Gemma Kitto

You don't have to be rebellious, do something unusual or be alternative to have a positive birth. You just need to be confident, calm and powerful in your own mind and your own space.

I am an unapologetically mainstream doula: the families I work with are 'normal' people who want to bring their babies earth-side their way...

• Some choose to homebirth, some don't.
• Some choose a birth centre, some don't.
• Some choose to VBAC or a breech vaginal birth, some don't.

My role is to be the cheerleader, the educator and the never-ending support system they need to make that happen. The tools and experiences I bring into the birth space are firmly rooted in what people know and see every day: massage, movement, talk, food, drink, solidarity and above all powerful advocacy to help them navigate the healthcare system on their terms.

And this is the key: my focus will always be pursuing the type of birth experience that my client wants, whatever that is and however it evolves through the process.

If you're looking for the kind of birth support that's more rational metal-head mum than hippie, get in touch. I offer all curious parents-to-be a free 30 minute consultation via Zoom and would love to chat to you.
