I became a doula after a successful career as a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist in the NHS. This means I have many years experience working alongside different medical and clinical teams both in hospital an in the community. My role was to offer information and options, to listen and advocate for people's wishes, and elevate their voices, rather than making decisions for people, and I carry this forward in my doula work today. With my clinical background combined with my caring, calm nature I offer a balance between information-based and heart-led support.
When I was pregnant I was faced with a 'high risk' label. I decided that I wanted my pregnancies and births to be on my own terms, so I became a complete birth nerd, advocated for what I needed, and built a team (including a doula) and a plan which helped me experience two wonderful, powerful births. This journey gave me the best start to motherhood, and set me on the beautiful path to becoming a birth and postnatal doula.
After a few years as a birth worker, I felt drawn to also offer End of Life Doula support, which truly blends my experience, knowledge, skills and qualities during the difficult journey following a life changing diagnosis.
My support will help you:
Feel truly supported and seen throughout your journey.
Build confidence, calm, and inner trust.
Navigate the maternity or medical system with someone who truly understands it from both sides.
Experience your rite of passage on your own terms.

Birth Doula
"Bonnie was highly recommended to me from my sister who also had Bonnie as her doula. I’m a first time mum and I was anxious and scared about my journey ahead. Even in a difficult situation I felt strong, I knew what I wanted in my labour, had the courage to speak up knowing Bonnie & my partner were by my side. Not only did she provide knowledge but also love and care like I knew her for years prior. We brought our beautiful daughter into the world as peacefully as possible"

Birth Doula
Bonnie is an incredible doula and wonderful person to have by your side through pregnancy and birth. She helped us navigate antenatal challenges with information to make decisions right for me and my baby, with caring words and confidence at all the right moments. Bonnie was calm and reassuring, has a great sense of humour, and was always led by what I needed which absolutely helped create a beautiful home birth experience with memories that will last a life time.

Postnatal Doula
I was fortunate enough to have Bonnie as my postnatal doula after the birth of my little girl, as well as to have some very helpful conversations with Bonnie during my pregnancy. From the moment I met her I knew she was the doula for me. She has a warmth and air of calm about her that put me at ease instantly. She brought delicious food, did jobs about the house, supported me on a challenging feeding journey and held space for me during my transition to motherhood.

Birth Doula
We reached out to Bonnie after a previous difficult birth . Bonnie helped us to prepare, and create a thorough birth plan to avoid another traumatic birth. Nothing was too much trouble and there was no judgement on any of our wishes. With the birth prep, and hypnobirthing we felt better prepared to bring our third son into the world and I felt relaxed and calm leading up to the birth. Having Bonnie at the birth gave me and my husband reassurance that we would be listened to and our wishes acknowledged. As a result we had a beautiful healing birth and having Bonnie on our journey was the best decision we made.

Birth Doula
We knew we wanted to book Bonnie with the aim of having a more positive birth experience this time around. Bonnie made sure I went into labour feeling prepared, was a fountain of knowledge when having medical team discussions (baby was late and we were discussing plans) and supported us to have the most AMAZING birth - where I was in control and able to encourage my body to do its thing! We really couldn’t have asked for any more.

Birth Prep
My wife and I recently completed a hypnobirthing course with Bonnie. I went into this with a strong desire to support my wife but also feeling somewhat cynical because of the name. Bonnie very quickly put me at ease and alleviated fears of this being "hippy woo woo"! She is highly knowledgeable and has a warm and calming manne. She clearly explained the facts of labour, including the hormones that drive each stage, and what I can do as the birth partner to support my wife. We have all the tools and knowledge we need to create our birth plan.
