About Me
Hello! I’m Sophie, a trained doula, qualified pre and postnatal yoga teacher and mama of one. I live in north Devon with my husband and gorgeous two-year-old boy.
I am passionate about helping you prepare for birth and providing you with the knowledge and tools to flourish on the other side. I believe that everyone deserves a positive birth experience and to feel supported during the transition to motherhood, and I am here to help you achieve this.
I am pleased to be able to draw upon my skills as a doula and pregnancy and postnatal yoga teacher to offer you multi-dimensional support to assist you from a physical, mental, emotional and practical perspective.
From my own birth experience and working with other women, I know that every birth is different and that everyone’s needs are unique when it comes to the level of preparation and support required. I offer birth and postnatal doula support, birth preparation with yoga, and pregnancy & postnatal yoga (both online and in person according to your needs), all of which can be tailored to your specific requirements.
More about me
My fascination with birth began when I conceived my son through IVF and had an extremely positive home birth at 41 with the support of a doula. It led me to appreciate the impact that our body, mind and environment can have upon birth and the difference that good preparation and support can make.
My experience of birth and early motherhood was transformative – and after many years of working as a human rights lawyer, I realised that my calling lay in supporting women during one of the most significant transitions in their lives – the journey to motherhood. I undertook specialist training in pregnancy and postnatal yoga and began teaching group and private classes. This evolved into helping women prepare holistically for birth – using a range of tools and techniques to support the mind, body and emotions. I realised that my role had naturally evolved into that of a doula, and keen to expand my knowledge, I undertook my formal doula training in 2023 with the incredible Kicki Hansard at Birth Bliss Academy.
I offer a free consultation so please do get in touch to discuss your needs and to see whether we would be a good match. It would be a privilege to work with you during this magical time!
