About Me

Hello, I am Kerry!

I am an independent trauma informed birth & postnatal doula, hypnobirthing teacher and birth trauma practitioner.

I live in Nottingham (although I am originally from London) with my husband, my wonderful strong minded independent nearly 4 year old and my crazy dog called Ray!

I am a book worm, love to bake & cook (my happy place), crafting ( I will try anything) and I enjoy a lovely glass of red with a cheese board!

I loved preparing for birth, hypnobirthing gave me a sense of purpose, the more I learned the more I wanted to know. Birth changed me forever, I fell in love with birth and everything involved and it showed me what it was to feel empowered.

I just knew that I wanted to help others preparing for birth, to feel supported and informed. I trained as a hypnobirthing instructor with The Birth Uprising and started my journey on the road to working in the birth world.

I have loved every minute of it and have been working with couples across Nottingham for the last two years. I have met and supported some wonderful couples who still keep in contact with with me, I feel so lucky!

I am now offering birth and postnatal doula support across Nottingham and virtually having completed my training with the Original Birth Connect.

My passion is support; helping parents to feel supported, educated and empowered when it comes to pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester.

I care about what you want and it is important to me that you feel safe, supported, listened to and heard.

“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength”
