About Jenny

Everything shifted when I became pregnant with my first baby. I knew life would change, of course, but I had no idea just how much. Not long after his birth, I discovered my true calling - birth became my passion, and supporting others through this journey became my purpose.

At the start of that pregnancy, I believed birth was something to endure, a painful ordeal where dignity would be left at the door. That’s what most of us are led to believe, isn’t it?

A friend introduced me to Hypnobirthing a few months in, and my curiosity got the better of me. I began reading birth stories, and for the first time, I heard birth described as joyful, empowering - even romantic. It seemed so obvious, yet I clearly needed the reminder.

Both me and my partner found the next few months transformative. We immersed ourselves in knowledge, explored our choices, and practiced together. We felt calm, informed, and, more than anything, excited. Bill, once a skeptic, became a Hypnobirthing enthusiast, and to this day, he still is. The birth of our son Luca was magical; full of joy and power.

It felt as though we’d uncovered a hidden truth about what birth could be. I walked away from Luca’s birth feeling like I could conquer the world. Those early newborn months, bathed in that energy, were some of the most blissful of my life.

In 2019, I welcomed my daughter Freida into the world, born at home, in euphoric, speedy fashion just before the midwife arrived. And in 2024, our third little bird, Sylvie, joined us in a golden freebirth, surrounded only by her family and our wonderful doula. Each of my births, while unique, have been deeply positive and life-altering, reshaping me at the core.

I completed my doula training with Kaz Woodbury at Continuum Doulas in 2022 and proudly offer a personalised journey of care. I am also recognised by Doula UK, the leading organization for doulas in the country.

As a doula and antenatal teacher, my work is about creating continuity and connection. I’m here to walk alongside and support you every step of the way on your path to parenthood.

It is my hope that I can help you look toward your birth with confidence and joy, and have the powerful, transformative experience you deserve.

I live in Bath with my husband, our son, daughters and cats.
