I’m a mother of three, based in Edinburgh, and I’m currently training as a doula under mentorship.
Having had two home births and one hospital birth myself, I’ve seen first-hand just how unique every birth can be, and how much the right support, knowledge and environment can shape the experience. I was fortunate to have a doula at two of my births so I know the difference their compassionate and continuous support can make. This has shaped my passion for offering that same care and reassurance to others.
Before training as a doula, I worked as a professional chef. Through this, I developed skills that translate beautifully into the doula role. As I’m used to caring for others, paying close attention to their needs, and staying calm when things become busy or unpredictable.
Having lived in several different countries, I also understand what it can feel like to be away from family and a strong support network. I therefore know how valuable it can be, when you’re in this situation, to have someone alongside you through the transformative experience of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.
In July 2026, I completed the Conscious Birthing birth and postnatal course and decided to take the next step towards supporting others on their journeys. I’m now looking forward to deepening my knowledge of birth work, enhancing my skills, and connecting with others as I continue to broaden my experience.
