About
Welcome! I'm Sophie, a York-based Birth and Postnatal Doula.
​
I'm here to listen and accompany you through pregnancy, birth and beyond with emotional, educational and practical support and hopefully a few giggles!
​
Having a baby can be the most exciting and nerve-wracking time and I'm here to help you navigate your way through it all.
​
I am certified with Nurturing Birth to support people throughout pregnancy, labour and in the weeks after birth. I will give you a safe space throughout our time together to share your thoughts and feelings, offer endless hugs, advocate for what you want and make sure you have all the information you need to feel confident in your decisions.
​
My priority is you.
Why would I hire a Doula?
The statistics may speak for themselves here but I want to add that the importance of having continual support during pregnancy and the postnatal period is invaluable. It helps parents feel safe, confident and happier with their journey into parenthood and you should make sure that whoever you choose to join you in this role, is someone you feel entirely comfortable with.
