For a different kind of birth.

A little about me

Rooted in 20 years of attending births.

I'm Evony, a birthkeeper, educator, author and former midwife.

I know the maternity system from the inside. I've spent more than 20 years attending births, and four years working as a birthkeeper in the space beyond the rules we have come to believe are true.

My work brings together professional experience, a deep understanding of birth physiology and a belief that women deserve more than being told what to do. I'm interested in what happens when we move beyond the expected, trust the body's capacity to birth and make room for women to reclaim their own experience.

As a contributor to Weaving Our Way Beyond Patriarchy , I've explored the wider cultural forces that shape how we understand birth, women's bodies and our relationship with authority.

  • Alex, Homebirth, 2nd Baby

    I had wished for a peaceful home birth, but instead I had a long, hard and chaotic birth in hospital. That’s when Evony came into my life - she helped me move past my fears and created a container so what mattered to me could emerge clearly. I really didn't believe in myself at first. Within just a couple of sessions with Evony, I started to see a real shift in how I felt. We talked, we processed, and she held space for my fears until they started to feel smaller. Slowly, that doubt transformed into a deep, quiet sense of empowerment. She didn't just give me information; she helped me get back my belief in my own body.

  • I truly cannot express how much Evony positively helped my pregnant and birthing mind. She was with me throughout pregnancy to talk to and when it came to my beautiful birth, I couldn't have asked for a more incredible experience with her by my side. You are an amazing birthkeeper!

  • I will literally be grateful to you for the rest of my life Ev. Your work is so important.

  • Hannah, independent midwifery client, homebirth.

    Words can never sum up the positive emotional impact Evony has had on our lives. I hired Evony as a private midwife and had a beautiful healing homebirth after a traumatic second birth. Birth is such a vulnerable time but with right care can be a truly empowering experience. Me and my family will be forever grateful for the care Evony provided. She is worth her weight in gold!
