Empowering you to radiate confidence in birth and parenthood
Welcome to Radiant Birth
As a doula, I am committed to providing compassionate and experienced care to support you and your growing family. I offer nurturing and empowering guidance to help you feel confident, informed and supported throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. With a deep understanding of the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of childbirth, I help you radiate strength, confidence and joy as you welcome your little one into the world.
How a doula can support you and your baby
Emotional
I offer continuous unbiassed support and warm encouragement, listening to your needs without judgement and responding with compassion and empathy to create a nurturing and calmly reassuring environment. My role as a doula is to uplift, helping you believe in your body’s natural birthing abilities.
Physical
I support families with all kinds of births, from planned caesareans and early epidurals to home water births. With an understanding of normal physiological birth and common medical interventions, I can help you and your partner use breathing, massage, relaxation, movement and positioning to support your birth experience.
Informational
I provide reliable, evidenced-based sources discussing the many different options in pregnancy and childbirth to help you make decisions that are right for you. During your labour, I will create space and time for making informed decisions, advocating for your stated wishes if required.
How I can help you
I provide the continuity of care that is not often possible within the confines of our health service, from helping you research and plan the birth you desire, to supporting you through your labour and at home postnatally. My doula services ensure you feel nurtured and guided every step of the way.
01
Pregnancy
Together, we can research and plan your ideal birth, examining options for alternatives so that you are always in control and aware of the available choices in any scenario. I will help you prepare well, so you feel positive and empowered.
02
Birth
I am a continuous reassuring and caring presence, offering you practical support, emotional encouragement, and a non-judgemental listening ear. I can advocate on your behalf, so that medical staff are aware of your wishes.
03
Postpartum
I can help you become the parent you want to be, offering you practical postnatal assistance and advice, including feeding support. I will help around the house, look after baby while you nap, play with older siblings, do the school run, shop, make meals, even walk the dog.
Want to ask a question or have a chat?
It’s important we are a good match as you will be inviting me to share in a truly intimate moment. I offer a free initial one-hour consultation by phone or video call, so we can explore if we are a good fit. Come prepared with lots of questions, or just ready to share your hopes and dreams for birth and parenthood.
Follow up meetings are in-person if we decide to go ahead.
