Experienced Birth & Postnatal Doula
Evidence based Birth Educator
home educating mum of two
Hello! I’m Ruth; mother, doula, lover of trees, sea and a good book.
It has been found that women have better births when they are respected, compassionately cared for, and listened to. I work with families to help these things be true so that you are in the best position to have the best birth experience possible.
"Ruth was an essential piece of our journey"
Your reasons and feelings for why you are looking for a doula are totally unique to you and your family and I want to learn all about them. When we meet I will ask you to tell me about yourself and your partner too if you have one and I will listen unconditionally and learn about your plans, thoughts, worries, and desires for birth and parenthood. It might be that you would like me to support you through a second birth following a difficult first.
"We are forever grateful to Ruth for the blissful haze that is our second child’s start to this world."
Or perhaps you are first time parent/s putting your team in place for the best experience you can have. Maybe it is your partner who is looking for an extra ear, shoulder or friendly face to remind them that all is well while you are giving birth. We often work towards a birth plan together, and practice discomfort management techniques during the antenatal meetings so that you know what to expect and I will know better what you like and what you do not. So that when the day arrives, you will be ready to meet your baby with the mindset you want and all the tools you need.
"We fully trust Ruth and wouldn’t hesitate to have her as our doula again"
Finding the doula that you connect with is important, and I will not be the right doula for everyone, so we encourage you to contact a few different people to hear our voices and see our faces. I’m sure you will feel it once you know. I’m on the end of the phone if you want to ask any questions, and my website has lots of free resources and some other doula magic. If you need to ask about payment plans or have any worries about payment, please ask as I can almost always make sure that you get the support you need in the way you need it.
I can’t wait to meet you.
