Meet Our Doulas
Thankyou notes
“After following the 'Confident Birth Course' I felt inspired to have a natural birth. My partner and I felt that having a doula by our side during labour would make it easier and enrich the process.
We are so happy that we made that choice! Sophie was very encouraging and supportive during the labour and always seemed to know exactly the right moment to say and do the right thing. Her support helped to make our birthing experience a great and positive memory and her amazing birth photography was a real gift"

“Thanks for being with us through this amazing process. We appreciated your unbiased and emotional support with the decisions we needed to make, and especially how you helped us navigate through a birth that we knew couldn't be 'natural.'
It was great to find a Doula who was there for us when that meant we would be having the full hospital experience. Thank you for not judging us and respecting our wishes for the birth"
