Becoming a doula
As a doula, I know that you want to be empowered and confident in your birthing journey. In order to do that, many people appreciate comprehensive support and guidance. The problem is the overwhelming amount of birthing information and choices, which can create anxiety and uncertainty.
Doulas believe every birth experience should be respected and supported. I understand the importance of personalised care, which is why I offer tailored support throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal period.
Here’s how I do it: 1. Provide personalized antenatal education. 2. Offer continuous birth support. 3. Support postnatal recovery and adjustment. To stop feeling overwhelmed and instead embrace your birth with confidence and calm, reach out for a no-strings chat to get a feel for whether my companionship might feel good.
