Homebirth, Freebirth & Postpartum Specialist Support & Mentorship
The truth about birth
Let’s be honest.
In the UK, well over 50% of births involve medical intervention,
Caesarean rates continue to rise,
More women than ever are leaving their births feeling unheard, disempowered, or traumatised.
And because of that, women are asking better questions.
They’re no longer blindly following the system,
They’re researching,
They’re exploring alternatives,
They’re choosing differently.
Why are so many women choosing to birth at home?
Women are not choosing this path lightly. They are choosing it because they want autonomy over their bodies and their births, they are seeking continuity, trust, and personalised care, and they understand that birth physiology works best when it is undisturbed. More than that, they are reclaiming birth as something powerful, not something to fear. And when women are supported in this way, outcomes change dramatically. Research consistently shows that for low-risk women, homebirth is associated with lower rates of caesarean birth, fewer interventions overall, and greater satisfaction and emotional wellbeing. Women aren’t just looking for something different, they are looking for something better.
Research shows that for low-risk pregnancies, planned homebirths are associated with:
-
~40% lower likelihood of caesarean birth
-
~50% fewer instrumental births
-
Significantly fewer interventions and infections
Why i specialise in homebirth, Freebirth & Postpartum
As more women turn toward homebirth and freebirth, there are not enough doulas trained to truly support them, not in the way they need and not in the depth they deserve. This work requires more than a general doula qualification, it calls for a deep understanding of physiological birth, the ability to hold steady in unconventional spaces, emotional intelligence paired with strong boundaries, and a genuine trust in women rather than a fear of birth. This is specialist work, and right now, specialists are in demand.
Women aren’t choosing this path randomly.
They are responding to:
-
Previous traumatic birth experiences
-
A system that can feel rushed, impersonal, or disempowering
-
A deep desire for control, safety, and sovereignty
-
Increased awareness that birth physiology works best when undisturbed
Even mainstream conversations now acknowledge that more women are exploring alternatives, especially after recent years exposed cracks in maternity care access and continuity
