My practice is rooted in East African traditions. I lean into the ancient wisdom of my elders, most particularly my great-grandmother who worked with plant medicine.

I support positive and powerful birth experiences, honouring each mama as the ultimate authority over their body, pregnancy and birth experience.

My reinitiation into birthwork came when I chose a freebirth homebirth supported by a birthworker. This was incredibly important to me to birth in a safe space that was peaceful, calm and familiar. With herbs, massage, dancing and breathing. The silence, music and gentle reminders of my power helped me soften and surrender to the initiation and re-birth. And Tete was born in power (as was Mama Tete) just as my ancestors were. 

I have worked in community for many years with a previous focus on mental wellbeing from community settings to secure units. I also worked with the Manchester City Council before becoming a mother, supporting women - navigating homelessness and related challenges such as domestic abuse, sexual abuse, substance misuse & addictions, sex work and various mental health conditions - to reconnect with their inner power to facilitate growth and healing. Community work is at the heart of my service to life and I always welcome opportunties for community collaboration.
