Michelle Bennett

Birth & Postnatal Doula

Hello my name is Michelle and I am a mom to 5 beautiful children. Three girls and two boys. I trained as a doula in 2010 I am more than happy to support home or hospital births.

 I know how valuable it is to have good support and information to achieve a positive birth. I am here to support not only the person in labour but their partner too and I will never get in the way of that relationship. 

I will support you with feeding your baby however you choose. Although I am a trained breastfeeding peer supporter and am happy to help support you to establish breastfeeding. I offer full telephone, whatsapp and e-mail support during your pregnancy and in the early weeks after the birth. As a Mom and a doula I feel every birthing person should have access to a doula so I am happy to talk about payment plans or even trade swaps. 

I completed my birth and Postnatal doula training in February 2010 and have been working as a doula ever since. I love my job. I am a Wise Hippo (Hypno) Birthing instructor. I work with individuals and couples on a one 2 one basis so I can tailor the program to you. I am a La Leche League, NCT and Unicef Breastfeeding peer supporter and have attended a Jack Newman and Baby friendly Breastfeeding study days. I have experience in baby massage and completed a course with my own baby. I have undertaken courses in basic Homeopathy and Aromatherapy. I have done a Placenta Remedies course and can Safely make placenta smoothies, tinctures etc and I do placenta encapsulation in your own home. I also have a clean UK driver license and am a non smoker. I will support you in whatever your birth choices are regardless of age, sexuality, race or religion. 

As a Doula UK doula I have supported a huge variety of births including...Vaginal Birth after caesarean (VBAC), VBA2C, Home VBAC, Pre-Term birth (34 weeks), BBA born before arrival of the midwives,Mum with PGP/SPD, Birth after birth trauma, Mum with PTSD, Mum with Mental health issues, Homebirth, Waterbirth, Home/water birth after previous PPH, Mum breastfeeding baby with tongue tie...amongst many others.
