doula support in Chepstow

birth and postnatal doula support in Chepstow & parts of South Wales:

I went to university in Cardiff and my mum lives over the bridge from Bristol in Crickhowell so I’ve always had an affinity with South Wales. When I started my doula and hypnobirthing business I knew that I wanted to offer my services to the parts of Wales that were up to 1 hour away. The stars aligned and I began to get a fair few enquiries from parents in Cardiff, Newport, Magor, Chepstow, Tintern, Catbrook and Usk and have been lucky to be able to spread my support out to these areas.

Birth doula

I have experience of supporting in-person at births at University Hospital Wales at the central delivery suite and alongside birth centre. I have also supported at homebirths with the incredible community midwife team at UHW. If you are due to give birth in the Cardiff, Newport and Chepstow area you can find out more about my birth doula packages here.

Postnatal doula

My postnatal doula support in Chepstow and Newport has been varied. For one client I came in when their baby was 5 weeks old to help support a very tired mama and a very busy papa who ran his own business. Their baby was suffering with digestive discomfort and this meant that they had to hold her upright for an hour after every feed - this of course became exhausting and impossible to maintain without daytime support in order for them to catch up on rest. I spent 3 days a week with them, cooking, cleaning, and most importantly taking baby and the dogs out for a good long stomp so that the house was quiet and mama could catch up on sleep.

For another postnatal client I supported a surrogate mum who birthed their second baby. My role was to be there for emotional support, company and a sounding ear. We would take walks each week, eat together, play board games and slowly she began to heal from the weight of carrying a baby for 9 months and birthing a baby.
