Common Questions
What area do you cover?
My doula support covers families in Somerset and Wiltshire so within 1 hour of where I am based in Frome I cover Bath, Shepton Mallet, Westbury, Warminster, and Bruton. I also offer virtual doula support within the UK.
When should I book a doula?
I generally take bookings for birth and postnatal work well in advance because building a relationship is so important to both me and expectant parents. Some clients decide on a doula very last minute and book literally weeks, sometimes days, before they are due. If I’m available we can arrange to meet and if not then I’m very happy to recommend alternative doulas.
Does a doula support home birth?
Absolutely, I support home births within 1 hour of Frome.
How do I enquire to book you as my doula?
You can contact me through the website for scheduling a free chat to discuss your specific needs.
Is there any research into if having a doula leads to better birth outcomes?
Yes, research has shown having a doula present at birth:
Shortens first-time labour by an average of 2 hours
Decreases the chance of a caesarean birth by 50%
Decreases the need for pain medication
Helps partners participate with confidence
Increases success in breastfeeding
Decreases risk of PND

Can you have a doula if you are having a C-section?
Yes a doula can support you if you are booked in for a C-section. The rules for entry into theatre can vary so please contact me to discuss how I can support you with positive C-sections. Having a postnatal doula if you end up with a c section is really valuable as you are limited physically with what you can do so an extra pair of hands is very helpful.
