My name is Trudi, I live in East Sussex (although until July 2012 I  lived in London) and have three children. I have been a doula since 2007. In my work as a Birth doula I have assisted women in homebirth, waterbirth, hospital birth, cesarean, twins, etc. I have been booked "to make sure I get my epidural on time" and, at other times, to support a birth to be as natural and unmedicated as possible. I have a very serious passion for the postnatal care of women. I have supported first time mums, fourth-time mums, twin mums and everything in between. I not only offer on-going postnatal doula support, but also one-off visits for feeding and crisis support (including sleep consultations).  I feel strongly about making mum the central hub of the support - my moto is "If mum's happy, everyone's happy!" I have no pressing views on how you should feed your baby, hold your baby, where you put him to sleep or which nappy you use. My aim is to support you in whatever your parenting choices are (and sometimes help you understand those choices if the overwhelming 'noise' of helpful advice has just got too much!) and to make the addition of a new baby to your family a happy and stress-free experience. I am a qualified Antenatal Educator (FEDANT-approved) and offer separate Birth Preparation classes and have developed a stand-alone Breastfeeding Preparation Workshop, that I run every 6-8 weeks. I can also deliver these courses on a 1:2:1 basis in your home. This might be particularly useful for 2nd time mums who wish to include a previous Birth Debrief into their Birth Planning. I can also offer Birth Debrief sessions and infant sleep consultations. I am also a qualified Yoga Instructor and run Pregnancy and Postnatal Yoga classes in the local area.
