About Me

Hi, I’m Rosa Davies (she/her) and I’ve been running my classes and working as a Doula for over 17 years. I have loved working with so many pregnant folk and their partners over the years and supporting new mums postnatally. I don’t know the exact number of parents who I’ve supported but well into the 1000s!

In recent years I’ve expanded my practice into bodywork with Womb & Abdominal Massage, Myofascial Release and Postnatal Recovery Massage. Although I’m mostly known for my support through the childbirth year, these wonderful treatments are suitable for any age / stage of life.

I love my work and I am always learning. 

 


I began my birth worker training with Michel Odent and Liliana Lammers in 2004 on their Paramana Doula course and went on to complete a two year course in Natural Active Birth and Parenting with Kassandra Clemens, qualifying in 2007.

There has always been some aspect of body work in my role as a birth worker but I started on this path more formally in 2017 with The School of Bodywork and then Mizan Therapy later that year.

I’m thirsty for knowledge and I regularly attend courses, workshops and study days.
