4th April 2026: The Opening of The Birth From Within Studio:

Hi, my name is Tess and I am very excited about the launch of Birth From Within. I have over 3 decades of experience in midwifery, parenting and supporting families, this work is truly at the heart of who I am. I am a mother of five, and I know first-hand that every birth, every baby, and every journey into parenthood. is completely unique.

I am passionate about pregnancy, birth and parenting and love to empower women and partners to trust themselves through their own unique path. My journey has led me to step away from the current medical system and follow a more holistic, heart centred approach - one that honours your voice, your choices, and your inner knowing. You may hear me described as a Birth Guardian, Birth Keeper, Birth Doula…whatever name you wish to attribute to me ultimately, I am here to walk alongside you, supporting you in a way that feels right for you. I started this journey planning and evolving Birth From Within for just over a year now, which started with support groups and classes. It has grown and as I moved into 2026 I knew I needed my own space. I set this thought into motion and …On April 4th 2026 I officially opened the BIRTH FROM WITHIN STUDIO, in Torquay, Devon. This day was chosen in honour of my mum, as it was her birthday. My mum was a strong, beautiful and determined woman and I believe I inherited many of her positive attributes and this was my way of thanking her from deepest part of my heart.

At Birth From Within Studio, I offer bespoke classes, workshops and consultations, birth support, products, support groups, and mini-retreats so that you can optimise your well-being and knowledge for your own unique journey. These offerings are aimed to empower, inform and are grounded in evidence and intuition - helping you build confidence and trust in your own ability to birth and parent your baby. Because no two journeys are the same, everything I offer is tailored to you.

This ‘BLOG’ is an extension of that support, sharing insights, reflections and guidance on a range of topics around pregnancy, birth, and parenthood and of course sharing my journey and growth. I’d love for this to be a space for connection too, so your thoughts, experiences, and reflections are always welcome.

If you would like to explore how I can support you, you can book a free 30minute call with me. And if what you find here resonates, I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you step into this powerful and transformative chapter of your life

With love

Tess
