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 there had been numerous doulas to choose from we still would have chosen Anne. Victoria made contact with Anne and within the same day she came out to meet our family and offered her support. From the first meeting we found Anne’s personable, sympathetic and non-judgemental character very appealing and knew that she was the perfect person to help us through this turbulent and emotionally overwhelming period in our lives.
Anne is an incredibly emotionally sensitive individual and has such a warm personality, it would be difficult not to build a strong rapport with such a wonderful lady.” Victoria & James
“My wife and I were accompanied through our second child’s birth by Anne. This was the first time we have used a doula and we can thoroughly recommend the experience.
Right from meeting Anne we felt comfortable sharing our plans for a normal delivery following a previous Caesarean section. Anne made our birth environment comfortable and allowed us to concentrate on relaxing whilst Anne dealt with the extraneous factors.
It was also great to leave Anne to look after my wife when I arrived at the hospital and parked the car. Anne stayed with us the day before the birth and the night of the birth and only left when we were settled and happy. With Anne’s help and expertise we achieved the harmonious natural delivery we had been so determined to experience. Thank you Anne!
