About Me
Hello and congratulations on your pregnancy!
Who am I?
My name is Hannah and I am a passionate doula, antenatal educator and wellbeing mindset coach. I care deeply about supporting families to feel powerful and at the centre of their experience, often in a society and system that makes them feel like just a number.
I work with expectant parents from bump and beyond – whether I am your constant companion as you learn through your pregnancy, providing excellent emotional and physical support at your birth, and helping you ease into those key transitional times after your baby arrives. Just check out the feedback from the families that I have been so grateful to support.
My approach
Just like you, your birth and postpartum experience will be unique. I often say to clients that I don’t mind whether you have your baby on the top of Mam Tor or in ASDA carpark! Whatever feels right for you.
What matters to me is you feel confident, in control and trust in your body and instincts. You likely already know the power in investing in your mental and physical wellbeing, and the doula care, antenatal courses and coaching I provide are an extension of this for you and your baby.
I am a firm believer in informed choice and you-centred care. Throughout our time together, I will provide evidence-based information, unbiased support and resources, allowing you to make informed decisions that align with your values, preferences, and unique circumstances.
Your physical and mental wellbeing are at the heart of my doula practice, and I am dedicated to ensuring you have the knowledge and support to make the choices that are right for you and your baby.
What do I offer?
I love supporting all types of family and birth and have experience in supporting lots of common situations from VBAC, to home birth, to inductions and more.
I also offer a wealth of holistic services including:
- Birth pool hire (this is included FOC in my doula packages)
- Aromatherapy
- Rebozo and birth mechanics sessions
- Relaxation sessions
- Postpartum circles
- Baby massage
- Retreats and pregnancy events
- Hypnobirthing
- Infant feeding support
- Postnatal doula support including meal preparation
I have built my own antenatal course using the wealth of knowledge I have gained in my doula and hypnobirthing journey so far. I believe it is the very best course for getting powerfully prepared for birth and beyond and it is included as standard in all of my doula packages. This is important to me as I find it helps us get off to the best start, and also leads to very good outcomes for parents and babies.
I completed my doula training with Every Birth Matters, which is a Doula UK Accredited course and trained to deliver hypnobirthing with Katherine Graves. I also volunteer for Doulas without Borders which has given me a wide range of rich experiences also.
I am constantly investing in my personal development to grow my skills and services for you.
When I’m not in ‘doula-mode’
I see and feel the value in investing in my mindset, my health and wellbeing. I love reading, listening and learning about how I can better help people step into their power and achieve what is important to them.
I love going on adventures, and so you’ll often find me exploring with my two dogs, husband and our three children in the peaks. I definitely feel at home amongst the trees!
When I’m not in Mum, Wife or work mode, I like to swim, do weightlifting, go to yoga classes and attend women’s circles.
I can’t wait to get to you know and support you on your journey through bump, birth and beyond.
