes over the years, which I can now bring to your home via my batch cooking service.
