Hi, I’m Charlotte!
I’m mum to two gorgeous girls: five-year-old Margot and not-quite-one-year-old Lola, and since 2021 I’ve been supporting families as a birth and postnatal doula. My work is my passion, birth support my obsession, and if I were ever on Mastermind, the Zwischen would be my specialist subject.
Birth fascinates me, and this work truly feels like a calling. I have a tendency to overwork and overanalyse (hi, Virgo sun), so evidence-based research is often my late-night reading. But I also carry bucket-loads of compassion, empathy, and optimism, follow intuition above all else, and love conversations that get deep quick. I want to know you, what makes you tick and what your story is.
Outside of the birth world, I’m very much a girl who can do both. I adore a Reformer Pilates class followed by an overpriced coffee and croissant, but I’m just as happy roughing it on the west coast of Scotland in our old VW camper. I’m the rule-following eldest child, with a rebellious love of (admittedly fine-line) tattoos and piercings. I’m super creative with zero imagination and my dinner of choice on a Monday may well be a homemade dhal but by Tuesday it will be crisps and dip.
Back to the transformational journey of birth; I’ve supported families through home births, hospital births, VBACs and HBACs, gestational diabetes, pregnancy after loss, IVF births, caesarean births, hypnobirthing, and water births. I’ve worked with solo mums and same-sex couples, and I offer my support without assumptions or judgement. When I say my care is bespoke, I mean it: it’s created with you and for you.
Every woman’s journey into motherhood is different, and that’s what makes it so powerful. I take the time to really get to know you, to listen, and to build a relationship that feels safe and supportive. My role is to meet you exactly where you are, offering guidance and care without judgement, and always honouring what feels true and right for you.
What is a doula?
In short, we’re the extra pair of steady hands, calm voice, and cheerleader energy you didn’t know you needed. A doula is there to support you through pregnancy, birth, and those early postnatal days: emotionally, physically, and practically.
For some people that means reminding you to breathe, rubbing your back, or offering ideas for pain relief. For others, it’s a listening ear, straight-talk guidance, or simply someone holding the space while you do your thing. There’s no one size fits all. My support bends and flexes around you, your choices, and what feels right in the moment.
At its heart, doula work is about making sure you feel safe, informed, and never alone. Whether that’s with an epidural, in a birth pool, or during a C-section, I’m there without judgement, all in for you.
Mother-centred and evidence based
Having the continuity of care provided by a doula who works with you during pregnancy, birth, and postnatally may seem like common sense, but the strongest argument for having a doula isn’t just gut instinct. Research findings from trials involving tens of thousands of women has proven that having a doula at your birth results in:
A 50% reduction in caesarean rate
25% shorter labour
60% reduction in epidural requests
40% reduction in synthetic oxytocin use (induction hormone)
30% reduction in analgesia use
40% reduction in forceps delivery
