Hi! I’m Lydia, or Lyddie for “short”. I use she/her pronouns. As a full spectrum doula I offer my care and support throughout the perinatal period. I’m especially passionate about supporting people through fertility journeys and those preparing for a physiological birth.

I’m committed to helping you figure out what’s right for you. My intention is that in choosing to work with me you feel supported and held, confident, informed and autonomous.

I’ll help you to develop an understanding of your options. We’ll take a holistic approach, drawing on the best available evidence to inform your decisions. Together we’ll explore, question and prepare in a non-judgemental environment. We’ll work to ensure you are ready to advocate for your choices when you need to.

I’ll encourage you to lean into your intuition. You are the expert on your body and what’s right for you.

My service is as unique and diverse as the families I work with. I’d be honoured to be by your side on this path, whatever that looks like for you and your family.

My experiences in bringing my babies into the world was the catalyst to my becoming a doula. I have two young children. They are wonderful little people who surprise me, challenge me and bring me joy every day. Before having them, I was a card-carrying member of the infertility club. My own journey to parenthood involved loss and IVF. I understand the additional complexity that this can bring to your conception journey, pregnancy and parenting.

I’m also a doula because physiological birth gets me fizzing. It’s just so incredible how birthing bodies work. I will never cease to be amazed by it or stop enjoying learning about it and witnessing it. I find being able to support people in this phase of their lives is such an immense honour and privilege.
