My Services
Doula Care
Birth is incredible and I love to support all kinds of birth whether you choose a hospital birth, home birth, caesarean birth, VBAC, first time birth and subsequent births!
Birth support packages include birth preparation, antenatal information and hypnobirthing.
Antenatal Classes
Preparing for birth can feel incredibly empowering and can support you and your partner to feel confident, excited and prepared for birth.
My 5* rated birth preparation classes blend evidence based antenatal education, hypnobirthing and my experiences and knowledge of the maternity system as a doula.
Birth Trauma Support
Three Step Rewind Process to help you heal from your birth or perinatal experience in a safe and non-judgmental space.
“I LOOK BACK WITH SO MUCH JOY”
We hired Kerry for doula support for the birth of our son in April... It's hard to put into words how invaluable having her at our birth was, especially as I ended up needing an unplanned c section.
Kerry advocated for us, and made us feel in control in a situation where without her, I think it could have felt traumatic and easily become a birth experience I don't look back at with fondness.
Before and after the birth Kerry was there to help with any questions we had, nothing felt like too much and she created a relaxed, judgement free environment and provided me with the confidence I needed going into birth.
I look back at my birth with so much joy and having Kerry there is absolutely a part of that - Thank you for everything❤️
