Birth Doula Support - Please contact me for my Price List and availability.
A birth doula is a compassionate, loving woman who believes that childbirth is a normal part of life. As a doula, I trust that the overwhelming majority of women in my care will be able to birth naturally. However, I will support every client in her choice of birth environment and mode of birthing. I provide continuity of care, strive to be a beacon of hope and will never cease to look for the good in any situation I meet.
I am one hundred percent committed to the expectant, labouring and new mother's wellbeing and her physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual safety. I am independent of outside control and have no agenda other than to provide emotional care, information and skilled practical support.
I recognise that giving birth to your child is a key experience that you will remember all your life. I have a full understanding of the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman and her partner in labour.
I offer a free consultation to talk about my services further and answer any questions. This can take place in the comfort of your home or via Skype. As a member of Doula UK I also have access to a Hardship Fund which has been setup to assist towards the cost of hiring a doula. Please click

Testimonials:
"Kicki certainly enhanced my birth experience. When she arrived at my home, and later when we were reunited at the hospital, I immediately felt profound relief and experienced a drop in the level of pain, and felt reassured, comforted and more able to cope. I had not realised how preoccupied my husband would be with the other children and with organising stuff and how very little help he was in supporting my labour process. I reached full dilation with only TENS as pain relief, coping with the pain naturally. It would have been much harder without Kicki " Jacqui
"Kicki was instrumental in assuring I had a fantastic birth experience. I am absolutely sure that had she not been there it would have been very different." Debbie
"Kicki was very reassuring, kind and a good listener. She makes you feel very relaxed and comforted. I ended up having an elective c-section since labour did not happen, but the 2 hours plus that I was waiting, Kicki was calming me down and massaging me. It helped immensely." Toni
"We have no doubt that without Kicki, the birth of our daughter, would have been a much more traumatic experience for us both. Kicki gave me endless support and gave my husband space to leave the room when he wished, knowing I would not be alone." Carolyn
"Kicki was amazing! We couldn't think of anything she could've done better. She was with us 100% the whole way. I still feel so grateful." Karen
"Having Kicki gave us confidence. Knowing that we were walking into a hospital environment with someone who'd protect our interests plus be there soley for us was fantastic. I will always remember Kicki telling me "You're doing so well" at a time in labour when things were spiraling out of control and intervention was threatened. Her voice was always calm and assuring. She was priceless." Alison
"I cannot recommend Kicki highly enough. I went into the final stages of pregnancy far more relaxed than I would have been without her. She made us feel more confident & stronger to deal with such a life changing event." Sarah
