Meet Alex

I have always cared deeply for others and since becoming a mother I've become passionate about supporting women and people to have better births. I trained as a doula after having my daughter and am now a trauma-informed birth worker and psychological therapist, passionate about supporting people to feel empowered and informed in their birth choices. I believe that birth is a physiologically normal event, the vast majority of the time. I also believe in a woman and mother’s innate ability to know what is right for her and her baby, whatever that looks like.

 

Both anecdotal and research evidence tells us that continuous support from someone like a doula helps in a number of ways including: increased production of oxytocin, the natural biproduct of feeling safe, comfortable and relaxed in the supportive presence of someone familiar, increased self-esteem and increased satisfaction with the birth experience.

 

If you'd like to find out more, please get in touch by completing the form below (free 15 minute enquiry call booking service coming soon); I can’t wait to meet you and start supporting you on this extraordinary journey.

Why work with a doula?
