Some many people are told they “aren’t allowed” when it comes to birthing their babies.

But pregnancy is not a medical condition that requires you to be a certain size, or a specific age, or feel a certain way.

You are pregnant and you will birth your baby. You may need some physical and emotional support … which can come from family, friends or professional support such as a doula, but at the end of the day the power lies within you.

You grew this baby and you will birth this baby… don’t let anyone try to persuade you otherwise.

If you want unwavering holistic support, birth prep or postnatal support check out our doula collective providing all these services tailored to you and your baby.

Sometimes an enquiry comes in for birth support and it feels so right, I'm drawn to support them but I may have another booking close to their guess birth date. When this happens I offer my support as well as one of my doula partners and we form your shared care team!

Shared care is when two doulas support you during your pregnancy & postpartum as a part of your 'birth support team'.
For this to work, I knew I had to find like minded doulas/birthkeepers who I felt aligned with and we compliment each other. We both come to you antenatally as we prepare together to welcome your baby - your way. This ensures that the client gets to know both of us equally as well, so that when they go into labour, the doula that arrives is a familiar face, who they trust and feel safe with.

So after many years of working with these super stars, Alex and Natalie, we have decided to formalise our doula collective... introducing www.doulainmypocket.co.uk

Jump over to our site and check us out as we continue to grow and extend our services...stay tuned, there's so much more to come soon!!
