Lucy Shutes
​based in Guildford Surrey.

I am a Mum. I have three children,  My daughter was born in Greenwich District Hospital, a long drawn out affair which ended in an emergency c-section.  My son was born in Heatherwood, Ascot, an ecstatic birth!  I was much more in control of the decisions which ultimately led to a wonderful experience.  Finally, my second daughter also born in Heatherwood, hers' was a quick birth, she came straight out into the arms of her devoted Dad.
Even though my births were 'all those years ago', I still remember them like they were yesterday.

I live just outside Guildford along with my hubby Anthony.
​My children are grown but not yet flown, so there is a general high level of hubbub and energy going on in my home. I have just taken on two rescue cats called Muscatty and Missy. They are like having toddlers again...
I have a love of the outdoors and sunshine and sitting down drinking tea surrounded by family and friends.
I have recently retired as a State Registered Nurse.  I trained in Aberdeen and then moved down to Lewisham to complete my training.  
​I am proud of being a Nurse and have worked within the health sector most of my working life.  I have always been motivated in promoting women's health. 
In 2009 I was living in Dubai and working with women improving their health through fitness and diet.  One of these women suggested I look into becoming a doula.  Not long after that Nurturing Birth came to Dubai and I decided to train with them.  I am so glad I did.
I returned to the UK in 2010 and completed the Katherine Graves Hypnobirthing Course in London.
