I live in High Wycombe with my husband, our two teenage daughters and a very soppy spaniel. Alongside being a doula I also teach pregnancy yoga, hypnobirthing, mum & baby yoga, and baby massage.
Having two children under two taught me just how incredible, intense and overwhelming birth and the early days of motherhood can be. There’s so much to take in and so many decisions to make - and that’s where having a doula by your side can make all the difference.
Birth doula
As your doula, I’ll be there to make sure you feel safe, heard, and cared for. During your pregnancy, we’ll spend time together (in your own home, with your birth partner) talking through your hopes and preferences for birth. I’ll help you prepare for labour and birth, understand your options and feel confident navigating the maternity system. I’m there to support both you and your birth partner to feel calm and empowered in your choices.
In a system where you might meet lots of different healthcare professionals, I’ll be your constant - a familiar, reassuring presence. If you’d like, I can even come to appointments with you for extra support.
I don’t believe there’s one “right” way to give birth - whether you’re planning a home birth, a hospital or birth centre birth, or a caesarean, I’ll support you to have a positive experience, whatever that looks like for you.
After your baby is born, I’ll visit when you’re ready so we can check in, chat about the birth if you’d like to and make sure you’re feeling supported. I’ll be available for the first four weeks, offering phone or message support whenever you need a listening ear.
Postnatal Doula
As your postnatal doula, I’m here to help you find your feet in those early days.
That might mean making you lunch, folding the washing, holding your baby so you can rest, or simply sitting with you for a chat. Every visit is shaped around your needs.
If you're looking for kind, calm, down-to-earth support and someone who really listens, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s have a chat and see if I might be the right doula for you. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to email me directly or follow the link on my website to get in touch! Steph x
