MY PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY
Strength in Support
I am a very experienced doula and mother to two beautiful, happy children. If you would like to get to know me better, please scroll down this page and get in touch. We can always meet online first and chat. Usually, the first hiring interview with my potential clients is via Zoom.
As you can read below I am an EFT practitioner, Matrix reimprinting and matrix birth reimprinting practitioner. If there are specific issues you would like to work on, please get in touch.
I am ready to support you during your conception, your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. As you can see below I do many things to help you feel supported and understood. This is your body, your baby, your birth and YOUR CHOICE.
I work with two very experienced doulas, Alexa Dean and Thando Zwane. Alexa, Thando, and I have been working together for many years, supporting our clients on their parenting journeys.
