“In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give birth to new possibilities within ourselves.”
– Myla & Jon Kabat-Zinn
A bit of background...
Nine years ago, just before I became pregnant with my own daughter, I had the privilege to do my first doula course with Conscious Birthing in the UK. Shortly after, I travelled to Hawaii to intern with the holistic midwife Darby Partner. Those two experiences became instrumental in how I approached my pregnancy and birth. And so, I was very much a woman who knew what she wanted when the time came to birth my child.
Pregnancy is the time in a parent's life when they get a glimpse of what the future will hold: many crucial decisions they'll have to make on behalf of their child(-ren).
Part of my work as a doula is to provide parents with reliable information that helps them navigate all the choices around pregnancy and birth. I aim to empower families to make choices true to themselves and to choose the birth they want.
The other part is being 100% present for them on this journey by giving them my unfaltering and unbiased support.

'Faye was really excellent. I really feel that she has a calling for what she does. Her food was nourishing, her hands healing and her listening skills were very empathetic. She was very respectful of my wishes and worries and didn't consider anything too small or silly as a worry of mine.' G.D.
