“Empowering, guiding and supporting you through the journey from birth to earth”
Hello, I’m Amy.
Congratulations on your pregnancy or recent birth, I am so happy you have found your way to me to explore how I can support you during this very special time in your life!
Your transition into parenthood, whether it's your first or subsequent baby is a sacred time in your life. As your doula, I become your source of unconditional support, love and safety from pregnancy through to the newborn days.
My promise to you is to not just be a guide but to honour your choices and give you the wisdom and knowledge I have, alongside evidence-based resources. I will empower you to make choices that feel aligned to you and your family, whilst being an advocate for you at any point of our journey together. As your doula, my commitment to you is to ensure you feel deeply held both emotionally and physically throughout this sacred journey.
My support is holistic, individual and spiritual. Birth is a rite of passage, one that I am very passionate about protecting and celebrating. Through timeless ceremonies such as Mother’s Blessings, Birth Ceremonies and finally Closing the Bones.
The Shamanic drum is also part of my work and can be used throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum if you wish. It is a very grounding sound, transporting you to a place of safety and strength.
Food is also a love affair of mine, nourishing you in the early weeks of motherhood is very close to my heart and something I truly believe compliments recovery and wellness.
The birth of your baby is a moment in your life which happens once, a moment which changes you forever and opens you up to all of who you are and who are yet to be.
Rest assured, mother-to-be, you are not alone on this journey. With me as your doula, you are held, supported and cherished every step of the way.
I've had the privilege of supporting numerous families across Surrey, West Sussex, Kent and South London.
The births of my two children were life-changing moments for me, but both very different.
My first birth with Teddy came with a lot of intervention, my voice not always being heard and decisions being made on my behalf. Following Teddy’s birth I started to have a huge interest in birth choices, support and services available during pregnancy and beyond.
Our youngest son, George was born in April 2020 at the start of the pandemic. My choice of a home birth was suspended and I had to rethink a lot of my options whilst navigating an ever changing maternity system. I was blessed with a physiological water birth in the birthing centre, it was my ‘home from home birth’. It was a time of great uncertainty, families having little to no support and new mothers having no one to sit and share a cup of something hot with and feel heard.
Following the birth of George, the postpartum period and the life changing experiences our family went through that made me realise I had to become a doula. I trained went on to train with Developing Doulas in 2021.
I am the founder of The Pregnancy Gathering and The Mother Gathering, a local pregnancy and new mother group which is a safe and supporting space for women to share their stories and journeys so far and finding your ‘tribe’ is an important part. The Gathering runs every month in Redhill, Surrey.
Birthing during the pandemic also showed me the importance of continuity of care, to have someone who knows you, cares for you and wants to uphold your wishes. This is what I can to give to you!
I am truly passionate about the fourth trimester and its importance. Honouring and celebrating you as a new parent through nourishment, holistic care and doing what I can to make the transition to parenthood that little bit easier.
Before becoming a doula I worked as a Cabin Crew Manager for British Airways.
This career gave me so many valuable life skills and I had the great pleasure of looking after people from all walks of life.
