It’s not always easy being a parent in the 21st Century. Very often friends and relatives are far away and we can feel alone. Also, the sheer volume of books and websites now available to new parents appears to have interfered with our instincts and confidence in listening to ourselves and our babies. If we run into difficulty we are made to feel like our babies are the ones with the problem, or that we are doing something wrong.
This is where the role of the Doula becomes invaluable.
Doulas help lift the weight off your shoulders. We tend to your every need, supporting and nurturing you, allowing you to concentrate on healing, adjusting to your new role and caring for your baby.
We are passionate individuals who feel extremely privileged to support families at this incredible time in their lives. We are empathetic, caring and patient with a keen interest in baby care and development, maternal wellbeing and the benefits of bonding and attachment. We offer suggestions and information, and are here to help you make sense of everything and tune into your intuition.
We provide a holistic support network, whether that is to sit chatting over a cuppa debriefing your birth experience, researching ideas with you, ensuring you are well nourished, popping to the shops for you and whizzing the hoover around, or enjoying baby cuddles whilst you take a shower or a long-awaited nap.
Doulas offer you and your family a listening ear, reassurance and the latest evidence-based information so that you’re left feeling confident, valued and empowered.
