    here are some reviews from my clients - read more here

      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…

      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…

      I hired Anne as my doula for the birth of my second child (a planned HBAC) and she was absolutely amazing. Anne was with me every step of the way through my pregnancy, supporting and offering guidance to help me make important decisions. My labour was very long, but she…

      I was birth partner for my daughter, Rachel, who had her first baby in Belfast.  Anne’s presence made the whole experience a great joy for us both.  She greatly contributed to the calm environment during the short labour. Together with the attentive care of doctors and midwives a healthy happy boy…

      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.…

      My partner and I both knew we wanted Anne as our Doula and hypnobirthing teacher for our first pregnancy and she was an absolute Superstar for us both! She is the most calming, knowledgeable and grounding person, who is such and inspiring and incredible advocate for women and their birth…

      My husband and I signed up to complete a 5-week course focused on Hypnobirthing with Anne as she had been highly recommended to us by a few friends. We are both so glad we listened and followed through as we learnt so much as first time parents and were fully…

      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…

      First time mother and so glad I made the decision to have a doula.  Honestly, I could not imagine going through my labour without Anne.  My birth plan changed massively once I arrived at the hospital and everything I was afraid of happening happened.  But I was so grateful Anne…

      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…
