Doula Service in Northern Ireland

I hadn’t heard of doulas until I was listening to a podcast after my first, very traumatic experience of birth. When I found out I was pregnant again one year later, I knew I would need the emotional support and security of having a Doula. I contacted Anne early in…

Fate brought Anne to us: It’s very difficult to sum up in a paragraph exactly how wonderful Anne is, not only as a doula but as a person. We were planning a home birth in water and my yoga teacher recommended Anne saying she had heard such great things about…

I think that especially in Northern Ireland the conversation is more likely to be ‘have you thought about having a doula?’ as many people are still not familiar with the idea and the associated benefits. I would strongly encourage anyone to have a doula involved in their birth. I think…

Our third birth has been quite the ride, with a pregnancy through Covid, online zoom HypnoBirthing, to an induced hospital birth and emergency delivery! We know for certain we wouldn’t have got through it all as well without your influence, guidance, knowledge and presence… We are very grateful.  The involvement…

We studied hypnobirthing with Anne and we cannot recommend doing this course enough. We loved that it was just Anne teaching us each week so we could have her undivided attention and ask her all the questions that came up. It really helped my husband prepare and he drew a…

I had my first baby in the height of lockdowns and felt my birth wishes were steamrolled. When I found out I was pregnant again I knew this time I needed a doula and thankfully found Anne. As soon as my husband and I met her we knew we needed…

I honestly cannot put into words how grateful I am for Anne and the support she gave me throughout my birth journeys. From the very beginning, her experience and calm presence made me feel completely safe. She helped me understand birth & not to be afraid.Thanks to Anne, I was…
