About Me
- I am currently taking maternity leave
- My name is Suzanne , I live in Swaffham Norfolk with my lovely husband. I am mother to two sons and a daughter who have now flown the nest, and I am also a grandmother. I enjoy the local forest’s and beaches, and my interests include, Yoga, singing , dancing, allotment gardening, creative endeavours, reading, writing and art.I love all things vintage , clothes, music and tea sets, and the cakes that go with them.
I believe that becoming a parent is an amazing experience, a time to ponder on what new life means, and to learn to make decisions that honour you, and the life of your child. Traditionally seen as a rite of passage, and as such celebrated . In todays modern world of technology , it can be a confusing time, feeling that you have to do things to fit a system. As a caring Doula I enjoy supporting a new family to be, as they make plans to welcome their child. For me its all about mothers fathers and babies, and making the most of the magic of becoming new parents. I do what I can to safeguard your experience, spending time getting to know you, listening with both my ears, drawing on my education and experience to keep the power of parenthood safely in your hands.
I attended my first birth as a doula over 18 years ago. I am a Recognised Doula Uk Birth and Post Natal Doula.
I am a Mentor to new Doulas within the recognition process of DoulaUK.
I have attended study days to expand my knowledge of breastfeeding .
I understand the philosophy of HypnoBirthing and trained with Marie Mongan to teach classes to parents.
I am an AOR Reflexologist with a special interest in maternity reflexology, and have a qualification that enables me to teach parents how to use reflexology safely with their babies.
I am a Reiki Practitioner who is qualified and experienced in also teaching reiki to others.
I have studied the principles of The Gentle Birth Method with Dr Gowri Motha and can support parents who wish to follow her program, you will find me on her list of Practitioners.
I have trained to teach Pregnancy Yoga with Tryyoga in Soho London.
Along the way I have experienced the different aspects of birth in todays world with all its choices, including hospital birth, homebirth, waterbirth, hypnobirth , twin birth, lotus birth . I have supported clients of various ages from teenage mums to parents in their 40’s. I can also support your choices for your placenta after birth.

As a postnatal doula I offer sensitive, caring, emotional and practical support to both the parents and the household to maximise your opportunity to enjoy this precious time .
