The Doula Element

Cheshire Doula Service at The Doula Element

Women have been supported by other women, usually aunts, neighbours, friends, mothers or grandmothers during childbirth and postnatal period for centuries and differing trends throughout the decades saw this type of support wane as a more medicalised birth was introduced as hospital clinics and maternity units increased. I believe women should continue to have access to that one to one support, whether she is a family member, a friend or a professional doula.

Birth can be an amazing, transitional experience. As a doula across the North West I am available for emotional support, guidance and can also provide educational tools to help you with your transition from womanhood to motherhood and also support your partner or older siblings. I have supported women who would like a natural birth as well as women who opt for elective caesareans. My role is flexible and your support package can be tailored to suit your families needs.
