During pregnancy, for birth and with your baby,
my practice is here for you every step of the way…
- With consultations, digital guides and courses, my practice is here for you with information you can trust, a chance to ask questions, personalised sessions and reassurance.
- You can join the conversation on a small online space that is dedicated to conversations and content about birth, babies and early parenting.
- The Birth & Baby Blog is where you can read about pregnancy, birth and early parenting.
- As a doula I work with parents from across Newcastle and Tyneside.
- And Mother Cuppa is for parents from across Tyneside – it’s a safe space for conversations, questions, reassurance and confidence.

The Being Mum Project focuses on the reality of life after pregnancy, birth and with a baby.
It’s about collecting and sharing some of the untold stories of being mum to give you a voice and to reassure and normalise life being mum.
