Feel calm, informed and deeply supported through pregnancy, birth and early motherhood.

You don't have to navigate this life-changing transition alone.

I'm Ellie, a trauma-informed birth and postnatal doula, Matrescence coach and yoga teacher. I offer compassionate, personalised support to help you feel more confident, connected and held — whatever your birth choices and wherever your journey takes you.

Based in Bath | Supporting families across Bath, Somerset, Wiltshire, South Gloucestershire & Dorset

You deserve to feel supported — not just prepared.

  • Pregnancy and birth can bring excitement, anticipation and joy. They can also bring fear, uncertainty, overwhelm and a whole host of questions.

    Perhaps you're:

    • Feeling frightened or anxious about birth

    • Carrying difficult feelings from a previous birth

    • Unsure about your options and wanting to make informed decisions

    • Planning a home birth, hospital birth or caesarean

    • Wanting your partner to feel confident and involved

    • Finding yourself overwhelmed by all the information and choices

    • Wondering how you'll navigate the transition into motherhood

    • Simply longing to have someone completely in your corner

    Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to have it all figured out.

    You are welcome exactly as you are.

“We highly recommend Ellie to anyone planning a birth. Her tailored sessions were very informative and helped us prepare for birth. Her knowledge, experience and personal warmth made us feel very supported and gave us the confidence we needed for our wonderful homebirth"

-Sophie and Jake
