I am the co-founder of The Queer Parenting Partnership.
I have worked in the childcare industry for 15+ years and was a finalist in the UK Nanny of The Year Awards 2019.
In June 2018, I took the plunge to become a doula. My main motivation behind becoming a doula was helping a loved one through severe postnatal depression. Before I’d even finished my first day of training, I knew I wanted to work specifically with queer families and The Queer Doula was born.
Co-creating The Queer Parenting Partnership was the next logical step for me as queer parents and parents from marginalised groups are consistently left out, let down or squeezed in as an afterthought and I decided that if I want to effect change, it has to start with me.
I trained with Slingababy to become a babywearing consultant in July 2020 . I had dabbled in babywearing over the years but never really took much interest until I became a doula. Suddenly, I wanted to wear ALL the babies!
