I take what is meaningful and make it impossible to ignore.
I’m Emma. I write books, I read energy and I direct creative work that makes people feel something. I don’t follow industries. I follow one philosophy: giving attention to what matters.
Sometimes I know something before I have the words for it.
I notice things. The energy in a room. The thing nobody’s saying. The truth sitting quietly underneath a brand, a book or a person, waiting for someone to pay attention.
My intuition isn’t a side note to my work. It’s how I move through the world. I call it psychic perception, because that’s what it is for me. You’re welcome to call it whatever sits right with you.
For years that antenna lived in the birth room. Sitting with women through pregnancy and birth showed me how completely we’re shaped by connection. That’s where my fascination with oxytocin began, and it’s never let me go.
The birth world was bland. Everyone was saying the same floral shit.
So I did it differently. The Naked Doula led with rawness, realness and fun. It changed how birth was received, and it changed how other birth workers and industry leaders showed up. It’s still going strong. And it showed me what I actually do.
It’s about women, yes. But it’s also about children, nature, love, grief, oxytocin and the extraordinary experience of being human.
Some days that’s a book. Some days it’s a campaign for the natural world, a conversation on a podcast, or a woman’s story finally making it onto the page. The thread is always the same.
Many expressions. One thread.
I write, speak, publish and direct creative work. All of it comes back to five things I care about.
The Biology of Belonging
My third book. Before it came The Fearless Birth Book and Journal. There’s more on the way.
Curious Cat Publishing
My publishing house for meaningful books. You write it. I guide you as creative director and editor, helping you capture the essence of what you’ve lived and what you know.
The Naked Doula
Visual birth education and the Fearless Birth Toolkit. The movement that showed me what I do.
Messages that matter
Amplifying whatever people are here to say. A big cultural shift. A woman with something to share. Whatever matters to them.
Giving Attention to What Matters
Essays, observations, voice notes and early book excerpts. The unfinished thinking too.
Conversations That Matter
Real conversations about human connection, stories and whatever we discover along the way.
The Oxytocin Army
A free community for women who work with women. Because who’s holding space for us?
CPD courses
CPD for birth workers and women who work with women, built from The Biology of Belonging.

Born in Nottingham and rooted in the Midlands. Mum of two.
Grief has shaped me too. I lost my mum while I was pregnant with my first child. I’ve never turned that into a neat lesson, and I’m not sure I should. But so much of what I’ve explored since, about connection, belonging and what holds us together, grew from there.
The Biology of Belonging
Oxytocin: the hidden chemistry of human connection
It started as a fascination with a single hormone. It became a much bigger question about what it means to be human, and the invisible threads that bind us to ourselves, each other and the living world.
The Fearless Birth Book and Journal
My first two books, written as The Naked Doula.
The Fearless Birth Book: Find Your Power, Influence Your Birth is a visual, accessible guide to taking an active part in birth by paying attention to the body and the mind.
The Fearless Birth Journal: Growing Your Mind-Body Connection Throughout Pregnancy is its companion for the months of pregnancy.
Hire me to amplify your voice.
You already know what you want to say. You’ve got the vision and you’re passionate about it. What you need is someone who sees what others don’t, and can make it impossible to ignore.
This is what I do. I take what is meaningful and make it impossible to ignore.
I work where intuition, storytelling, publishing and creative direction meet. I see the things others miss: the angle, the feeling, the truth underneath what you’re saying. Then I help you bring it into the world in a way that makes people feel something.
I did it with birth. The birth world was bland, full of people saying the same thing in the same soft, floral way. The Naked Doula led with rawness, realness and fun, and it changed how birth was received and how birth workers and industry leaders showed up. Now I bring that same instinct to your message.
I work with women, founders, authors and movement leaders who have something meaningful to say. It might be big. It might be deeply personal. You bring the vision and the passion. I bring the eyes that see what others don’t.
How we can work together.

Write and publish your book
You write it. I guide you through it as creative director and editor, helping you capture the essence of what you’re really trying to say. Through Curious Cat Publishing, from the first spark to a book that’s emotionally true and ready for the world. Your voice stays yours.

Amplify your message
Whatever your message is for the world. It might be a big cultural shift you know needs to happen. It might be something you’ve lived, something you need to say, something close to your heart that you know other women need to hear. We find the angle, the story underneath it and the feeling that makes people stop and look again.

The Unsaid Sessions
One to one intuitive creative direction. We cut through the noise, listen for what your work is really trying to say and work out where it needs to go next.
What we actually do together.
- Seeing what others don’tI use intuitive perception to find the angle, the feeling and the truth in your vision that will make people stop. The thing that turns your passion into something nobody can scroll past.
- Clearing what’s stuckWe find where things are snagging, in the structure, the message or the energy, and bring your attention back to what matters.
- Shaping your bookYou do the writing. I help you capture its essence and shape your lived experience into a book that works on the page and in the market, for Curious Cat or your own release.
- Finding your voiceWe find the emotional heart of your message and the language that makes people feel it, whether that’s a campaign, a brand or a body of work.
Let’s start with a conversation.
I read every message myself. I only say yes when it feels right for both of us, so tell me what you’re working on and why it matters to you.
Giving Attention to What Matters.
Essays, observations, voice notes and stories. Some finished, some still unfolding.
I don’t believe in picking one subject. I follow one philosophy, so you’ll find all sorts here: birth and belonging, nature and family, love, grief, intuition and the strange, beautiful business of being human.
The first essays are on their way.
Until then, I share what I’m noticing on Instagram.
Let’s connect.
Conversations, collaborations, keynotes, publishing and projects that deserve more attention.
If it matters to you, I’d love to hear about it.
