Hello,
I'm Jessie and I'm so pleased you are here.
Are you looking for practical, emotional or informational support during your pregnancy and/or postnatally? I am a postnatal doula and birth preparation guide, I would love to help you with this.. Read more on how I can help: Services and Fees
Why might a doula be helpful?
Whether this is your first baby or you are already a parent, giving birth and welcoming a new soul to the world is a life-changing rite of passage. It is often undervalued by the modern pressure of "getting back to normal" at a time when gently adjusting to this new normal with love and finding your way is so important.
Having a doula by your side who knows how to support and nurture mothers. babies and families through this transition, offering the honour, compassion, sensitivity and respect it deserves is so valuable.
I provide bespoke support for each unique family, taking time to learn about you, your stories and preferences so that I can fully support you and hear what you really need and want.
What can I tell you about myself?
I am passionate about gently guiding mothers to make space for their own innate wisdom, instinctive abilities and power, to trust themselves to birth and mother in their own unique way. I love to use ritual, ceremony, massage, aromatherapy, herbs and nourishing food made with love to help heal the body, mind and spirit. I am often found cooking or baking and being half Greek, I am always eager to leave bellies and hearts full.
Nurturing others has brought me joy for as long as I can remember. From preparing food or making a plant remedy to the simple art of listening wholly and openly; it makes my heart sing.
Experiencing my own two children arrive earth-side really sparked a fascination of and a deep respect for fertility, pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Luckily for me, being a doula allows me to utilise these two loves and it is my honour to support and nurture mothers, babies and their families.
I am continually learning and developing through my local community of birth workers, my mentor Eva Greenslade, the support network of Conscious Birthing and other avenues of continuous professional development.
