Birth worker, Folk Herbalist, Holistic practitioner.
Hello, I’m Catrin.
Being a mum of five in beautiful Eryri has given me a deep appreciation for the incredible strength and resilience of women, especially following birth. I was inspired to become a doula in 2017 after my own experiences showed me that postnatal support was completely lacking in today's society. We have forgotten how important it is to mother the mothers! My training with the Red Tent Doulas has given me a solid foundation in my work, which I’ve enriched with qualifications in Foundation level herbal medicine, placenta remedy preparation, pregnancy massage and ongoing studies in counselling, as well as many years of supporting families in my community! I’m a passionate folk herbalist, and truly believe in the power of nourishing food, therapeutic touch, and emotional support to help women thrive after giving birth. I offer a range of services, from cooking delicious, healing meals to providing birth debriefing. My aim is to create a warm and supportive space where you feel heard, understood and empowered. If you’re pregnant or have recently welcomed a little one, I’d love to connect and discuss how I can support you on your journey.

My fees for doula services vary depending on the type of support you require; whether it’s virtual pregnancy support or birth debrief, or physical postnatal support which includes massage and nutritious meals. The first step is to meet each other and have a chat about what your needs are, and how I can best support you. This is an important step to make sure we are on the same page, and that we feel a connection to each other.

I make two types of boxes; a small one that can be posted anywhere in the UK, and a large one that can be dropped off locally to where I live. They are filled with handcrafted products and homemade food - you can find out more on the Gegin Mama Lleuad page.

I’m located in beautiful Eryri, near Caernarfon, and am currently available to support families within the Gwynedd and Ynys Mon area. I also offer zoom consultations for pregnancy support, birth advocacy and birth debriefs.
