If this is your first birth and you need some extra support .........

If your last birth was difficult and you want to make this experience a better one........

If you had a caesarean last time and want to avoid having another one.........

                       ....then you deserve a doula!    

Recent Studies show that when doulas are present at birth, women have shorter labours, fewer medical interventions, fewer caesareans and healthier babies.  Recent evidence also suggests that when a doula provides labour support, women are more satisfied with their experience and the mother-baby interaction is enhanced.                             

Doctors and midwives are responsible for monitoring labour, assessing the medical condition of the mother and baby, and treating complications when they arise - but childbirth is also an emotional and spiritual experience with long-term impact on a woman's personal well-being.  A doula is constantly aware that the mother and her partner will remember this experience throughout their lives.  By "mothering the mother" during childbirth the doula supports the parents in having a positive and memorable birth experience.

 Tina did her initial training with Nurturing Birth and is fully Recognised by Doula UK. This Recognition involved an intensive mentoring process over the course of several births before she was deemed "qualified". Maintaining this status involves ongoing training and related study days and she follows the Doula UK Code of Conduct so that any of her clients can be confident that they are receiving gold standard care.
