Birth support

I provide care for women looking to reclaim physiological birth as a rite of passage. This may start preconception. I work to support women to confidently navigate towards their journey to birth. Rebirthing themselves into motherhood (for the first or subsequent times).

I often work with women birthing outside the UK NHS system, or outside of ‘guidelines’.  The women I work with understand the current challenges in maternity services, part of our work is navigating this and calling in the care that they desire. 

I bring back ceremony, ritual and loving support to your care. 

You can be held, nurtured and supported to explore, plan and prepare your mind, body and soul for birthing your baby. I use many modalities which I have collated over the years as a birthworker and priestess to offer an expansive service.

How can I work with you?

We work together online or in person led by your needs. We start  through mind, learning about birth and aspects of care that are relevant to you and your situation, understanding the mind body connections. 

We work through body, exploring movement, physiology, biomechanics (I am an advanced practitioner). 

We may work to release trauma and acknowledge, hold and work through your fears. 

We connect deeply to your heart, desires and your fire and drive. Understanding your innate wisdom and that of baby through many different practices, craft and plants. 

We spend time in joy together in your pregnancy, honouring your body, the growth and your baby. Experiencing and holding all the emotions as sacred and need on your spiral journey. 

As with all my work I draw on all my training and experience over a decade of birth work and attending births. We can also cover postpartum, fourth trimester and feeding your baby.

Online 1 hour with me to delve in to any area or concern around planning your birth or fourth trimester. In advance I ask you send a list of areas you are interested in and questions you have, we will then get through as many as we can.

This session is followed up by a detailed email with further reading, listening or consideration.

In person two hour sessions within 30 minutes from Biggleswade or a mutually agreeable location this is a chance to deep dive in to areas that are important for you to prepare for a positive and powerful birth.

Maybe you want to learn about freebirth, home birth, physiology, biomechanics, hypnobirthing or you are being offered a specific pathway of care which you’d like to talk through with an independent and experienced birth professional. This is the space. You will be asked to send me a list of areas in order of importance and we will cover what we can in the time.

After our session you will receive an email with further exploration, reading and practices to support you.

Working as a team to offer a package of complete holding and care.

My own experience as a Doula and birth worker of over ten years coupled with my co-birthworker Oriole Howe.

Oriole trained as a midwife and has spent her whole career spanning over 15 years in midwifery. She began by spending time at De La Luz in Spain learning traditional midwifery and with women practice before working in the NHS. In 2023 she deregistered with the NMC knowing she could not offer the care she knew women deserved through her current role.

We now work together providing a completely holistic birthkeeper package, coming with expansive, varied experience, gifts and wisdom to offer you a thoroughly magical birth support team. 

Please message me or call to ask about availability. Please note we only take one birth client per month. 

If you would like to discuss our services please do reach out and message me to book in a call with us both. 

If you would like to talk through any of my offerings please get in touch.

Please note I have a pot to the side for those in financial hardship to access if needed so please reach out if this is you.

I also accept exchange of goods and services as a method of payment if the mutual exchange is acceptable.

If you would like to talk through any of my offerings please get in touch.

Jess has had a huge influence on my connection with my own body and our baby. I felt incredibly in sync with our daughter from the minute I looked into her eyes and our beautiful birth experience and the confidence in my mothering abilities has been hugely influenced by Jess’s support.

If you would like to talk through any of my offerings please get in touch.

Maybe there’s a sense of change coming, perhaps a birth, job change, cyclical change in your body or a need and want to connect to nature and yourself.

If you are looking for support in navigating cycles, of birth, life, nature, to start or continue your journey of radical remembering, welcome!

I’m excited for you to explore and journey.
