“If a doula were a drug, it’d be unethical not to use it” John Kennell

I am a doula because I had a doula: I have felt, seen and heard first hand just how powerful it is to have someone by your side who is not only 100% on your team, but sees and understands labour, birth and the postnatal period as something other than a medical event. Believe me when I say that birth works better with a doula by your side.

For me, your journey from person to parent is a physical, emotional, mental and logistical transition that is nothing short of incredible. It can be hard, but it should never be a struggle.

My collection of doula support options allow you to get the support you need, at a price point to suit your budget.

  • Nope! While a midwife focuses on physical health of the mother or gestational parent, and baby, a doula is more holistic and less medical. I support you emotionally, logistically and mentally. I walk alongside, rather than guide, you through birth to help you find calm, confidence and control in your labour, birth and postnatal journey.

  • Doulas are scientifically proven to improve birth outcomes, but every doula does this in their own way. My passion is supporting people with the emotional side of their birth & postnatal journey. Be it fear, anxiety, restlessness, sadness and all that lies between, I am so passionate about helping people to have a positive birth experience using my wealth of experience and skills.

  • Absolutely! I am a certified birth doula (TBU Academy) and a certified postnatal doula (The Fourth CIC). I am also have up-to-date clean Enhanced DBS checks and all necessary insurances in place.
