About Me

Hi, I’m Rosie

Birth and Postnatal Doula | Antenatal Educator | Breastfeeding Specialist | Babywearing Supporter

I live just outside Penrith with my partner, our two children and our wonderfully chaotic dog, Pepper.
When I’m not adjusting a sling, supporting a feed or chatting about birth, you’ll find me running the fells, baking something sweet, reading with a cuppa, or exploring the Lakes with my family.

​

My Journey

After university, I worked as an outdoor instructor for many years, supporting people of all ages to build confidence, resilience and connection through time spent in nature. I especially loved travelling on expeditions abroad and watching people discover their own strength in new environments.

When I became pregnant for the first time, my curiosity for learning took a new direction. I found myself diving deep into research about birth, choices and the impact of care — exploring what felt right for me and my family.
Having grown up in a holistic, mindful environment, I already valued balance and intuition, but pregnancy really brought those values into focus.

Although my first birth didn’t go as I’d hoped, I had the incredible support of my doula and partner. That experience taught me how powerful knowledge, preparation and compassionate support can be — even when things take a different path. It also opened my eyes to how trauma can be felt both physically and emotionally.

When I was pregnant again, I approached my second birth feeling empowered, informed and deeply connected to my choices — and went on to have a positive home birth experience.

After that, I spent time as a stay-at-home mum, reflecting on how transformative both experiences had been. I realised that what I wanted most was to support other families in finding that same sense of confidence, connection and calm, no matter how their journey unfolded.

Training & Experience

I trained as a Birth Doula with Developing Doulas in 2023 and have been supporting families ever since.
Alongside this, I’ve been a Babywearing Educator since 2022, and a Breastfeeding Supporter and Counsellor since 2019.

I’m always developing and adding new learning to my professional basket of tools — because growth never stops, and every family teaches me something new.

While nobody knows everything, I’m proud to say I know enough wonderful people to signpost to when needed, ensuring families always get the right support.

​

My Approach

My approach as a doula is gentle, family-centred and grounded in evidence.
I believe in continuity of care — being a steady, trusted presence throughout pregnancy, birth and those tender early weeks.

My role isn’t to tell you what to do, but to walk beside you as you find your own way — helping you feel confident, informed and connected to your instincts.

My care is always flexible and tailored to you — I’m here to hold you as much as your baby. Every family I work with reminds me why this work matters so deeply; it’s such an honour to be invited into these moments of transition, growth and love.
