What my clients have to say
“I still can’t stop telling people my birth story!!! Thank you Angela!
Angela is the definition of what a birthkeeper is & we are SO grateful to have found her when we did…
When we first discovered that we were expecting our first child, we had no idea about the learning journey we were about to embark on!
Rewind 9-10 months ago, our view of pregnancy & birth was very much the narrative that we are all used to hearing and have grown up with. We envisioned the usual NHS midwife appts, checks, tests & a hospital birth.
However, it wassn’t long before I started doing my own research and came across the many many options that we do indeed have when it comes to both pregnancy & birth. However, no matter how much you learn, you can always benefit from having that someone in your corner who has taken the time to understand you, get to know you and is willing and able to give you information that you would otherwise have to spend a lot of time having to scope out yourself.
Once I had learned what a Birth Keeper was, I started looking for one and I stumbled upon Angela’s website. I loved her story and felt reassured even more that she had so much midwifery experience as well.
Angela filled in all the gaps in our knowledge in order for us to be able to achieve the birth experience that we wanted (at home, no pain relief, calm & safe space).
She offered us books to read that really equipped us going into antenatal appts and the labour itself. She lent us a rebozo scarf for us to practice rebozo techniques leading up to the birth and sent us a list of resources and things we will need to have prepared for the home birth that we wanted.
She helped us create the perfect birth plan, as well as a birth plan for any unexpected occurrences.
Fast forward to the labour itself, when Angela arrived her presence was so calm, so serene, it was as if an angel had arrived. Whilst I achieved the home birth that I wanted, and stayed drug free without any pain relief etc the labour itself did have it’s challenging moments where I believe if I hadn’t have had Angela there, I probably could have ended up having a hospital birth against my will. I trusted Angela and her expertise, as I knew from her background that she works well in emergencies and can spot one if she see’s one. So if she was calm, I knew we were all good and that I was going to see it through until the safe delivery of my baby at home.
She held the space SO well, not just for me but for my husband as well (which I believe was the most important part)
She captured some beautiful moments on camera for us, showed us the placenta in all it’s glory, made padsicles for me for my recovery post partum, cleared up the space after the birth and treated my tear with a more natural alternative to the usual stitches that are offered. I healed really well with her remedy for tears and I’m so pleased with the results!
Going forward, I can’t imagine Angela not being at my future births, and I highly recommend the investment as it’s not just about how pretty you can make your birth experience, it’s about how you want your child to enter this world. I know that my daughter has and will continue to benefit long term from the way that she was brought into the world, and for that you can put no price on it.”

“Recently I have been lucky enough to find Angela. I received two Reiki sessions over Zoom and had my eyes opened! Angela explained the process and made me feel at ease. I wanted to work on my heart and emotions, and the first session was truly cathartic — I felt very emotional, saw colours, and sensed the protective presence of my grandparents.
I noticed a positive shift in myself in the days following. My second session was mind-blowing; I felt energy moving through my body, almost like being anaesthetised, and was deeply comforted by Angela’s presence. Angela has an incredible natural gift for Reiki, and I was amazed by the energy and healing I experienced. I am now completely convinced that remote Reiki works. It was an amazing experience, and I’ll definitely be back. Love and light.”

“I couldn’t recommend Angela more. As a couple wanting a fully natural birth outside the NHS, we knew we needed a birthkeeper, and Angela was the perfect guide. From 16 weeks pregnant, she supported us with meetings, resources, and calm, informed advice that helped us commit to freebirthing with confidence. Her Reiki session brought calm and relieved pregnancy aches, and her constant availability helped counter NHS pressure.
During my long labour, Angela was incredible — there for us at all hours, offering reassurance, guidance, and emotional support. We used aromatherapy, combs, a birth pool, and movement, and Angela even captured special moments in photos. Thanks to her, our baby girl arrived exactly how we had hoped. We couldn’t have wished for a better first birth experience and are forever grateful to have had Angela by our side.”

“I have recently finished the 3 step process with Angela. My baby died shortly after birth and I had been having trouble sleeping. I had been thinking over and over again about being in the hospital. The 3 step programme helped me to improve sleep. I could listen to Angela’s relaxation recordings and they always stopped me overthinking and helped me relax and get to sleep. I found it helpful to go through what had happened in a safe place and to allow my brain the opportunity to process the experience more. My sleep and anxiety has improved after the 3 step process.”

“Angela’s experience and knowledge were invaluable to us during our first pregnancy and home water birth. The expertise and information she shared made us feel we were making fully informed decisions every step of the way and gave us the confidence to plan the birth we wanted. She suggested a range of great resources, from reading material to birthing tools, that we would not have otherwise been aware of. It was great to have a consistent point of contact and her ongoing support became especially important as we were put under pressure to induce in the last few weeks of pregnancy.”
Lucy & Ash | Home Birth Support
“From Mama: Angela was integral to our dream birth. From our first chat, she made us feel capable of achieving the natural, safe home birth we wanted. Through hours of Zoom calls, she empowered us — a young couple expecting our first child — to birth at home, just the two of us. Her encouragement, support, and wisdom made me feel safe, confident, and strong. Angela’s deep experience shines through her work, and I am endlessly grateful for her role in our journey.”
Lucy & Jack | Remote Birth Support
“Angela’s expertise prepared me to confidently support my partner through freebirth. Her guidance empowered me to fulfil a role traditionally reserved for midwives, helping ensure a smooth, beautiful birth. I highly recommend Angela to anyone preparing for birth, especially partners looking to play an active, confident role.”
Papa
“I had four lovely Reiki sessions with Angela she was very professional and explained exactly what she would be doing. I am always a very stressed out person and found i gradually felt much less stressed after each session. During the sessions i felt completely at ease and completely relaxed and found the Reiki really helped me my partner actually said he thought i seemed much more patient over those weeks of having Reiki. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Angela to anyone. The sessions left me feeling so relaxed and calm.”
Liz | Reiki
“I suffer from PTSD from multiple traumas including the loss of a child. I had a relapse last year which hugely affected me being a mother to my rainbow child. I have been in high level CBT for months now and Angela’s 3 step therapy has had more positive effects on my mental health than any other therapy I’ve had. I noticed changes after just 2 sessions. I have never been one to seek alternative methods of therapy but I’ve already been recommending Angela to people as the results have been incredible and truly life changing. I am able to cope so much better than before this work.”
