About Debi

Proud Mother

I am the proud mother of five adult children, aged between 30 and 36. I live in Epsom, Surrey with my family and love to cook healthy food, eat, exercise and read (for fun and to keep up to date with all things birth and parenting related). I have always had an insatiable interest in all things maternity and baby and before starting my family,  I worked for many years as an au-pair in London. I am passionate about supporting women and their partners in this wonderful and rewarding  journey of parenthood. I am open-minded and pride myself on my warm and easy-going nature. My priority is making you happy and I aim to support you every step of the way (every tiny step together!). After having five very different births, one of which I felt was quite traumatic,  I decided to train as  a doula so that I could help a woman to never feel as deflated as I did after this particular birth.  I want to listen to a family so that they feel empowered and have the confidence, the voice and the courage to have the pregnancy and birth of their choice.

Birth Doula

As your Birth Doula I will be there to nurture and support you so that you feel empowered to make informed decisions regarding maternity care.  My goal is for you to trust your own instincts.  We will take ‘tiny steps together’ to achieve the most positive birth, so that you may continue into parenthood with confidence and wisdom. I will visit you twice antenatally, listening without judgement to your wishes on what your ideas of an ideal birth experience would be. I will come to you as soon as you need me to give you support for the whole of your birth, staying with you until you have had your glorious golden hour. I will visit you once more once you are settled at home, to make sure that you feel confident and comfortable with your new family dynamic.
