about 

Softer Studio was founded to hold space for you —
to honour the most transformative times you will
journey through, to ground you in those tender
moments, to be the calm, and to offer you
compassion and reverence through
continuity of care.

I wanted to create an online home that can offer
support, physically and virtually, for those
navigating the highs and lows of matrescence,
while connecting my passion for birthwork, rituals
and ceremonies, holistic care, and community.

Softer Studio will help you deepen your trust in
yourself, in your body, in mother nature, and in
those around you. Softer Studio is the warmth,
the squishy, the slow, the magical in the
mundane, the comfortable pair of pants.

I want to help bring you back to the
innate wisdom we all carry within us.

MAKING SPACE FOR SOFTNESS

hello

I’m Chi — mama, creative, birthkeeper, facilitator. I am based in South Yorkshire, UK and I live with my partner, Alex, and our two girls; Marloe and Maggie.

Having had an empowering homebirth with my first
baby, I became passionate about advocating and
protecting this sacred time for families.

With a desire to support those around me whilst we were in London, I trained as a doula in 2019. In parallel, I studied other holistic modalities to help with the mental, physical, and emotional side of growing, birthing, and raising small humans in the modern world.

After moving to Berlin, and experiencing another powerful homebirth, I felt a calling to further my studies and training in birthwork.

Now back in the UK, I am devoted to learning and unlearning; to further expand my knowledge in this space. Whether it’s pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, or parenthood you’d like to feel supported in, I believe in the divine power of these rites of passage.

It is truly an honour and my absolute pleasure to walk alongside you, wherever you are on your journey.
