Hi, I am Kerry

I am a mother, wife, friend, doula…

I have been supporting families across Nottinghamshire for the last 5 years. First as a birth trauma practitioner, then as an antenatal and hypnobirthing teacher and finally as a doula.

Before I became a doula (a role I cherish and love), I worked in the insurance industry as a yacht underwater. I have always known that I wanted to work in a more supportive role, one that I could make a difference. I had not set out to become an underwriter and simply fell into it after studying law at University (I think that’s where my passion for advocating others and advocacy skills evolved).

I have always been drawn to helping friends and family members, whether I was advocating for them or supporting them as they had their babies.it was something I loved to do and came naturally to me.

Fast forward to having my own daughter, I completely fell in love with preparing for birth. Feeling informed helped me to feel empowered and supported me as I navigated a redundancy, COVID lock down and HG (Hyperemesis Gravidarum).

I experienced a really empowering birth, whilst it didn’t quite go to plan and a lot happened and needed help processing, it set me on a path to becoming a doula. There was things that I wish I had known, support I wish I had and I couldn’t imagine other women and their partners not having that support or knowledge.

My birth set me on this beautiful journey to becoming a doula and I am forever grateful for the families I get to work with.

I love supporting women and birthing people. I come from a family of strong women and I am always in awe of the women I meet and support.

Birth isn’t just a a moment in time, it is a memory that will live with you forever. You deserve to have the most positive pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey possible, filled with love, care, support and joy.
