I was born in Estonia and came to the UK in 2009 to study Marketing with Psychology. For years I worked in marketing - questioning everything, absorbing everything, always sensing there was something more meaningful waiting.

​

Then I met my husband (purest of souls, hands-on dad, RNLI guy) and when we were expecting - I immersed myself in learning about birth. I had two beautiful, natural births - just under twelve months apart. My experience felt so different from the fear and drama I saw around me that I barely knew what to do with it.

​

I was afraid to talk about it. Afraid of upsetting women whose experiences had been harder. So I stayed quiet - carrying something I knew could help others, but not yet brave enough to share it.

​

It took therapy and years of deep personal work to understand why.

Becoming a mother without nearby family, with two babies so close together, stripped everything back. It brought every unresolved thing I had ever carried right to the surface. Through that process I learned something important about myself. I am a highly sensitive person. I live intuitively and feel deeply. What once felt like too much became my greatest asset.

And I reconfirmed something I had been carrying for a while - that I wanted to give this world something more meaningful than a marketing career. So I trained as a birth and postnatal doula. And I haven't stopped learning since.

​

​

My philosophy was shaped by the people I was lucky enough to learn from personally:

​

Michel Odent - obstetrician and pioneer of undisturbed birth, who introduced birthing pools and home-like birth rooms to maternity hospitals in the 1970s.

Liliana Lammers - one of the original founders of Doula UK, with over 20 years of experience and a home-to-hospital transfer rate of less than 5%. Her work continues the legacy of Michel Odent and sits at the core of everything I believe.

Eva Rose - the world's first birth photographer and a birth doula who has spent decades learning how different cultures approach and support birth.

Joy Horner - midwife for 21 years, independent home birth midwife for 16, now a sacred birth keeper and perinatal consultant.

​

These people didn't just teach me about birth. They showed me what it looks like when a woman is truly trusted.

​

 

Today I support women across Hampshire, West Sussex and online - through birth preparation, labour and the tender weeks that follow.

​

I also volunteer with Doulas Without Borders, a charity providing care and advocacy to families living in disadvantage. And alongside other birth workers I helped create The Village - a free holistic community for parents and women-led businesses.

 

​

I won't pretend I have everything figured out.

But I know what it feels like to find someone who gets you - and that's what I want to be for you.

If something here resonates, let's chat.
