I am a birth and postnatal Doula based in Vale of Glamorgan. My services include: Antenatal preperation along with birth and postnatal support (see website for full details). I am fully certified through Nurturing Birth and am also a Doula UK member. You can book me simply to understand more about the labour/birth process, or to actually attend your birth to assist and support you and your birth partner. I can also visit you at home if you are a new mum who would like support with breast or bottle feeding or just need a little company/ confidence boost when your partner returns to work. I do not give out my personal views or advice but can give you information so you can make informed decisions that seem right for you and your baby!
