My name is Emily (she/her) and I’m a certified Birth & VBAC Doula. I love to read, lift weights, listen to podcasts and walk by the water. I’m a mum of three children and am married to a Swede. Originally from the UK I spent an amazing 13 years in The Netherlands and am now based in Stockholm.

I love supporting pregnant people in taking the driver’s seat in their own experience. It inspires me to see people really think about their birth and about all the decisions they make along the way.

I believe that birth can be truly empowering and I’d love to support you on your unique journey.

I will be there to help you and your birth partner prepare for both the emotional and physical aspects of labour and birth as well as being there to offer physical support.

I can support you in finding evidence-based resources so that you can make informed choices but most importantly, I am there to support you emotionally. I will be there for you during pregnancy, birth and beyond and will bring with me an unwavering belief in you and your ability to birth your baby, whatever that means for you.

Every family is different with wide range of wants and needs. At the same time, I believe that doula support is for everyone, whatever your budget.

I hope that by offering a range of services I can better meet those needs.
