Evidence-based education, unwavering doula support and the nutrition know-how to back it all up.

My name's Grace

you're so welcome here

An experienced birth educator, doula & nutritionist based in ‘The Capital of the Weald’, otherwise known as beautiful Kent!

I founded Cradled by Grace after my two very different birth experiences – because I realised that antenatal education and birth preparation are two totally different things and women are simply not going into their birth(s) with the right tools or the ‘know how’ when navigating the maternity system as it is today.

As an experienced doula, I’ve supported so many families; first-time mums, mums after trauma, VBAC mums, caesareans, inductions, home births, all of it.

Couples come to me because not only do I give you a solid evidence-based antenatal education, but I also teach you the balance of attuning to your body & simultaneously understand how to stack the odds in your favour whilst birthing in the NHS.

Who Cradled by Grace is for…

Whether you need someone by your side in labour, the education to feel truly prepared, or the nutrition support your body deserves - you're in the right place. Here's how I can help:

Grace was our doula for the birth of our second daughter, and "amazing" doesn't even begin to cover it — she is truly out of this world. After a traumatic first birth, I went on to have an unmedicated VBAC with Grace by my side, and I genuinely believe that without her, I would never have had the birth I did. I walked away from my first experience traumatised, but determined that the next time would be very different — and I knew I needed Grace to help me through it. In the lead-up to this birth, Grace held antenatal appointments with my husband John and I, where she educated us on all of our options, helped us step into our power, and supported us in feeling confident making what were, at times, really hard decisions. She never pushed an agenda — she simply gave us knowledge, reassurance, and unwavering support so we could make choices that felt right for us. Grace supported me through my unmedicated, planned homebirth in ways she may never fully know. From the moment she arrived during my labour, my body instantly relaxed. I knew I was safe, and I knew that all I needed to focus on was birthing my baby. She made me feel safe at all times — even when others may not have. She held space for me completely and had my back through absolutely everything. She is incredible at her job and has absolutely found her calling in life. She went above and beyond for us, and made this whole experience so easy. Beyond her professionalism and depth of knowledge, Grace is a beautiful soul. Our relationship with her has turned into a deeply cherished friendship, and she is someone we will hold close for the rest of our days. I would urge any couple who is even considering a doula to contact and book Grace. She didn't just support our birth — she changed our experience, our confidence, and our lives by holding us through a life-changing moment in the most supportive and nurturing way.
