Hi there
I completed my doula training in October 2008 and I am now qualified as a birth and post-natal Doula.
At the moment, I am in the process of working towards recognition status with Doula UK (www.doula.org.uk) so therefore I am offering my services a very discounted rate.

If you are pregnant and looking for a Doula, please do get in touch...x

Hi, who did you do your doula training with? I am looking into it at the mo and trying to get a group of people together who would come to the verwood area of Dorset(20 mins from Southampton) and do their 3 day training. I'm new to the site so hope you have some ideas as to where I should post this info! Ta x

You'd have to drive awfully fast to get from Verwood to S'ton in 20 minutes.

I guess that's prob on a clear run. Def no further than 30 minutes as I live in verwood and it's quicker to get to westquay than it is to get to Poole x

We have a hardship fund if money is really an issue, which means the doula will work for a very reduced fee which Doula UK will fund.

Hi Im also a doula working in South Yorkshire.

Am I allowed to put up my website address?

Hi Turtle, I might be too early but I'd be really interested in your services?
We live in Redhill - I'm currently 7+4 but I have we have no mothers to call on and the rest of our family are pretty useless and live up north.
I'm already feeling very nervous!

Hi, I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. This was my second child and I used the services of a Doula. I have to say she made the experiance much more managable and dare I say enjoyable, despite the fact I was petrified because baby came early. I think if you can afford it and even if you cant its well worth doing, especially if your anxious or scared due to previous birth experiances. My doula was from an agency called Blossoms Doulas I think they have a website and i would definately reccomend them if you live in London.
I hope all goes well with your pregnancy. x

Hi mowmi
Congratulations! If I am correct, turtle23 will be having her baby in November so not sure she will be available. If not, please do get in touch www.sunshinedoula.co.uk or have a look at www.doula.org.uk
