birth doula

Given my own experiences, and having witnessed other births, I know that each birth is different. Every person, couple and situation is different so there is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to preparation and education for birth and parenthood. 

As your doula I will be with you to guide you through the ‘what ifs’ and to help you see that YOU are the warrior and YOU have the power to own your birth no matter how it happens. I want you to believe in your strengths, be compassionate to your weaknesses and to be your birth. 

I will stand in your corner and will always be your advocate, researching and gathering information for you to ensure you have full knowledge and feel empowered in your birth choices.

My care packages can be tailored to suit your needs, please get in touch for a free consultation and to discuss your requirements.

• We will have 3 x 2 hour tailored antenatal sessions together which will include (but not restricted to);
