About Me

• My Greek Cypriot heritage gives me the fire to be able to tackle family dynamics and ensure your birthing plan is at the forefront of your birth experience.

• With over a decade of campaigning for women’s rights on the frontlines with the UN,
governments, charities, and leading some of the world’s largest gender equality organisations, I have a powerful voice to lend
when needed.

• I am also trained to offer Closing the Bones ceremonies and Mother Blessings/Blessing Way
ceremonies (alternative Baby Showers), which can be done separately or as part of a
package of support.

• Trained and mentored by Conscious Birthing. We will work together to ensure you have a
positive and powerful birth experience on your terms.

• Volunteer doula for charity Doulas without Borders.

• I’m proudly queer & neurodivergent, making me extra tuned into the sensitivities and
uniqueness of individual needs.
