Hello my Lovely,

I see you. Sitting there, heart full of hope but weighed down by fear. Maybe your last birth didn’t go the way you wanted. Maybe you felt unheard, unseen—like a passenger in your own experience. And now, here you are again, trying to figure out how to make this time different.

I know that feeling, because I’ve been there too. And that’s why I do what I do.

I’m Katy Bolton, a trauma-informed doula, antenatal educator, and holistic therapist with over a decade of experience supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I specialise in birth trauma recovery, PTSD, anxiety, and postnatal depression, because I believe healing starts with being heard, held, and truly understood.

My approach is raw, honest, and deeply rooted in autonomy. I won’t sugarcoat birth, but I will stand beside you, fiercely protecting your space, your choices, and your right to birth on your terms. Whether you want a hospital birth, a homebirth, or a wild pregnancy, I will support you with evidence-based knowledge, emotional grounding, and a deep trust in your body’s ability to birth.

If you’re looking for birth preparation that actually prepares you—not just for the ‘ideal’ birth but for all possibilities—I offer 1:1 antenatal sessions, birth support planning, and online calls to help you get clear on what you want and how to achieve it. My trauma-informed approach means we work through your fears, not ignore them, so you step into birth feeling confident, informed, and supported. You don’t need to figure it all out alone—I’m here to walk beside you.

Alongside birth support, I offer in-person holistic therapies including fertility reflexology, pregnancy massage, and postnatal recovery treatments. Whether you’re preparing your body for pregnancy, easing the aches of growing a baby, or needing deep nourishment after birth, these treatments are designed to support your body and mind through every stage of the journey.

Birth is powerful. Birth is yours. Let’s make it what you want it to be.

If you’re ready to take back your power and rewrite your birth story, let’s talk. You can find me at www.mother-gaia.co.uk or connect with me on Instagram at @mother_gaia_crabtree.

For real, unfiltered conversations on birth, trauma, and healing, listen to my podcast, Mother Gaia Birthy Pod, available on YouTube and all major streaming platforms.

You deserve to feel held, heard, and empowered. Let’s make that happen.

Many blessings,
Katy x
