If you’re looking for calm, consistent support throughout pregnancy and birth, you’re in the right place.

As your Doula (Birth Companion),
I offer one-to-one care — emotional, physical, and practical support
that helps you feel grounded, informed, and confident as you prepare to meet your baby.

Whether you’re planning a home birth, giving birth in hospital,
or just want someone you trust by your side,

I’ll be there to hold space for you and your family.

🌿 What You’ll Receive

Personalised support designed around your needs:

💜 Antenatal sessions – time to prepare emotionally and practically
💜 On-call birth support – calm, continuous reassurance when labour begins
💜 Partner guidance – helping your partner feel confident and involved
💜 Postnatal visit – space to rest, reflect, and be cared for
💜 Ongoing phone & message support – for all the in-between moments

Every package is flexible, shaped around your family and your wishes.

✨ Why Choose a Doula

Birth is more than a medical event — it’s a life transition.

Having a familiar, trusted presence beside you can:

  • Reduce stress and anxiety

  • Help you and your partner feel prepared and supported

  • Encourage calm, confident decision-making

  • Create a sense of continuity and safety

You deserve care that centres you
— your body, your choices, your birth.

🌿 About Emma – Local Doula & Antenatal Teacher in the Forest of Dean

I live here in the Forest of Dean, surrounded by trees and a strong sense of community.
Over the past 16 years, I’ve supported hundreds of families through pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks of parenthood.

My background combines both formal training and hands-on experience.

I’ve taught antenatal classes, pregnancy yoga, and babywearing, and I’m trained in massage and shiatsu, helping women feel more comfortable and connected in their bodies.

Alongside teaching and bodywork, I offer postnatal recovery sessions inspired by traditional women’s care — gentle, restorative practices that help you feel held and replenished after birth.

My approach is simple: every woman deserves calm, respectful, and personal support. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or your fourth, planning a home birth or heading to hospital, I’ll meet you where you are.

Families often describe my presence as calm, reassuring, and practical — someone who quietly keeps everything steady so you and your partner can focus on welcoming your baby in your own way

🌸 Limited Spaces
