Welcome Expecting Parents…
As a UK certified doula I offer prenatal, birth and postnatal services for any who require friendly, professional support.
By offering the tools and knowledge to help you make those important, informed decisions throughout your birth journey, whether it be in regards to having a home or hospital birth, no medication or all the medication, having a water birth or not, I can help you plan and have your dream birth.
There are so many aspects involved in a birth that have an impact on the birth journey and how a loved one comes into the world, that having a supportive professional who can help the whole family, physically, emotionally and informationally.
As ‘The Cwtchy Doula’ I will support you the way a Cwtch can, with a sense of offering warmth and love in a safe and embracing way.
My Personal Profile
