Birth & Postpartum Doula, Baby Massage Instructor, Psychologist

Covering: Dublin, Wicklow, Meath, Kildare

As a doula, I support families in preparing for and transitioning into parenthood or expanding their families, guiding them through the numerous challenges and questions that arise when welcoming a new baby into their lives.

Over the past 8 years, I've had the privilege of supporting all kinds of parents on their journey. Whether you're a complete newbie who's never held a baby or a seasoned pro with a full house, I've got your back. With my background as a psychologist and baby massage instructor, I bring an extra layer of support, helping you navigate the emotional rollercoaster of parenthood and develop a beautiful bond with your little one(s).

From mums facing mental health struggles to dads finding their footing in the labour ward or parents adjusting to life with a preemie baby, I'm no stranger to navigating difficulties alongside families. Drawing from my expertise in trauma-informed care I gained through my thesis on birth trauma and my years of experience in supporting families, I provide compassionate care to navigate any challenges you may encounter. I've supported breastfeeding and bottle-feeding mums, exclusive pumpers, co-sleepers, and crib enthusiasts. I've worked with international families far from home and others who don't have the support they need from their families. Having worked with people from various cultural backgrounds, I understand and respect the importance of supporting them in their own unique way, too.

I adapt my support at every session to meet your individual needs: I want to make sure I meet you where you are, not where someone else thinks you should be. I'm here to empower you with the understanding, confidence, tools, and knowledge you need. My approach is largely about acceptance and personalization, ensuring your unique needs and lifestyle are at the forefront because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all in parenting. I also like bringing lightness into your home, so you'll likely enjoy working with me if you appreciate humor.

When it comes to postpartum care, I also enjoy cooking for the families I work with, whether it's following their favourite recipes or improvising based on what they have in the fridge, and I make sure to prepare meals that can be enjoyed fresh or frozen for your convenience.

From parents who want to follow every rule in the book to those who prefer to dance to their own rhythm, I'm here to help you find your groove and make this experience uniquely yours.
