I’m a mother of 2 and live in the Ashdown Forest area. I became a doula after giving birth to my second child but it has always been something I have been drawn towards. I started midwifery studies when I was 18 but it didn’t feel quite right so never finished them. After having my own first child and going through a traumatic labour, I knew I wanted more support for my second and hired a doula. It was the best decision we could have made. When my son was born I decided to train as a doula myself and I now feel so grateful to call this my job. Every day spent with clients brings me so much joy and happiness. Being welcomed into this incredible stage of your life is an absolute honour.
