Doula Service in Northern Ireland

After a traumatic first birth experience with my twins I knew that having a doula would be key to having a positive second birth. I heard and read a lot about Anne and meeting her I had no doubt that she was the perfect doula for me and my family.…

Our hypnobirthing sessions with Anne totally equipped us for our birth, and gave me the confidence to make my own decisions around my options whilst in labour. Although my birthing experience wasn’t what I’d hoped for, the breathing and relaxation techniques I had learnt and applied helped me through labour…

Having Anne as our doula genuinely changed our experience of pregnancy and birth.  From the first contact to the birth itself we felt completely comfortable with her, she truly went above and beyond to be available and supportive. She ‘got’ what we needed and we felt that however the birth…

Anne supported my husband and me for my 2nd pregnancy, birth and postnatal period.  I can sing Anne’s praises all day long! She’s a wonderful doula and I recommend her to every family welcoming a new baby.  Her presence in our antenatal and postnatal journey has, in my opinion, almost…

Her presence during the birth was calming and reassuring. It is so lovely to have the continuity through pregnancy and…

We were so grateful to have Anne as our supporter while preparing for our home birth. Her warmth, heartfelt presence, and deep knowledge were an immense help, allowing us to feel even more secure throughout the birthing process. It was wonderful to follow this independent path, and to experience birth…

A friend of ours suggested that a post-natal doula might provide us with the support that we required.  She found Anne online and sent the details to Victoria.  There are currently very few doulas in Northern Ireland and so we did not interview more than one doula.  However, even if…
