From 'fingers crossed to to rooted wise woman ahead of your home birth... 

4 weeks of devoted Doula support with one of the UK's most experienced home birth Doulas... 


So you're feeling excited when it comes to your plans to birth at home, but every now and then... perhaps as you're loading the dishwasher, or putting your eldest to bed - there it is... ​

​

That tight knot in the pit of your stomach... "But 'what if"... 

​

"What if there are no midwives available on the day..." 

"What if something goes wrong..." 

"What if my partner looses his nerve..."

"What if I can't do it..."

​

I see you. 

​

I've been where you are right now, and I've had the honour of witnessing over 100 couples not only have the home birth of their dreams, but to discover the absolute power they hold inside themselves. 

 

I've walked beside women as they move from secretly feeling as though their bodies have failed them, that they're not truly 'strong enough' or 'spiritual enough' to really birth their babies naturally, at home...

 

To fully stepping into their role as a strong, powerful Matriarch.

 

Because your desire for this home birth isn't just about location, is it?   

 

It's about casting aside old stories about who you are & what you're capable of. It's about reclaiming what's been taken from women over the past few generations.

 

It's about a journey - yes towards that birth but also one which ignites the next level of 'you'; a 'you' who doesn't continually look outside of herself for permission, who feels that inner pull and moves towards what's right for her (and her babies). 

 

The Sovereign Path is a beautiful, 'once a season' offering which prepares you specifically, intentionally, and completely for the birth you're actually planning - at home, on your terms, in your body, in your space.

​

4 weeks of bespoke, responsive Doula support , weekly live coaching calls to deep dive into all of those fears, desires and must know wisdom when it comes to preparing for your birth. 

​

Over the course of the next month (November 2026) you'll be guided through my signature program -

Born at Home™ - one theme at a time, with space to reflect within our private community, have space to ask any questions that come up in real time and dive even deeper than the original self study course explores. 

​

What if I told you that feeling deeply connected to your intuition, your body, and your partner...  without drowning in a sea of statistics or jumping through hoops - is completely possible as you prepare for your home birth?

​​

I've done this work. I've lived this journey. And I've built this programme because I couldn't find what home birthing parents need anywhere else... so I created it.

Our community...

One of the hardest things about planning a home birth can often be feeling alone... or feeling like the only one in your circle who sees things in the way you do... 

​

Because The Sovereign Path is a group coaching space (small in numbers to keep intimacy and bespoke care at the forefront of your journey) - you not only have access to support from one of the UKs most experienced home birth Doulas, but from a small group of women who get it. 

​

No more having to caveat things, or tone your thoughts & feelings down for a room who give you the side eye and say "Well if you're worried just go to the hospital then..." 

​

You'll be able to leave behind those "Sorry, am I going mad here?!" feelings, when you just want a space to vent about the absurdity of the NHS system. 

​

We've got you. ​

​

It's time to stop pouring your heart out to a Facebook group full of 3,000 strangers (probably including your head of midwifery) and getting everyone's opinions and trauma dumping...

​

This will be an intimate, guided space where you can actually get to know each other and form bonds that will serve you throughout your pregnancy and Motherhood journey.

​

Once you are enrolled onto the course, you'll be invited to join our private group on Telegram, where coaching in between sessions, community chat and our weekly Q&As will be held.

Let's re-wind to 2021...

My journey to the powerfully redemptive birth of my daughter Primrose wasn't plain sailing... 

​

I'd been through a difficult hospital birth 4 years previously; an experience which although 'fine' on paper, had left me feeling powerless and like birth was something that had happened to me. 

​

By the time I was pregnant the 2nd time around, I'd become one of the country's leading hypnobirthing experts; I knew what helped birth & what hindered it and I knew this time around I'd be planning a home birth. ​

 

I'd yet again been given a 'high risk' label & I really quickly found myself spiralling in a whirlwind of other peoples opinions, the feeling that actually I needed to be some some of Sour dough making Mary Poppins character to have a 'successful' home birth and low key clinging to home birth safety statistics (that never seemed to tie in with what the NHS folk were saying...!) to justify my decision making. 

​

Deep down I knew that if I wanted to allow the journey of pregnancy and birth to be the life transforming, mind altering, 'matriarch making' experience that I wanted it to be...

 

I was going to need more than the hypnobirthing I'd become such an expert in. 

​

I made it my mission to go deeper. To explore birth from an ancestral perspective... to feel into the darker corners of my psyche and really unearth and heal the things within me that I knew would trip me up in labour. 

​

I prepared my body this time around, exploring and became fully trained in biomechanics. ​I journaled and meditated with precise purpose. 
 

And I came out the other side - not only triumphantly birthing our daughter in the pool, at home, surrounded by people I loved and trusted... but also in sticking my middle finger up to the patriarchy by completely revelling in joy, respect and awe of my own body. 

 

That birth changed how I see myself, what I believe I'm capable of and the woman I walked deeper into motherhood as.​

What we'll cover...Part 1 

Week 1 - 'Rewind and Fast Forward"...

During our 1st week together we'll be exploring the HERstory of birth. We can't move forwards to this place of trust and connection both to ourselves but to birth itself - until we've looked back. 

We'll then look in depth at the concept safety when it comes to home birth. Ok so we don't want home birth safety statistics to become our entire 'game plan' but in this module I will be running through those stats with you, as well as exploring why home birth has much better outcomes for women and babies compared to hospital birth. 

Journeying Inwards: No more thinking you have to be a particular type of person, or already have that deep inner trust. We'll be looking at tangiable ways you can gradually start to foster that connection to you intuition, so that you can feel clearer and more connected to what feels right to you. 


Week 2: "No Midwives deep dive"

During our live coaching call this week we'll be really exploring those fears around the possibility of no NHS midwives being available. I'll be creating space for you to really dig deep and figure out what you would want to do. 

Open, honest conversations and support around helping you to talk things through with your partner in advance, create a plan and feel able to move forwards with confidence. 


Navigating the system: No more bricking yourself ahead of antenatal appointments and leaving feeling deflated & undermined. This module gives you my doula 'behind the scenes' insights so that you can feel unshakable in your decisions and equipped with the inner strength you need to make the system work for you (not the other way around!) 

The physiology and psychology of birth: This is a biggie, but a goodie! You'll end this module feeling like your brain is pinging with 'ah-ha's' around how birth actually works, and how you as a couple can help it do it's thing. When we understand birth on this level, it stops feeling like some wild, unpredictable thing - and becomes something you can both actually look forward to.

What we'll cover... Part 2

Week 3 - "What if..." 

This is where we go way beyond what traditional hypnobirthing has to offer. Yes, we'll be exploring the concept of 'Plan A, B and C' - but that doesn't really cut it when we're planning a home birth, does it?

We'll be leaving no stone left unturned when it comes to free birth, unexpected/ emergency outcomes and transfers/ changes to plans. 

At the end of this module you'll be feeling so much clearer on all of those 'what if's' at the back of your mind. 

​
​
Week 4 - "Comfort, power & presence" 

This is where I'll be sharing my expert biomechanics knowledge with you. No more feeling like the physical flow of your baby and body are left to chance, with this practical set of movements you & your partner can be practicing now, to prepare for the easeful birth you're manifesting. 

​
Hypnobirthing for home birth: Throughout the course we'll be practicing our hypnobirthing breathing techniques, journalling and dropping into guided meditations. But during this module we'll be exploring it all in more detail, so that you feel able to really kick those old stories about your body, your strength, your capabilities to the curb once and for all. 
​
Integration - space for reflection and ensuring that you both feel calm and confident as our time together draws to a close.

Who is this perfect for?

  • Women who are ready to step into their power & want to know their partner's are clued up, ready & 'get it' so that you can feel deeply prepared without having to manage their anxiety. 

​

  • You're craving more than just a 'healthy mum, healthy baby' type of experience - you want a birth experience that transforms who you are as a person & a couple

​

  • You're excited to show up, do the work and explore the deeper parts of birth preparation without feeling unsupported or overwhelmed

​

  • You want more than mainstream birth prep which is geared towards birth inside the hospital system

Who is this NOT for?

  • You're just wanting to tick a box in terms of having 'done' some prep

​

  • You're looking for someone to do the hard work for you - this is a space for bold autonomy and radical self responsibility!

​

  • You'd rather just 'wing it' when it comes to this birth 

​

  • You're planning a 'go with the flow' hospital birth 

Here's what's waiting for you on the other side... 

You're going to walk into your birth feeling like the lead character in your own story... not a passenger in someone else's medical event.

 

You're going to leave antenatal appointments feeling grounded, not deflated.

 

You're going to stop Googling at 10pm. You're going to stop second-guessing yourself every time a professional raises an eyebrow.

 

You're going to stop waiting for someone else to give you permission to trust your own body.

 

And when your baby arrives - in your home, in your space, on your terms...  you're going to feel exactly what you hoped you'd feel.

 

That deep, bone-level pride. That quiet, unshakeable knowing. That moment of:

 

"I did that. I knew I could. I was right."

 

That experience is available to you. It's what I've built this programme to give you.

 

I'd love to walk you through it.
