Mentored Birth Doula & Mentored Postnatal Doula

“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.” ― Barbara Katz Rothman

Hello, I’m Hannah, a Continuum Doula, Breastfeeding Peer Supporter, Mother Companion for Project MAMA and qualified Reiki Practitioner.  I’m also a mum to two young children, whose births shaped not only my motherhood, but my deep commitment to walking alongside others on their journey.

My first birth took place during the COVID-19 lockdown—a time of isolation, uncertainty, medical interventions, and feeling unheard. It was a challenging experience, and one that left me determined to do things differently. With my second baby, I gave birth gently and powerfully at home, surrounded by support, knowledge, and trust in myself. That experience taught me just how transformative it can be when we feel informed, respected, and empowered—and it’s exactly what I now strive to offer others as a doula.

What I Offer

As a Continuum Doula, I provide full-spectrum support that spans your whole journey—from pregnancy, through birth, and into the postpartum period. My support includes:

  • Six antenatal sessions to build connection, explore your preferences, and prepare emotionally and practically for birth and baby.
  • Continuous birth support wherever and however you birth—holding space for you, offering comfort, and ensuring you feel safe and seen.
  • Six postnatal visits focused on rest, recovery, feeding support, and your emotional wellbeing as you settle into life with your baby.

This continuity allows us to build a trusting relationship—something I believe is at the heart of truly personalised care. 

I do of course understand that the full Continuum package might not be for everyone and can thus tailor my support to suit you -  perhaps you would just like birth support or perhaps you need some SOS support in the post natal period.

My Approach

My work is rooted in listening deeply and holding space for whatever you bring. I aim to be a calm, grounding presence, whether you’re planning a home birth, navigating medical systems, recovering from previous experiences, or simply looking for someone to walk beside you without judgment.

I draw on a range of tools and experiences to support you holistically. Birth is not just a physical experience, but an emotional, social, and spiritual rite of passage. My support is inclusive, person-centred, and tailored to you.

Let’s Connect

Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, whether you're feeling excited, anxious, overwhelmed—or all of the above—I’d love to support you to feel confident, informed, and held.

If my approach speaks to you, please do reach out for a free initial chat to see if we’re a good fit. You don’t have to do this alone.
