Hello…

My name is Helena and I’m so glad you’re here! I am a wife, a mum of 2 girls, a Church of England Deacon, Christian doula and Hypnobirthing teacher. One of the most important things to know about me is that I am absolutely passionate about people having positive pregnancy and birth experiences, as well as finding healing and restoration when that hasn’t been the case before.

  • Helena journeyed with us on 2 pregnancies and was a wonderful, peaceful, reassuring voice and sounding board throughout. Her emotional intelligence, sensitivity and experience were, and continue to be, invaluable. She's amazing and would highly recommend.
