Birth & Doula Services

I am an antenatal and postnatal doula and breastfeeding supporter based in West Wales.

 Invocation, by Jane Hardwicke Collings

We call the Divine Feminine

The inner knowing within each of us

Feminine wisdom, courage, strength

We call the women who have gone before us,

mothers, midwives, wise women

be with us. 

Remind us to trust our bodies

remind us to trust the birth process

and surrender our fears and worries,

remind us to simply be with what is

our awesome selves

powerful, creative, yielding and wielding.

(from the book, 10 Moons)

What is a Doula?

Doulas are women who offer support during pregnancy, birth and postnatally. Some work antenatally, attending births or just for the postnatal period, others do a mixture – adapting to the needs of the women they work with. Doulas are not medically trained, but are able to offer physical and emotional support as well as providing continuity of care.

“Birth is not only about making babies. It’s about making mothers – strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and believe in their inner strength.” Barbara Katz Rothman

About Me

My passion lies in Empowering Women through connection to the Womens Mysteries, supporting women to trust their inner wisdom, especially as they come to the Birth Altar. I trained with Dominique Sakoilsky and Louise Bennett on the Relaxed Birth and Parenting course. Between them they have a wealth of knowledge and over 35 years of doula and antenatal teaching experience. For more information on the Relaxed Birth and Parenting approach please visit the website…

Closing the Bones Ceremony

  Closing the Bones is a postpartum healing ceremony, which was created to nurture the mother after her passage through giving birth, and her journey into motherhood.  It is a celebration, a setting of sacred space, and a way to nurture Mama & baby. Closing the Bones is a tradition from Ecuador, where the postpartum mother is blessed, anointed, massaged and wrapped. There is a calling of her spirit back to herself as she has been a portal for carrying new life - as a Warrior…

Intuitive Massage for Women

I combine integrative and intuitive healing techniques to create a custom designed healing massage for each of my clients. Massage is an age old ancient therapy, an extension of the instinctive urge to touch and soothe. It counteracts our stressful lives by providing an opportunity for deep relaxation. Therapeutic touch has been found to introduce relaxation and reduce stress, decrease swelling in the arms and legs by increasing blood and lymph circulation, relieve aches and pains in…
