Doula Support - Birth and Postnatal
Supporting you with your unique birth journey
You don’t have to navigate birth and breastfeeding alone…
-
Pregnancy
I can work with you (and your partner if you have one) through your pregnancy to ensure you feel informed and relaxed as possible. My doula clients enjoy at least two antenatal sessions with me, and I offer additional sessions such as rebozo and relaxation.
You’re at the centre of this preparation for birth and baby- we talk together about your hopes, fears and needs. I tailor my support to nurture you, and your growing family.
-
Birth
I can attend you during your birth, providing additional experienced support on top of the emotional support from your birth partner, and the clinical support from your midwife (if you choose to have them).
I have experience of homebirth, hospital birth, induction and caesarean, and I am ready to walk with you as you journey through this transformational and powerful experience to welcome your baby.
-
Postnatal
I offer support during the first days and months after birth, to help you with things such as breastfeeding, baby care, processing your birth, and dealing with the emotional transition of having a baby.
All birth clients receive at least one postnatal visit, but I also offer this as a separate service for you and your family.
I have experience of supporting families during pregnancy, through birth and feeding, right through to preschool.
I have supported over 400 families antenatally and postnatally, and have a growing community through a non-profit I run called The Nest Holmfirth CIC. I also founded Huddersfield Bosom Buddies, a local breastfeeding group.
Providing parents like you with support, information, and care is what I love to do. I’d love to work with you at such an important time in your life.

I can help with feeding, babycare, emotional support, household tasks, looking after older siblings, and holding the baby while you nap! One hour’s session starts at £40. Regular visits would be £20 per hour. Please contact me to discuss.

Positive feedback…
‘We did it! It was such an incredible experience! I listened to my body and felt that trust thanks to everything we had talked about. It’s been such a ride!’ Orla F.
‘I didn’t expect to have such a long labour with it being my second baby. I am so glad you were there, as it was too much for [husband] to do on his own. At times I think he felt a bit lost, and I felt so much more confident having you there.’ Mama who prefers to stay anonymous.
‘You completely changed how I felt about birth. I don’t know how it would have gone without your support Rebecca. We are both so grateful.’ Sumi T.
