Postnatal Doula

What does a PN Doula actually do??? Well, no two doula sessions are alike. Being a PN Doula is NOT the same as a maternity nurse or a nanny, it is mother focused, and my intention is to take the edge off the intense new role, and help mother ease into it gracefully. I can look after baby while the mother has a well deserved rest, do light housekeeping, cook simple meals, help with tasks such as food shopping, and help with care for an older child.

Hello I’m Erin, and I must admit that I looked forward to pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood my entire life. However, after the birth of my first child that didn’t go the way I wanted, and my notion that breastfeeding would be the most natural thing in the world, I struggled to adjust to this unexpectedly strange role. Being a mother was not the blissful experience I had been imagining my whole life, but rather it was full of doubts, fear, and basic needs that were not being met. My battered body was trying to heal as I attempted to carry on as before, keeping up with the day to day tasks like normal.

​I was very fortunate to get help with breastfeeding; this was just before giving up. And although some dear ones brought meals from time to time, I felt isolated like never before. I had never imagined motherhood could be such a wonderful yet lonely experience at the same time!

​After the birth of my second child, I felt that I needed to ‘give back’ for the guardian angel helper that literally changed my life. Therefore, I trained as a breastfeeding helper with The Breastfeeding Network. While volunteering on the ward of the Royal Berkshire Hospital, I trained again as a supporter and then secured a role alongside the NHS that lasted five years, helping hundreds and hundreds of women to get breastfeeding off to a good start.

In addition to doula sessions, I also offer Infant Feeding training for expectant parents as well as other doulas! please see my website- https://erinzohrehie.wixsite.com/website My services also make a perfect gift for a new mum, and I have been 'gifted' several times.
