Nurturing care, aligned with you
Welcome!
Whether this is your first pregnancy, or any pregnancy, I am so glad you are considering postnatal care.
Birth and the childbearing year affect us all—I believe that when loving care and nourishment form the fabric of the early days, weeks, and months of life, the positive ripple effects are many and enduring, for women and men alike.
My offering seeks to ensure you are nourished in all ways, allowing you to begin your journey into early motherhood with greater ease and joy.
In the UK and many other places, we have largely lost the collective knowledge, wisdom, and capacity to holistically care for postpartum women. My care seeks to restore that balance. It comprises:
♥ Nourishing nutrition
♥ Facilitation of deep rest
♥ Emotional support
♥ Breastfeeding and infant feeding support
♥ Gentle physical rehabilitation through The Body Ready Method®
♥ Postnatal massage using a rebozo (I have begun training with Japjeet Kaur)
♥ Aromatherapy
♥ Laundry and cleaning
♥ Anything that enhances the feel and flow of your home—this will be unique to you
It is my pleasure to have trained with Conscious Birthing twice in 2025. These trainings have informed my care so deeply and I will be guided under the mentorship of Samsara during my time as a student doula.
Whether you are pregnant and laying the foundations for nourishing postnatal care, or your baby has arrived earthside, it would be my privilege to support you.
About me
I’m Brittany, mum of two daughters, both of whose arrivals and beings have further guided me on this sacred path of supporting natural health and wellbeing during the childbearing time.
I crystallised my feelings about the type of care that I am here to give when I became an NHS midwife in 2021, working within the dominant medical paradigm. My belief that both called me to, and then guided me away from, NHS midwifery is that the childbearing year is a sacred rite of passage worthy of deep reverence and care. It is a time when women should be encouraged to hear their intuition and feel into their power. Conversely, I found the childbearing year to be treated largely as a material transaction to be managed and completed as soon as possible, with the goal to "bounce back".
For clarity, I am not offering you any medical care as a midwife—I am no longer a registered midwife in the UK, but I wanted to share with you the origin of the word. Midwife comes from Middle English, meaning mid (with) and wif (woman). Being "with woman" is my realm, and I feel that being a postnatal doula, rather than a midwife, is how I can make this happen. Our intuition, experience, and evidence alike abundantly show that mum and baby bonding is deeply supported in the context of compassionate and empowering care.
