My work in this area involves promoting, restoring and maintaining health using natural modalities. Drawing from my training in homeopathy, herbalism, nutrition and bodywork, I specialise in promoting optimal health throughout the spectrum of pregnancy, childbirth and post-natal healing. Self-care is paramount as we begin to maximise control and belief in our bodies and I place a great emphasis on teaching women basic tools for looking after and understanding their own bodies.  

​

I have a passion for the transformative power women hold within their bodies, and for supporting this physically, emotionally and spiritually. Women who have birthed ‘well’, however they perceive that, are invested with a power and self-belief that they carry forward in their lives.

I offer a bespoke programme of care for women during pregnancy to minimise pregnancy ailments and help the body and the mind deal with the particular challenges of growing a new person.

During labour I offer continuous support with strategies for physical, emotional and informational empowerment. I can also remind you of your awesome capacity when you may have forgotten it is there. You can read more about my doula services here.

In the post-partum phase I can support the recovery process with a bespoke programme of care. A woman who is well-supported in her recuperation from birth is best placed to be a responsive and happy mother. To this end, we can work together to create a space where your physical, emotional and psychological health is prioritised at a time when it easy to get lost in caring for your baby. I can also help you to work towards a holistic and responsive way of dealing with infant sleep which optimises your and your baby's psychological well-being.

Employing the benefits of naturopathic modalities including homeopathy, herbal medicine, post partum bodywork, vaginal steaming and restorative relaxation work. I can help you to navigate those early days of parenthood . I am trained to perform the beautiful ‘Closing the Bones’ post-natal massage which is intended to help restore integrity to the pelvis, hips and abdominal organs after giving birth and establish tone and elasticity to the musculature and overlying tissues.

I also see it as a way of restoring women to the gifts of ceremony sadly missing from our western lifestyles.
