“Giving birth for the first time is the most life changing event that a first time mum will go through. My advice to anyone thinking about hiring a doula is to do it - don’t think twice.

Alice has a wealth of knowledge and is very understanding and non judgemental about the type of birth that you envisage, it is so obvious how passionate Alice is about birth.

When I fell pregnant I did not even consider that I would give birth without pain relief. But through all of our sessions with Alice, research and practicing hypnobirthing, I decided I wanted to try experience a physiological birth (again with no pressure or judgement from alice) and I ended up being able to give birth to our baby in the bath on only gas & air.

I am so grateful to Alice for the support she provided both me and my partner.

During birth Alice was calm and supportive, and also acted as our advocate with the medical staff. I am now a huge advocate for talking about birth in a positive way and thankful to Alice for helping us see how beautiful birth can be, too often we only hear about the traumatic stories! We highly recommend Alice’s services.”

“Alice was always available and that she was there for me was the most significant thing about her support and help. It didn't matter if I had a question or if I just needed someone to vent about the poor care I received at the hospital, Alice always listened, answered my messages, and somehow knew what I needed to hear to keep me going. She helped me to down and regain my confidence every time. I could always reach her, for which I could never be grateful enough.

[Having Alice as my doula] was the best decision I could have made for myself during pregnancy. I reached out to Alice at the very beginning of my journey and always felt like her being there for me as my doula was the best thing that could have happened to me. I honestly think every pregnant woman should have a doula, their support is absolutely invaluable.”
