Mary

Hayley was my doula for a blessed and beautiful home birth back in March.
Despite only meeting a couple of weeks before the birth she immediately made me feel at ease and was able to confidently guide me through the process of working out a birth plan and thinking about how I wanted the birth to be. It was because of her confident but gentle holding that I was able to follow and trust in my dream of a home birth despite it having been problematised by other family members up to that point. She empowered me and allowed me to trust in what I envisaged for my own birth experience.
During the birth she was a wonderful calm presence and totally respected my needs - intuitively understanding what I needed in terms of space and support.
When my birth progressed much quicker than expected and I birthed before the midwife’s even arrived she guided me through those final moments and expertly caught the baby, before wrapping us both up on the sofa for those blessed moments of our first skin to skin. She was calm, in control and kind at all times and I never once felt frightened or agitated.
Before and afterwards she offered restorative and thoughtful gifts and snacks, tidied the house, and visited after for post natal assistance.
She had her own birth pool which we used (though I never actually managed to get in it 😂) and was able to get everything set up and packed down so I didn’t need to even think about it.
Essentially Hayley was that blessed ingredient that enabled me to have such a beautiful birthing experience. I cannot thank her nor recommend her enough.
