Doula, Yoga and Hypnobirthing in and around Bristol
Championing the wonder of human bodies: Pregnancy, birth and beyond
Welcome to Birth.Body.Breath!
If you’re looking for warm, non-judgemental, no-nonsense support through pregnancy, birth and into new parenthood, you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re rolling out your pregnancy yoga mat, preparing for birth with your partner or welcoming me onto your birth team as your doula, my aim is always the same. To help you trust your body, feel confident in your choices and head into birth feeling calm, supported and connected – with your baby, yourself and your birth team.
Congratulations! You’re pregnant… and you’re feeling simultaneously excited, overwhelmed and underprepared.
There’s information everywhere, but you’re not sure what’s right for you. You need a way to cut through the noise and focus on what matters most to you.
You want to walk away from your birth feeling proud and capable. You know this isn’t just about birth itself – it’s about big picture, long-lasting, life-changing impact. It’s about how you begin life as a new parent and the confidence you carry forward long after your baby is born.
Whatever level you choose to work with me at, I create the space for you to discover what feels right for you. I believe you do know what’s best for you and your baby – and my trust in you will help you believe it too.
Together, we’ll build your confidence, grow your trust in your body (and your baby) and help you tune out the noise, so you can make decisions that feel informed, grounded and true to you.
Kim ❤️

I’ve had the privilege of supporting 100s of women through their transition to ‘Mother’ now.
I know the challenges you are likely to come up against. And I know how capable and strong you are too.
But you don’t want to navigate this journey alone. You want someone beside you who listens, understands and is always on your team. My role is to be that person for you.
I want you to feel supported and cared for, not just through your birth, but through your whole transition into becoming a mother. So that when you step out the other side, you feel confident in your body, in your baby and in yourself as a parent.

The Summer Sanctuary.
A 6 week virtual space to help you stay connected with yourself over the Summer Break. I loved being on mat leave with my baby but I’d always feel a little panicked when the school holidays arrived again… Let’s be honest, looking after a baby is lovely but it can also feel like groundhog day….
