About Me
My journey into women’s work truly began
with my son’s waterbirth in 2013 which changed me forever and made me feel like I had discovered a hidden secret - that birth could be amazing, transcendent, spiritual and primal. I wanted to find out everything I could about birth as spiritual initiation and share it with all women.
I first began supporting women and families in 2015 as a Daisy Birthing pregnancy yoga and antenatal teacher in Cardiff. I loved hearing the women’s stories and supporting them to discover their innate birthing power and wisdom. I then began attending births as a doula to hold space as an experienced wise woman for this sacred feminine rite of passage.
I naturally moved into womb and ceremony work, offering my gentle presence, wisdom and divine inspiration to women at all stages of their life. Through sacred intention, energy healing and massage I am blessed to hold space for women to experience deep and profound connection to their wombs and hearts.

Wife, mother & hearthkeeper for women’s mysteries
In my personal life, I live in semi-rural South Wales with my husband, two children and black cat. I adore quiet living and simple pleasures. I love exploring nature, foraging for herbal remedies, singing, dancing, tarot, yoga and prayer. I can often be found curled up with a book, a big mug of tea and some chocolate.
I consider myself a kitchen witch and have completed the Foundation Course In Herbal Medicine (NIMH) with Heartwood. Herbal medicine and folk remedies are two passions of mine. I am currently studying for my clinical herbalism qualification with the School of Evolutionary Herbalism.
I want to express my appreciation for all my teachers past and present, in this lifetime and in all others.
