“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.”
— Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
From the first longing for a baby, through conception, pregnancy, birth, loss and early motherhood, these experiences touch every part of us—body, heart, relationships, identity and spirit.
You are here because you want to meet them consciously.
You want to nurture your health, understand your body and give yourself and your baby the strongest possible foundations. You may be looking for yoga, massage, bodywork or a community of women. You may be preparing for birth, questioning the usual pathway or gathering the courage to make choices that feel truly your own.
Perhaps you already know exactly what you want. Perhaps you can simply feel that something is missing.
I offer space to slow down, listen and prepare more deeply—with honest information, embodied wisdom, practical support, nourishing touch, meaningful connection and care that recognises the whole woman.
You do not need to arrive with all the answers. You only need to know that this journey matters.
About Emma
My journey into this work began 18 years ago, when I had my first baby with the support of an independent midwife — a wise woman who supported me as I navigated my pregnancy and birth as powerful, instinctive, deeply human and spiritual experiences.
Her steady, continuous presence offered far more than simply information or screening for problems. She showed me what becomes possible when a woman is truly known and walked beside throughout pregnancy. Her quiet, steady presence and trust, helped me step into a stronger, more confident version of myself — not just as a mother, but as a woman becoming.
Birth set me on a winding path of learning, questioning and gathering deep wisdom. For nearly two decades, I have continued to deepen my practice while walking beside women through conception, pregnancy, birth, feeding, loss, postnatal recovery and the emotional layers of motherhood.
Alongside degree-level study in antenatal education, years of teaching with the National Childbirth Trust, and training in babywearing, pregnancy and postnatal yoga, self-hypnosis, doula support, bodywork and birth trauma support, my work is rooted in something simple:
Helping women return to their bodies, trust their instincts and make choices that are truly their own — while receiving the continuity, preparation and care they were never meant to navigate pregnancy and birth without.
Nearly 20 years of experience. One deeply personal relationship.
Women come to me because they want more than information or a single technique. They want to be truly known by an experienced woman who can hold the whole picture—their body, nervous system, relationships, choices, fears, hopes and the deeper meaning this journey holds for them.
I have supported hundreds women and families through conception, pregnancy, birth, feeding, loss, postnatal recovery and the emotional transition into motherhood. All of them individual - no two stories alike!
My work brings together university-level antenatal education, years of teaching with the NCT, doula and birthkeeper support, pregnancy yoga, hypno-yoga, bodywork, birth-trauma support, birth physiology, many years of running a busy community sling library, understanding of the maternity system from years of advocacy, and the deep traditional wisdom that comes from travelling the world in search of the wise ones.
With me your care is anything but fragmented. The way your body feels, the environment around you, your family stories, your partner’s preparation, your nervous system and the choices you are facing are understood as parts of one whole journey.
I bring deep experience without taking your authority away. You remain at the centre, while I help you gather the knowledge, practical skills, confidence and trusted support you need around you.
