the short story
about me
I am a proud mother of six grown children and a proud grandmother of four. Being part of their births and watching them grow has been one of my greatest joys.Alongside this, I spent a decade working with the NHS on a postnatal ward, supporting mothers and babies with everything from feeding challenges to early arrivals. I bring this experience, along with a deep sense of care, to every family I support.

Cassie
birth and post natal
From the very beginning of my pregnancy, Judith held me with such warmth, compassion and care. Pregnancy brought up so many fears for me, and at every stage she met them with genuine curiosity, deep understanding and complete acceptance. Never once did she minimise what I was feeling or make me question my experience. Instead, she helped me feel seen, reassured and more connected to my own strength.When my birth became long, complex and ultimately traumatic, Judith dropped everything and travelled from Cornwall to London to be with us. I don't think I will ever be able to put into words what her presence meant to me and George. In one of the most vulnerable moments of our lives, she was calm, steady and deeply attuned. She advocated for my wishes when I couldn't, offered unwavering emotional support to both of us and somehow created moments of safety and tenderness in the middle of an incredibly difficult birth. Looking back, I cannot imagine going through that experience without her by our side.Her care did not end once our son was born. Spending time with us in those precious first days as we found our feet as a family was invaluable. She gently cared for us, encouraged us, created space for us to rest and process everything we had been through, and helped us begin this new chapter feeling held rather than alone.Judith is an extraordinary doula. Her knowledge and professionalism are exceptional, but it is her presence that makes her truly special. She has a rare ability to help you feel completely safe, deeply understood and wholly trusted in your own journey. If you are looking for someone to walk alongside you through pregnancy, birth and beyond, I cannot recommend Judith highly enough. She has left a lasting mark on our family's story, and we will always be profoundly grateful for her.
