About me.... I'm Carole, a Birth & Postnatal Doula, totally outnumbered living with my husband, three (mostly adult) children and our dog on the beautiful East Sussex/Kent border.
I am passionate about supporting and empowering Mums and families through pregnancy, birth and their babies precious first days/weeks/months. I want to be the doula that I wished I had had all those years ago when I had my babies - providing hands on practical support, reassurance, and helping Mums relax and gain confidence in their new role.
Please have a look at my website www.flourishbirthandbaby.co.uk or give me a call to see how I could support you and your family.
Outside of doula life I love yoga and walking our pampered pooch. I love cooking (especially anything with chocolate as a main ingredient!) and, much to the embarrassment of my family, love singing loudly in the car!
