Did I consider myself to be a spiritual person before training to be a Doula – the answer is absolutely not. Practical and to the point with a naughty sense of humour, I've always seen myself as a "get it done and think about it later" kind of woman.
Having experienced two very different birthing experiences with my own children I went with the flow and did what I was told not realising that I could challenge and question my options - nobody ever told me "it's your body, your baby, you do what you want to do and I will support you every step of the way".
Pregnancy and birth can be unpredictable, I'm here to make you feel supported, listened to and cared for throughout your experience no matter what path it takes.
I trained with Continuum Doulas on an intensive residential in Somerset. It was – and without being overdramatic – one of the most positive and enlightening experiences of my life. Turns out I do have a spiritual side after all.
In a nutshell my aim is to give you the knowledge to make empowered decisions that are right for you. To help you feel calm, safe and nurtured so that you and your partner are emotionally prepared for giving birth to your little human.
