Unwavering Support for Your Birth and Beyond

Attending only births planned at home is a boundary I have set to protect myself from trauma. I have never birthed in a hospital setting so would not be the best birth keeper for you if this is your birth plan I would support you if you plan a home birth but then request to transfer. I have a deep belief in birth and birthing women, but most importantly in a mother's wise intuition, so if they felt a hospital transfer was necessary I would facilitate this to be as smooth and positive as possible.

A Birth Keeper provides emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, specifically for home births. 🏡 Unlike a midwife, I don’t perform medical tasks 🩺 monitor you/baby or make clinical decisions. My role is more holistic and intuitive, honoring & supporting your birthing process 🌿. Think of me as a blend of a guide and cheerleader 💫, offering hands-on support when you need it and holding space when you don’t.

I provide you with tailored support every step of the way! 🌿 During your birth I’ll offer continuous support, which can include emotional reassurance 💖, comfort measures like massage or helping you change positions or simply being a calm presence to hold space fory you. My job is to help you feel safe, empowered, & in control of your experience. 👐 I assist birth partners with the more physical aspects of a birth including setting up your birth space & pool ✨ offering you regular food & drink and managing the energy of those who enter your birth space. Before your birth we would have an open & honest conversation around your expectations & what level of support you wish for. I have supported women where I have not even been in the room for the birth & others where I have been holding her hand through every surge. Its all based on what YOU want!

Nope! 🚫 My role is non-medical—I’m here to offer emotional reassurance, physical comfort measures, and help create a calm, empowering birth environment ✨. All medical decisions are handled by you and with your midwife or healthcare provider 🩺. I can guide you to resources, provide antenatal education through the Antenatal Empowerment offering & be a listening ear through those tricky decisions📱

Absolutely! 😌 I get it—before my first birth, I was terrified too, especially after numerous early losses... But that fear shifted into empowerment with the right knowledge and mindset 💪. My antenatal sessions are designed to help you feel prepared and confident by covering the essentials with my three pillars: The Science Bit, The Mindset Bit, and The Practical Bit. We’ll work through your fears together! 💭🌸

I’m based in Oxfordshire (OX18) and travel up to 50 miles for in-person support 🚗. If you’re not sure if you’re within my travel range, just drop me a message, and we can chat about options! 😊 If you are outside of my travel range, I offer virtual birth keeper services via video calls, which include antenatal education, emotional support during labor, and postnatal guidance. So no matter where you are, I’ve got you covered! 😊

A freebirth (or unassisted birth) is when you choose to birth at home without a medical professional present. And yes! 🌿 I do support freebirths, I have had my own freebirth & attended other freebirths, including without a birth present. My role is to provide emotional and practical support, trusting in your body’s wisdom to birth your baby naturally. 💫

My prices are available on the page about each separate offering. 💖 I completely understand that investing in birth support feels like a big decision however your birth experience is a pivotal event for both you & your baby. Being knowledgeable & having a positive experience has ripple effects that travel through you, your family & even generations to come!! Rates of birth trauma & poor outcomes are depressingly high, I'd encourage you to find the funds to invest in birth education & support (even if that is not with me!) 🌸 You & your baby are worth it & worth making sacrifices for. As a Birth Keeper, I offer personalised, continuous support from the moment we start working together, through your pregnancy, birth, and into the postpartum period. I’m on call for you 24/7 in those critical weeks leading up to your birth, ready to be by your side whenever you need me—whether it’s day or night! 🌙 Beyond just being present for your birth, I provide extensive antenatal education, emotional reassurance, and practical help based on your unique needs and birth preferences. I’m also there for postnatal care, making sure you feel supported and nurtured in those early days as you adjust to life with your little one. 🤱 When you book my services, you're not just paying for the time spent with you during birth itself. You're investing in years of experience, training, and the ongoing support that comes with it. If cost is a concern, please feel free to reach out, and we can discuss potential payment plans or flexible options that could work for you. I want to make sure that those who truly want support are able to receive it.
