About Me
I have been a Doula since the beginning of 2006 and offer Antenatal and Postnatal support in the London area. I trained with Dr. Michel Odent, a renowned French Obstetrician at Paramana Doula. As a member of Doula UK I have been through their assessment procedure and attained ‘Recognised Doula Status’.
My inspiration to become a Doula was influenced by my own experiences of raising a family. Following a degree and career in the textile industry, I took an extended break to start a family. Three children in close succession followed – wonderful and happy times but not without their challenges and hard work. I am delighted that the experience of this time has enabled me to work with new families, and am passionate about new mothers receiving the support they deserve during this life changing period.
My transition to working as a Postnatal Doula also followed a number of years running a small catering business, providing home cooked meals to busy local people. Good nutrition is essential during the Postnatal period and as such, an important role of my postnatal support is to ensure that you are able to enjoy good quality homecooked meals.
More recently, I have begun training in Shiatsu Bodywork Therapy. My own personal experience of receiving Shiatsu and its powerful benefits of healing and relaxation led me to this area of study. I have completed a Diploma in Shiatsu Skills for midwives and doulas, a one year certificate course in Shiatsu Bodywork Therapy, and am now continuing these studies to full practitioner level. I can offer treatments during pregnancy or postnatally, in addition to more general Shiatsu for other family members that might benefit.
