Reba Chipman-Guest

Birth Doula

As birthing women our bodies grow rapidly and our brains must adapt to this. As hormones alter our functions, and perceptions of ourselves and the world around us change, we face a rate of growth unlike any other time in our adult life. Transition to parenthood is a steep curve and deserves to be honoured . A truly momentous life journey that lays in a place of deep respect and trust. A trust in our bodies and those that are supporting us. A place where power of the feminine is recognised. A non judgemental space to be and birth however we may choose.

Hello I am Reba, a passionate birth doula with plenty of experience in supporting women and families during one of the most profound moments in their lives.

As a 52 year old mother of 3 (32yrs, 24yrs & 22yrs old) and a proud grandmother to my 6 month old grandaughter, I deeply understand the beauty and transformative power of birth.

 I have supported births at home (both in and out of water),  Midwife Led Units and Delivery Suites.  From Houses to Yurts. A variety of couples each with a unique set of requirements. From same sex couples to multiracial couples and to women choosing to go it alone. I have even doula'd doulas!  We all have our story and I thank my lucky stars to have chosen this path or that this path has chosen me! 

I am here to listen without judgement and to help navigate your choices and preferences. 

My birth package consists of initial complimentary meeting to build a connection, followed by two to three prenatal visits tailored to your needs.  These visits cover every aspect of birth preparation, labour, and the postnatal period and can also include accompanying you to appointments and/or additional support.  I will be on call for you for up to a month (and longer if need be) and will be present at your birth wherever possible, ensuring your comfort and supporting your baby's feeding needs.

If you would like to learn more or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.  No Obligation... just a chat... feel free to reach out.

"I knew I would be physically and emotionally supported throughout my birth, and that enabled me to relax and enjoy it" 

I also offer Postnatal Recovery Massage with additional closing of the bones. 

This special recovery massage is designed to support postpartum healing and well-being. The practice of closing of the bones involves gentle, nurturing techniques that help restore the body's alignment and provide a sense of closure after birth.

The benefits include:

Physical Recovery: helps reduce swelling, relieves muscle tension, and promotes overall physical healing.

Emotional Well-being: Provides comfort and reassurance, helping to ease emotional transitions and promote a sense of calm.

Bonding and Support: Enhances the connection between the mother and her body, as well as with her newborn, fostering a nurturing environment.

This massage technique can be beneficial to women years after they have given birth. If this is something you are interested in, or you know someone who would benefit from such a treatment, then please get in touch.
