Step by Step Doula

After a traumatic second birth with my daughter, I decided to look for a doula. I wanted someone in the room who could advocate for me and help me feel truly cared for and Anne-Marie did all of that and more. I had shared care with Anne-Marie and another wonderful doula, Kate. We met around four times during my pregnancy, talking through any concerns, worries, or fears I had. They guided us through hypnobirthing techniques and helped us create a birth plan, leaving both my husband and me feeling confident, prepared, and in very safe hands. Anne-Marie was always available at the end of the phone, no matter the time, whenever I needed reassurance or had a question. When the birth came, Anne-Marie brought such a calm and reassuring presence to the room. My husband and I were so grateful to have her there, we felt supported every step of the way. I finally understand what women mean when they say they enjoyed their birthing experience and felt empowered. Thank you so much to Anne-Marie and Kate for helping me achieve the birth I truly deserved.

Anne-Marie helped me and my husband a lot before, during and after birth of our son. While preparation period she told us a lot of useful information about birth, getting ready for it, initial care for baby (special thanks for wonderful books and interesting articles). Anne-Marie was constantly “online” for my queries (eg my labour started spontaneously before term, but at 4am we were discussing what’s going on with Anne-Marie). During day X she provided both of us a lot of support and helped making all this journey easier and more comprehensive. Even after birth of our child Anne-Marie assisted us by giving emotional support and helpful advices - I know that she is always there for me and could rely on her. Her knowledge, kindness and soft approach are the main reasons why Anne-Marie was the best choice for us!
