Client Reviews
Here is what my clients say about me
Birth preparation sessions…
“Lisa was amazing. The whole experience was positive and I walked away feeling a lot more confident in my birthing plan. I used the techniques during birth and they helped so much would definitely go back if I had another baby.”

Birth support at home…
“I feel so lucky to have found Lisa to support me and my husband during our second pregnancy and birth.
Following a traumatic first labour, I knew I wanted my second experience to be different; and thanks to Lisa’s fantastic birth prep with us and her calming presence during labour, I was able to have the home birth that I always dreamed of!
Lisa knew my birth preferences and was able to advocate for me in a moment when I could have been easily persuaded to go against my wishes.
Lisa was the perfect birthing partner – she seemed to know instinctively when I needed encouragement and when to let me silently focus.
My labour was longer than anticipated due to my baby’s head not being in the right place. Just as I felt like giving up, Lisa encouraged me to try moving into several different positions and, before I knew it, I was holding our beautiful baby boy in my arms. The feeling was euphoric! I found this birth to be incredibly healing, and there is no doubt in my mind that it was such a success because of Lisa’s support.
I don’t think I will ever be able to express my gratitude enough to you, Lisa – you are incredible!”

Postnatal support with dogs…
“Lisa helped us with our baby from her first day at home. She has a calming, loving presence which is so welcome at such a new and overwhelming time of life. I felt at ease with her in our home and fully trusted her to take care of our baby while we slept. Lisa came for 3 hour windows either morning or afternoon, to facilitate precious time to catch up on sleep and shower etc. I appreciated her advice with feeding and techniques with how to settle our daughter for naps. It was an absolute bonus she was great with our dogs!”

Previous difficult birth…
“Lisa supported me through my 2nd birth after a number of miscarriages and a very complicated and traumatic first time full term labour. Her calmness, comfort, reassurance and knowledge secured us the most positive and wonderful 2nd birth of our youngest. I never believed it was possible to experience a positive labour after my first experience. I genuinely don’t believe it would have been possible without Lisa by my side, assisting with advocacy and asserting the boundaries and birth plan my husband and I were so committed to achieving second time round. Lisa’s presence meant the midwives and consultants were led by me, listening actively and including us in all the decisions. My 2nd labour was a long one, not to the plan we have agreed, but as all labours seem to go, they never go to plan. But we felt in control, calm and completely informed, enabling us to regroup and make decisions that kept both baby and I safe and happy. This meant we avoided any interventions we didn’t want and we got home on the same day and were both fit and well, even if just a bit exhausted from a long natural delivery. Lisa stayed the full duration of our labour even beyond the scope of her normal length of stay. I am so grateful for her being there to support me and my husband. I honestly would recommend her 1000 times over to any future woman looking into a doula. You are in good, safe and secure hands with Lisa!”

Doulas support birth partners too…
“We were so fortunate to find Lisa, who supported us through the birth of our third child. The birth became traumatic, due to an undiagnosed health issue, and having Lisa with us really helped my husband in particular, who would have been left alone as I was rushed into emergency surgery. A doula doesn’t just support the Mum-to-be!”
