Birth Support
As a birth keeper/worker, I am a protector of sacredness & sovereignty in pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I provide tailored support to the mother as she journeys the path and initiation through birth into motherhood and meeting her new baby. I provide emotional, informational, practical & spiritual support to a mother throughout her pregnancy, birth and after her baby is born. To meet her baby a mother has to journey through a deeply transformative rite of passage out of which a new mother emerges, a woman forever changed. I believe it is deeply important that women are listened to, supported and nurtured during this tender time. Birthing the future is no small feat.
​
Being well prepared and informed throughout this journey is vital, especially as there is still a significant amount of fear and coercion surrounding pregnancy and birth, in particular for black & brown people. Investing in birth and postpartum care will be so much more valuable long term than the latest buggy/stroller! As a birth keeper, I will provide you with a safe space to be heard, held and seen, to birth in the way that makes you feel safe. I will support you to work through any fears and concerns whilst reminding you of your power & innate ability to birth your baby & trust yours and your baby's journey towards meeting each other.

Connection and energy play such a definitive part of a mother - birth keeper relationship. I feel that it is important that you feel comfortable and at ease with me, and I with you, for us to go on this journey together. For me this work is a calling. I have been working in the birth world for over 8 years and present for over 50 births, each of them sacred. Supporting mothers & families as they welcome new life is truly a gift and I will continue to uphold the sacredness of this work.
Please see my offerings below. If you would like to send me an email to find out more please let me know where you are based and your estimated birth date/month. I look forward to connecting with you!
