Doula Service in Northern Ireland

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…

Anne was absolutely invaluable to us throughout my pregnancy. We heard about Anne through two different couples who both had home births. From the moment I got in contact with Anne I just loved her. Anne has such a calming presence and a wealth of knowledge on birthing. You can…

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…

When I tell you I would have baby no.6 just to have Anne by my side again I would in a heartbeat, but we must sensibly halt at 5 😅 Jesting aside, I wish I had of new Anne years ago, if I did I would have had her at…

I definitely recommend Anne as a doula, she is so considerate and is an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s friendly, energetic and makes you feel so so comfortable to be around.  From day one I knew Anne was the doula me and my partner wanted to help us birth…

I had an amazing experience with Anne from start to finish. I would not go through birth without a doula in future. From educational support before birth (going through all the details you miss in the NHS zoom calls, taking questions, helping to create a birth plan), to practical support…

I felt safe with Anne right from the off. She was recommended to me through another doula I went to school with and after a previous traumatic emcs I really needed a professional I could trust. On the big day she intuitively knew when to be there and when to…

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…

Thank you for supporting us throughout our birthing journey.  It really was more amazing that I could have imagined!  You are a fantastic doula.  I hope you can continue to do the work you do, and many more babies can be born to parents with your support and expertise.

The service Anne provided throughout the pregnancy and during birth was wonderful. She was very supportive of our birth wishes and took the time to thoroughly read and discuss our birth plan, which was very reassuring for both my partner and myself. Being the Father during pregnancy and birth can…
