A Local York Doula

I am Hannah, a mother of two children living in York and I am passionate about encouraging women in confidence to have a calm gentle birth in York, Leeds and Harrogate.

For everyone there will be a local doula with whom you have a warm rapport and this will be someone who believes you can birth in your chosen way. I may be this person so please make contact and we can arrange an informal chat.

I have attended births at birth centres, hospitals and at home. A number of women have had VBAC's and a few have had home water births after a a previous caesarean (HWBA1C). 

Doula's can inspire confidence, provide reliable continuity, emotional and practical support in most situations. For the most part I have been chosen by first time parents choosing home birth with the NHS, mothers who have previously experienced a traumatic birth, mothers who have had caesareans and are planning VBAC. I work with you at your own pace to debrief previous experiences of which may impact on the birth and parenting of your new child. This involves giving you knowledge based on research so you are making informed decisions, and being there for you unconditionally. Doulas are not just for mums but they provide a great deal of support to partners and men who have needs of support as well.
