Antenatal & Birth Doula Support

As your birth doula, I support you and your partner (if you have one) during pregnancy, labour and birth, offering continuity of carer (which is proven to be beneficial), supporting you with your birth wishes, providing information (if you wish) with comfort measures and pain relief options available to you. I can also assist you with informed decision-making tools to help you decide what feels right for you. My priority is you and what you want and need to enable you to feel empowered during your birth, in any birth location or scenario. I am her to make you feel like the birthing goddess you are, in any birth scenario.
You can include Hypnobirthing education into this package if you wish. Get in touch to find out more...

Postnatal Doula Support

As your postnatal doula, when all eyes might be on your newborn baby, my job is to “mother the mother” and provide nurturing emotional, practical and informational support in the vulnerable early days, weeks or months after your baby is born, helping you transition to life with a baby and thrive both physically and mentally.

What is a Doula?

A doula is a person who provides nurturing emotional, practical and informational support to you and your partner (if you have one) during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period; supporting you while you navigate an intense transformational period in your life. 

Postnatally, at a time when all eyes might be on the newborn baby, a doula’s job is to “mother the mother” and make you feel like a goddess no matter where or how you give birth. The word 'doula' originates from ancient Greek language and means 'a woman who serves'. As a doula, I have no agenda, other than offering you options, information and supporting you to feel empowered to find the way that suits you best and help you thrive.

​​My training & qualifications​:

I'm a self-confessed birth nerd and following my initial Hypnobirthing teacher training in 2021 I have most recently completed my Doula training as well as becoming a Breastfeeding Peer supporter for Leeds Bosom Buddies. I continue to further my birth knowledge through reading, podcasts and CPD courses that enable me to support your birth preparation and beyond into parenthood. ​I'm insured and FEDANT (Federation of Antenatal Educators) accredited meaning I have professional standards to uphold.​
