I can’t recommend Lynne enough. She was wonderfully calm, nurturing and reassuring. She listened to my fears and concerns after my previous traumatic birth and both my partner and I felt supported throughout.

What is a
doula?
A doula provides continuous support for the whole family through pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenthood. Filling a role that new mothers and families have always needed, we are there to listen, give confidence and not judge.
Why have a doula?
The evidence shows that having a doula can mean:
-
Reduced risk of Caesarean birth
-
Reduced need for painkillers/epidural during birth
-
Reduced rate of induction of labour
-
Increased parental satisfaction with the birth experience
