Doula Services
I offer both Antenatal & Postnatal Doula services, supporting you with whatever aspect of care you require. At present I do not have the capacity to offer Birth Doula support unfortunately.
My ethos is to support the family as a whole and be led by you. I have no agenda, other than to support you to enjoy your pregnancy, prepare for birth and early days with your baby. I offer practical, evidence based, down to earth care, and will be with you every step of the way.
We can make a bespoke package of care when we meet, which can include
Birth planning & preparation.
Holistic therapy session for pregnancy - pregnancy massage, Reflexology, Cranio sacral therapy.
Postnatal support in hospital or at home, including a Birth Debrief.
Specialist Breastfeeding support
Postnatal Massage, Reflexology, Cranio sacral therapy
Holistic treatments for partners too!
Cranio sacral therapy for mum and baby
I also offer Massage tuition for Birth partners sessions, teaching basic hands on massage & breathing techniques for pregnancy and labour. These sessions are a great way to give partners valuable tools to help support you throughout the third trimester and birth.
Bespoke packages available - for more information and pricing please contact me today.

Some lovely words……..
“The lovely Emma was my Doula, she has such a warmth I always feel so safe and cared for in her presence. Her knowledge from being a midwife means she has so much wisdom to relay of the whole birthing process. I felt so well informed for any eventuality that instead of feeling terrified, I felt empowered and excited to give birth. She knows exactly how to support an expectant mother through all the changes her body is going through and is on hand day and night to help talk through all the decisions that you have to make that can be overwhelming, especially for a first time mum like me, And then on top of that all of her skills in massage, aromatherapy & cranio sacral therapy are such an amazing treat to have through pregnancy, labour and after too. I really can’t recommend Emma highly enough, there is no better person to accompany you into motherhood. She is such a grounding and kind soul who kept me laughing throughout, even when times got hard, and I loved having her next to me on my journey". Kris Ollie & Albie
“ We couldn’t recommend Emma enough. She was an invaluable part of our birth experience - before, during and after. Her calming presence puts you at ease and she instills a confidencein you in the run up to birth. She empowers you to realise that as a mum, you really do know best. Her knowledge as a breastfeeding expert was so helpful in getting our little one to become established in breastfeeding. We believe everyone needs an ‘Emma’ in the run up to birth and the postpartum period. Thank you so much Emma - you’ll always hold a special place in our hearts.” Kayla, Steve & Harriet
“ Emma supported me as a Doula with both of my pregnancies and was simply the best person I could have wished to be by our side. She is able to hold space for you to discuss your fears, ground and centre you, make you laugh and keeps it real at all times! Her knowledge of pregnancy, labour, birth and what to expect postnatally, as well as her breastfeeding expertise is amazing. She has so much experience and just makes you feel as if everything is going to be ok. With my second son I had to have an emergency c-section, which was the last thing I wanted and I struggled postnatally both physically and emotionally. I felt traumatised and violated and found it hard to bond with my son in the first few weeks. We did a birth debrief with Emma and I had some CST sessions with her and really felt as if I resolved a lot of the issues I had and was able to let go of emotional stuff surrounding my birth trauma. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a doula, she is so much more than that.’ Rose
