You were made for this. Your birth, your way.
If you’re pregnant right now, chances are you’re feeling at least one of these:
– You’re already being told what you “should” do
– You’re scared of being pressured into induction or interventions
– You want someone to actually explain what’s happening with your body
– You want a physiological birth but don’t feel supported
– You had a traumatic birth before and refuse to repeat it
– Your partner wants to help but doesn’t know how
– Everyone is giving you advice, but none of it feels grounded
And really, deep down you’re thinking:
I just want a birth where I feel safe, supported, and in control.
Birth Keeping is for you if…
✓ You want a vaginal birth and need someone who can help you prepare for it realistically
✓ You want to avoid unnecessary interventions like inductions, epidurals, or C-sections unless they’re truly needed
✓ You want to know how labour actually works — what to do, what not to do, and what to expect
✓ You want your partner to feel confident and useful, not scared or frozen
✓ You want clear strategies for coping with labour naturally (positions, breathwork, herbs, mindset, environment, etc.)
✓ You’ve had a previous traumatic or medicalized birth and want a completely different experience this time
✓ You want support navigating your provider, hospital policies, and knowing your rights
✓ You want consistent emotional support — not rushed 8-minute appointments
✓ You want someone who can help you understand your body, your options, and your power
✓ You simply don’t want to do this alone
If you want a birth that feels clear, supported, and truly your own — this is for you.

What My Clients Are Saying
Why work with me as your Birth Keeper?
Let’s be real: birth is powerful, transformative, and deeply personal — and it shouldn’t be dictated by anyone else’s rules. I want you to make your own choices, trust your body, and use your voice to create the birth experience you desire.
I’m a mom, a Clinical Herbalist, and a woman who’s walked her own natural healing path. I practice what I preach, and I believe your intuition is your greatest guide. You know what’s best for you and your family, and I’m here to help you bring that vision to life.
Natural birth is incredible, but it’s not easy — achieving a vaginal birth without unnecessary interventions requires preparation, support, and guidance. As your Birth Keeper, I help you navigate the system, prepare your body and mind, and create the conditions for a safe, empowered, natural birth. Together, we make your choices possible — on your terms, with confidence, and without surrendering your sovereignty.
You’ve heard of Doula, you’ve heard of a Midwife, but what’s a Birth Keeper?
A Birth Keeper is the modern-day version of the embodiment of the wise women who came before us - the ones who sat beside labouring mothers, offering care, wisdom, and basket of herbs to ease the journey. A Birth Keeper trusts in the body. We believe in the power of women, especially in pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
The term Birth Keeper is more than a title. It speaks to a deep responsibility - a stewardship of women’s health, a keeper of the ancient ways. It means honouring birth as it was always meant to be: natural, sacred, and in harmony with the rhythms of life. It’s not just a practice, it’s a collective responsibility we share as women - to protect, sustain, and pass down these traditions for generations to come.
My role as a Birth Keeper is deeply holistic. I offer emotional, physical, educational, and spiritual support. I hold space for how beautiful and amazing this journey is and I am honoured to watch it unfold naturally - without force, without unnecessary intervention.
What makes a Birth Keeper different is this: I don’t stand above you as the expert. I walk beside you as a sister. I am here to serve you, not save you. I guide, nurture, and remind you of what you already know.
Yes, I also understand the physiology of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, but more than that - I honour that you know your body and baby better than anyone else ever could. My role is to hold space for you to sit with that truth, to embody it fully, and to step into your power as you transition into Motherhood.
How I Support You at Birth
Regardless of your package choice, the way I show up for your birth is the same.
I bring my full presence. I bring my whole self. I bring deep devotion to your experience.
From the moment you invite me in, I want to walk with you, not just on your birth day, but in the days and weeks leading up to it. If you’re moving through fear, excitement, dreams, or doubt - I want to hear it! You’re not alone, and you don’t need to carry it alone. I encourage you to fill me in as things arise. Invite me into your process.
We will stay in touch over text in the final stretch, and if you’re local (in Peterborough), I can even come check on you during early labour. I’ll bring a calm presence, offer reassurance, work with your body and your energy, and help you settle into your rhythm before heading out again. Once your labour shifts into an active pattern, I’ll return! And from that point, I’m all yours.
When I’m there, I’m fully there. I offer hands—on support, comfort measures, counter pressure, grounding touch, head and foot massage, and tricks and tips to keep you in your body and in the zone.
I work closely with partners, family, and your chosen support team so you feel held on every side. If medical decisions arise,I help you anchor into your vision and values. I protect your hormones, your emotional space, and your authority. I help you ask questions, understand your options, and make choices from a place of clarity, not fear.
Above all, I am there to witness you, to celebrate you, and to walk beside you as you cross the threshold into motherhood.
When I leave your birth and how I stay in touch…
Once your baby is born, your placenta has arrived, and you’ve had a chance to snuggle in, feed your baby, and begin resting with your family I start to slowly step back. There’s no specific timeline, but I tend to leave when I can feel that you’re safe, cared for, and ready to shift into that private sacred bubble.
Sometimes it’s an hour or two after birth. Sometimes it’s longer. If you’re still in active medical care, and everyone feels well supported by your team, I may hug goodbye, and slip away with your blessing knowing you’re in good hands.
No matter when I leave, my care continues.
I‘ll check in with you within 24 hours, and we’ll connect again at your first postpartum visit. If something changes, if you have to transfer, if you have any questions, or if anything feels hard, I want to know. You can text, send a voice note, or call. Even if I’m resting, I will get back to you as soon as I can. If it’s urgent, you can absolutely call.
Your birth support doesn’t end when I walk out the door. I’m still in your corner.
A note about our postpartum visits
Whether you choose R E A D Y or R O O T E D, your postpartum visits are the same. We sit together. We debrief about your birth so you can continue integrating your experience. We talk through whatever is on your heart - healing, breastfeeding, emotions, baby stuff, identity shifts, sleep, family, etc. It’s not about folding laundry or tiding up. It’s about caring for YOU as the mother. Baby’s are adorable and I will snuggle that little one, but I’m here to make sure you’re good.
When you invest in R O O T E D you are choosing to extend our time together with three monthly visits after your baby is born, each up to 90 minutes. These visits are especially valuable for first-time parents, and for those who anticipate a more vulnerable postpartum period due to anxiety, depression, or past trauma.
And the care doesn’t stop there. You still have me through our WhatsApp chat for those three months - whether you need emotional support, guidance, or healing, or help with something practical like breastfeeding support, recover, or the “is this normal?”. I can even bring you herbs if needed! Know I will be checking in on your and that knowing you are not alone can be deeply reassuring and set you up for success as a new/new-again mom.
Our last visit is not a goodbye, but a see you later because our relationship is never truly over. This intimate experience is forever on both of our hearts and you are a part of the Radical family now! I’m always just a phone call or text away.
