I am a birth and postnatal doula living and working in North Wiltshire. As well as working as a doula I run a free antenatal support group called 'Optimum Bumps' and a homebirth support group called 'North Wiltshire HomeBirthers'. I hire out TENS machines and birth pools. I am a qualified breastfeeding counsellor, and run a number of breastfeeding support groups. I have trained as a maternity and nursing bra fitter and run my own nursing bra fitting service. I am also a qualified babywearing consultant and run Swindon and Devizes Sling Library.
As your birth doula I will support you during your pregnancy, labour and birth as well as the first days after your baby is born. I will assist you in achieving your desired birth experience and prepare you for your new arrival.
I am there to make you aware of the options available, enabling you to make your own informed choices, to listen to your concerns and to provide a calm and reassuring presence for you and your partner during labour.
As your postnatal doula I will offer both practical and emotional support, and when appropriate, signposting to other services.
If you want to know more, please do contact me. I am happy to discuss my services in more detail, answer any questions you may have or to set up a free, no-obligation, face-to-face meeting.
