About me
Birth is sacred, birth cracks you wide open, birth is profound and I'd love to be part of your village on this sacred journey.
​
I'm Marie, birth, prenatal and postpartum doula. I'm here to mother the mother, by welcoming pregnant women and people home and back into your own magnificent power. No matter what you have been through, where you are from, where and how you choose to birth, I would be honoured to support you.
​
I'm a Mumma of one, my little one Piper was born in 2020 on the eve of all the craziness of lockdowns in the UK. I'm from the UK and am now happily settled in Tugun, on Australia's stunning Gold Coast.
​
I have so much life experience in different fields... I was a secondary school English and then English as a second language teacher for many years. I studied Arabic at university (and now have forgotten it all!) in Scotland. I was an award-winning graphic designer and art director, I've designed more than 50 cookbooks.
​
And it was my own birth portal with Piper that led me to becoming an absolute birth-nerd, and now doula and birth educator.
