About Jay
Pronouns: she/her
I am a Senior Registered Midwife and trained Birth Keeper and Doula, who has worked within the NHS and London communities for over eight years now. I am utilising this wealth of knowledge and experience to provide holistic pregnancy, birth and post-birth care to families like yours. From the very beginning of my journey, it has been important to me that women/people and their families are respected, understood and fully involved in this experience.
Beyond my work as a Doula, I am a sunshine lover, multicultural Caribbean native, and plant-based yogi who has a true skill in listening and adapting. Fortunate to have roots that extend way beyond my years, in health & wellbeing, creativity and advocacy. That is to say, ‘generational wealth’ plays an essential part in who I have become; through cultivating the land with my great-grandmother, the creation of soulful meals and habits with my grandmother or curating safe spaces for women to express their talents with my mother.
Within the healthcare system, I have encountered the unequal and challenging experiences faced by birthing people and families of marginalised and vulnerable groups. One of my aims as a Birth Keeper and Doula, is to contribute to changing that culture!
I have been learning, training and growing my skills as an advocate for promoting and improving maternal and newborn health outcomes. I have a strong desire to curate and cultivate birthing experiences that make this shared journey your own.
That's a little bit about me and my goals as a Doula. When you are ready, book a chat and let us talk about your journey through pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
“Jay, I don’t know if I ever properly thanked you for looking after me so well....I don’t know what I would’ve done without you, I was STRUGGLING, physically and emotionally. And you just were everything I needed...., so thank you again, you are an angel <3”
“....I was SO RELIEVED when you walked through that door and it was so nice to experience the great care other clients do”
“Thanks so much Jay, for being there with us in our special moment, made all the difference having you on our side, guiding us through”
“Admitting your fears, is the first and most difficult step to overcoming them”
