The ability and wisdom demanded of us through birth and parenthood is innate. Guiding you to the reclamation of this power is at the core of what I do; empowering you to harness your inner champion and to retain it throughout your pregnancy, your birth, and beyond.

  • Pre-Conception

    Emotional and practical preconception support as you follow a path to parenthood. Access to evidence-based information with movement and nutrition strategies to support physiology throughout your unique conception journey.

    Whether you are approaching conception for the first time, suffering secondary infertility, are facing a loss or considering trying for a rainbow baby; whatever your circumstances I will provide judgment-free support, allowing you to explore your options and help you on your way to becoming a parent for the first time, or again.

  • Pregnancy

    Emotional and practical support through your pregnancy and on the run-up to your birth.

    Birth preparation, including education and access to information, help with birth preferences, bespoke movement and nourishment strategies to support your physiology and optimise your birthing experience.

    Application of biomechanics techniques and rebozo during your pregnancy to encourage optimal positioning and a more comfortable pregnancy.

  • Birth

    Emotional and physical support throughout your labour, I will hold space and advocate on your behalf when needed to allow you to remain in your birth bubble.

    I will offer biomechanic techniques in labour and birth to support physiology and allow for more comfortable birth and improved recovery.

    Rebozo, acupressure, birth pool hire and support for birthing partners also available.

  • Postnatal

    ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ and at the focus of my postnatal support is empowering you to be the brilliant parent you already are - by taking away some of the additional stressors and allowing you vital time for rest.

    Helping overnight, preparing nourishing meals to support your recovery, looking after older children or just simply holding little one to allow you time to shower - how I support you is really dependent on your individual needs!

the toolkit

  • Knowledge

    Signposting evidence-based information, giving you the tools to explore your options thoroughly, empowering you to make informed decisions about your care.

    Whether you choose to birth in the hospital or freebirth at home, I don’t care! What I do care about is that you are informed and involved in the choices you make throughout your pregnancy and birth.

  • Nourishment

    Employing nutrient-dense, flavour-first food to support your body and mind to function at it’s absolute best - without breaking the bank!

    Access to recipes, guidance on how to cook them and a big stash of freezer meals prepared by yours truly, to fuel you through birth to beyond.

  • Movement

    Cultivating sustainable and enjoyable movement habits, lending to a more straightforward pregnancy, greater function in labour and birth with improved postnatal experience.

    Trained in birth biomechanics and rebozo I will use techniques to optimise your physiology, allowing pregnancy, birth and your recovery to be quicker and more comfortable.

  • Support

    The people around you and how they can support you is important. We will look at how those close to you can help (trust me, people like being helpful!) and use this alongside physiological support from a chiropractor and osteopath; we are built to birth but it’s no secret that our modern way of living can have a knock-on effect and disrupt the balance we have in our bodies.

Birth is the beginning of everything else.

Rachel, Mum to Jackson

The support received from Joy throughout my pregnancy and fourth trimester has been invaluable and I cannot recommend her services enough … My story could have been so different, but I am certain that Joy's friendly and professional guidance and services were the biggest influence on turning my fear into excitement and guiding me through this part of my life.

Joy being our ‘pocket doula’ for us, during the pandemic, was something we couldn’t have done without, her reassurance and education meant we avoided unnecessary intervention and allowed us to have an empowered birth experience.

…joys light shines upon all the women she is blessed to nurture. To free them from all the stories theyve been told and take strength from the inner wisdom of their bodies.
