Birth Doula in Leamington Spa & Warwickshire
Congratulations on your pregnancy. I love that you’re looking for an extra layer of support as you prepare for birth.
Whether you’re birthing within the NHS or with independent midwifery, I help you understand your options and find balanced, evidence-based information, so your decisions are based on your values and priorities. I work alongside your midwives, as a familiar face who knows you and your why, however your birth unfolds.
Birth support across Leamington Spa, Warwick and Kenilworth, and further afield including Coventry and Stratford-upon-Avon. I support a small number of births each year, so it’s worth getting in touch early.

Natalie’s support, gentle guidance and thorough care was immeasurable for us, and played a huge part in the positivity and confidence I felt during pregnancy and the calmness and empowerment I experienced for the birth itself.

Questions mums often ask
Something else on your mind? Ask me on a free call.
Your midwife is responsible for your clinical care. I don’t give medical advice or care. I’m there for continuous emotional, physical and informational support, alongside your midwife.
I support you however your birth unfolds, including planned and unplanned caesareans, inductions and changes of plan.
Ideally by the middle of your pregnancy, so we have time for your antenatal sessions. I support a small number of births each year, so earlier is better, but do ask if you’re further along.
I offer birth support across Leamington Spa, Warwick and Kenilworth, and further afield including Coventry, Stratford-upon-Avon and everywhere in between! If you’re not sure, just ask.
I am an active part of my wonderful doula community and we often back each other up when needed. I match my clients with the most appropriate back up as and when it’s required and we’ve agreed.
