Birth support that’s grounded, trauma-aware, and soul-led.

Birth is birth, whether at home, in a hospital, in a birth centre, or via Caesarean section. Every journey into parenthood is valid, powerful, and deserving of deep respect and support.

I stand alongside you, holding space for your choices, ensuring you feel empowered, informed, and emotionally supported. My role is never to impose opinions or oppose medical guidance but to provide research-informed support, helping you navigate your journey with clarity and confidence.

If you’re seeking informed, holistic, and research-backed birth support, I would love to walk this journey with you.

As a PhD student in Business Management, I am conducting a research study exploring birthing parents’ experiences of maternity care in Scotland and am seeking participants to share their insights. If you have given birth in Scotland, your experiences can help shape future maternity care practices.

This study aims to explore best practices and operational standards. By integrating perspectives from both maternity care and operations management, we hope to bridge the gap between best practice guidelines (such as WHO and NICE standards) and their practical implementation. The research will also expand the Quality Maternal and Newborn Care (QMNC) framework through an intersectional lens, considering how operational challenges impact care provision across diverse groups.
