Hannah Bracher-Smith

Hi friend! I’m Han, mama to two, wife to one, friend to many.

Ever since I was small, I remember being fascinated by humans; the way we are, the feelings we experience, the sound of laughter, the things that make each person so uniquely different. But mostly, how we begin. Birth has been one of those things in life I’ve been drawn to. Maybe it’s the strength, ferocity, instinct that’s been the thing for me; I think it’s probably a combination. But what I do know is that there is something inherently magical and otherworldly about who we are before, during, and after we become parents. However it unfolds, your story matters. It’s beautiful, complicated, wonderful, and busy, and to me that’s the most incredible journey.

After supporting countless families since 2017 in their birth space as partner and photographer, I decided it was time to make things official. I am delighted to say I’ve completed my doula certification after training with Nurturing Birth and continue to broaden my knowledge with books and courses, and of course, learning directly from my incredible families during their births.

Whether this is your first birth, or you’re a seasoned pro already, I would love to be part of your team.

My offerings include:
– First and foremost, being on your team and being your biggest cheerleader
– Prenatal sessions (standalone or included in the full doula support)
– Birth support
– Postnatal sessions (standalone or included in the full doula support)
– Birth pool hire
– Birth photography

Areas covered – up to 1.5 hours from CF11:
– Cardiff and South Wales
– Bristol
– Bath

(Please enquire if you’re outside this radius)

I am so excited to be joining you on your journey.
