About Me
HI, how are you? Congratulations, I’m guessing if your looking here you’ve found out your pregnant or you’ve recently had a baby!! Thanks for taking a look at my profile, I’d love to have a chat with you about how I can best support you. I am a birth and postnatal doula trained by Conscious Birthing.
If your looking for a antenatal and birth doula,I love to listen to you and find out what kind of birth journey you would like to go on and then walk alongside you. I hope to provide you with the information and support you need to help you feel more in control and held and supported throughout your birth. I’m passionate about helping parents to have the birth story they want by sharing my knowledge with you and talking about your dreams and your concerns so that you have the choice!
If you are looking for a postnatal doula, again I love to listen to you to find out how you would like to be supported and tailor my support to you. So it could involve jobs from doing the washing up to, making a cup of tea to letting you have a nap while I care for baby. Plus lots of knowledge and support about transitioning to being parents, both emotional and physical. I also provide homemade cakes, essential for any postnatal woman and her partner!!
A little bit about me!
I am married and a the mum of 3 gorgeous teenage boys who I am loving watching grow and develop into lovely young men. I love the outdoors especially the sea, beach, walking with family or friends.sharing food of any kind and a wee bit of running. All of my son’s births were in hospital. My first son was a vaginal delivery with some intervention, my next two were vaginal delivery listening to my body and allowing nature to do her thing! All beautiful yet very different. Now looking back I wish I had read more around birth before embarking on that journey so that I had the knowledge to make the right choice for me. I can’t wait to share this knowledge with you!

Reviews
I would not have had the confidence to have a home birth without her. It
was the most empowering experience of my life and I feel it has healed
lots of trauma from my first birth. Everyone needs a Gail at their birth!!
‘She was able to assess our needs beyond what we even saw ourselves and made us feel so safe throughout pregnancy and birth. Everytime I had any doubt Gail would just empower me to know I could do it and had nothing to fear.’
Thank you Gail for being there. It truly meant the world that we knew we could call or message you about anything during this journey. Your advice and expertise meant I gave birth on my terms and your guidance allowed us to not feel so scared and confused during a new experience for us. You were our rock and our baby was brought in with love and confidence, in part to you.
