SAY HELLO!

“She is very friendly, calm and gentle person. We felt both at ease as soon as we met Elin and could comfortably ask her anything at any time. She was wonderful!“

H & G

"We couldn’t have been more prepared and ready for our experience. I had no idea that you could make birth into a positive experience rather than a scary one, thanks to Elin's hypnobirthing classes. She provided endless support and throughout the birth she was there and made sure we had nothing to worry about. I can’t imagine being in that room without Elin.”

S & W

You were such a source of calm and comfort to us - couldn’t have imagined it without you.
I felt 100 % supported during the birth. Your presence was comforting knowing that you were experienced and paying attention to what was going on and helping translate things to me. We loved having you and would hire you again!"

M & T

“Your encouragement and reassurance gave me the strength and confidence I needed during one of the most significant moments of my life. You played a crucial role in making it a beautiful and memorable journey that I will cherish forever.“

Hej and welcome!

I'm Elin.

I know the thought of giving birth and transitioning into motherhood can feel both overwhelming and isolating. That's why I am here to offer you unwavering support.

I want to support you to have a birth where you feel safe, confident, and empowered to trust yourself. You deserve a positive, transformative birth experience, that you will remember with fondness.

As your birth and postnatal doula I will help create a calm, reassuring environment for you, from pregnancy through childbirth and into those early postnatal days. I'll be there during your labour, and I'll help you adjust to your new role as a mother.

MORE ABOUT ME . . .

“Elin is a wonderful advocate and made me feel so reassured, having her there by my side. She spent time with my Mum, who was my birth partner, in advance, so they had a good relationship. On the day of the birth I felt so supported. Even when things were challenging, it was fine, as I knew my options and that I had two wonderful, strong, women by my side!"
