Twenty years as a midwife.

Hundreds of births attended, from powerful natural births to positive, well-supported ones in hospital.

I know the difference between a birth that leaves you feeling broken and one where you look up and think, "I did that."

  • Alex, Homebirth, 2nd Baby

    I had wished for a peaceful home birth, but instead I had a long, hard and chaotic birth in hospital. That’s when Evony came into my life - she helped me move past my fears and created a container so what mattered to me could emerge clearly. I really didn't believe in myself at first. Within just a couple of sessions with Evony, I started to see a real shift in how I felt. We talked, we processed, and she held space for my fears until they started to feel smaller. Slowly, that doubt transformed into a deep, quiet sense of empowerment. She didn't just give me information; she helped me get back my belief in my own body.

  • I truly cannot express how much Evony positively helped my pregnant and birthing mind. She was with me throughout pregnancy to talk to and when it came to my beautiful birth, I couldn't have asked for a more incredible experience with her by my side. You are an amazing birthkeeper!

    — Lauren, 2nd baby homebirth

  • I will literally be grateful to you for the rest of my life Ev. Your work is so important.

    - Alex, 3rd baby, Home VBAC

  • Words can never sum up the positive emotional impact Evony has had on our lives. I hired Evony as a private midwife and had a beautiful healing homebirth after a traumatic second birth. Birth is such a vulnerable time but with right care can be a truly empowering experience. Me and my family will be forever grateful for the care Evony provided. She is worth her weight in gold!

'I’d quite like a water birth. I'd rather not have any drugs. I know, I’ll write a birth plan. You hope. Almost apologetic. As if wanting a physiological birth - a birth where your body works the way it was designed to, where you are mobile and present and meeting your baby on your own terms - is somehow asking too much.

How a Virtual Doula Can Support You During Pregnancy
Doula, Birth Preparation

Many people have heard of doulas supporting labour, but fewer realise how valuable a virtual doula can be during pregnancy.

Pregnancy is when many of the key decisions about birth begin to take shape. Conversations with midwives and doctors, discussions about induction, choices about where to give birth - all of these can influence how your birth unfolds. So why do it alone?
