Our Families Say
"Charlotte filled me with the confidence I needed and educated me further on my diagnosis allowing me to advocate for myself, which resulted in me having the most positive and empowering natural water birth in a birth centre despite being told “this wouldn’t be allowed”. I will be forever grateful for her help throughout my final weeks and post pregnancy and can’t recommend her enough!"
Yasmin, Second Time Mum

How do I book?Use the form on this website, email me or message me on social media!
-
Can I chat to you before booking?If you are booking my Doula in your pocket service we can arrange a free 15 minute chat to make sure it is right for you! Just get in touch to arrange it!
-
What areas do you cover?As I work virtually I can support you wherever you are in the UK! I have supported families internationally but I may not be as up to date with local regulations, guideline and procedures. There could also be difficulties with any time differences!
-
Once I have booked, how do we keep in touch?I use WhatsApp to message you, we can do voice and video chats through that as well! I just need your mobile number!
-
Can my birth partner be involved?Yes, in fact I encourage it! They are welcome to join any phone calls and in my Doula in your pocket package we can set up a chat with them in it if you want!
-
Are you a birth partner for hire?In essence yes, I am a virtual birth partner for hire! A Doula's intention is never to replace a birth partner if you have one, but if you don't hiring a doula is a great idea!
-
Are Doulas the same as private or independent midwives?No a doula cannot provide clinical care like a midwife, a doula can provide emotional and physical support and advocacy but not things like checking your blood pressure, ordering tests or scans or vaginal examinations.
-
Do doulas support homebirth?Yes, I support all types of birth. I can support a homebirth virtually through helping you prepare mentally, and physically (wondering what you will need)?. I can be available for you and your partner virtually during your homebirth and support you though your post partum.
-
Do Doulas support induction?Yes if you have made an informed decision to accept an induction I would be more than happy to help you achieve an empowered birth. If you are unsure about the reasons behind your induction or want to explore alternatives I can help you do that aswell.
-
Do Doulas support hospital birth?Not all doulas support women birthing in hospital, however this is an area I feel passionate about providing support. I can help you navigate policies and guidelines to ensure you receive personalised care and I can help you and your partner prepare to advocate for your wishes.
-
Do Doulas support Freebirth?This is a personal decision for each doula. I am happy to support freebirths if you have chosen to take that radical responsibility as a family.
