Remote Birthkeeper Support
Every family deserves to feel informed, supported and never alone.
No matter where you live, you deserve access to compassionate, experienced birthkeepers. Geography should never determine the quality of care and support you receive during one of life's most important transitions.
Pregnancy can bring excitement, anticipation and joy, but it can also raise questions, uncertainty and moments when you simply want someone experienced to talk things through with.
Perhaps you've just left an appointment feeling overwhelmed.
Maybe you're planning a home birth, a hospital birth or a VBAC after a previous caesarean.
Perhaps you're wondering whether to accept an induction, writing your birth preferences or preparing for life with your baby after birth.
Whatever your journey looks like, you don't have to navigate it alone.
Remote Birthkeeper Support offers personalised continuity of care throughout pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of parenthood.
Together with my colleague, Michaela, we support families across the UK and around the world, combining evidence-based information with compassionate, relationship-based care to help you make informed decisions that feel right for you.
Although we won't be physically present at your birth, we'll be walking alongside you every step of the way.
Is Remote Birthkeeper Support right for me?
This service may be perfect if you:
Live outside London or internationally
Want continuity of care throughout your pregnancy
Would value experienced birthkeepers in your corner
Are looking for personalised, evidence-based guidance
Are planning a home birth, birth centre or hospital birth
Are preparing for a VBAC or HBAC
Would like support writing your birth preferences
Want your birth partner to feel informed and confident
Are preparing for breastfeeding and the postpartum period
Simply want someone who knows your story and is there when you need them
What makes this service different?
Unlike one-off appointments, this is about building a relationship.
Over the weeks and months we spend together, we'll get to know you, your hopes, your concerns and your priorities.
That means when questions arise—whether after an appointment, while making decisions or during those precious early weeks with your baby—you'll be speaking with birthkeepers who already understand your journey.
Many families tell us that this continuity of care is one of the most valuable aspects of the support we provide.

Your dedicated WhatsApp group
From the moment you book until six weeks after your baby's birth, you'll have access to a dedicated WhatsApp group with Thando and Michaela.
This becomes a space to ask questions, celebrate milestones, share updates, seek reassurance and receive ongoing support throughout your journey.
Whether you've just come home from hospital, are wondering if something is normal, would like reassurance about feeding, want advice on babywearing or simply need someone to celebrate a milestone with, you'll have experienced birthkeepers just a message away.
