About Me
Hello,
I’m Helena, a Christian Doula and Hypnobirthing Teacher
Expecting a Baby?
Whether you’re preparing for birth or recently welcomed a little one, you may be looking for someone to walk alongside you in this sacred season. Birth is powerful, personal, and transformative — and you deserve support that honours the whole of who you are.
A Doula with Heart and Faith
I’m a doula who offers compassionate, spiritually-aware care, rooted in my Christian faith. While that shapes how I support others, I warmly welcome people of all backgrounds — faith-based or not.
If you're longing for a birth experience grounded in peace, trust, and deeper connection, I would be honoured to support you.
More Than Just Getting Through Birth
We’re often told birth is something to fear. But maybe you believe — or hope — it can be more: peaceful, purposeful, even sacred.
You want someone by your side who sees birth as more than clinical. Someone who will support your body, mind, and spirit — and who will help you feel steady, strong, and seen.
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast...” — Isaiah 26:3
How I Support You
As your doula, I’ll come alongside you with calm, encouragement, and care — holding space for your values, your story, and your vision for birth.
And with all the twists and turns and however you may be feeling each time we meet; we can navigate it together, remaining peaceful, calm and confident. You've got this.
Client Testimonial
“Despite being someone of faith who prayed regularly, I still needed the encouragement to be honest with God about what I felt and wanted, so that was what I did. I also met with Helena for a post-birth debrief which was a great way to purposefully give thanks to God for all that He did and to help me process the healing that took place. Helena really understands the journey of birth and how it changes us and what God can do in and through us in our birth journeys. I’d highly recommend Helena for preparing for birth and beyond - her presence is calm and prayerful.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a doula and what does a doula NOT do?
A doula chooses to show up and be present, walking with you on the pregnancy and birthing journey, whatever that may entail. This can be at any point in the process - before conception, in miscarriage, in early pregnancy, in labour and into the newborn phase. A doula is someone who serves and engages with an ancient practice of being available and present to those who are on their unique journey of pregnancy and birth.

What would the free 15 minute chat include?
If you book a 15 minute chat, we can discuss what sort of support you might find most helpful, and whether I might be the right person to support you. You can ask me any questions you like!
What's the next step if I want to enquire about support?
Feel free to book in a chat, or send me an enquiry through the website, or email [email protected]. Then we can arrange our first call!
I'm a Christian. Can I do hypnobirthing?
It’s important you feel safe and comfortable as you prepare for your birth. I can help you with that. Hypnobirthing is simply using relaxation and visualisation techniques to put our bodies in a better state to give birth, as we were designed to! If you would like to do this through the lens of prayer and scripture, we can do that too. See blog post on this subject here.
I don't live near Bristol. Can you still support me?
Absolutely! I offer all my services online, so we can do birth/pregnancy preparation and birth debriefing, wherever you are based!
