Doula Services
Pregnancy, birth & postnatal support
About me
Hi! I'm Katie, a birth and postnatal doula, supporting new and expanding families in Bradford, Bingley, Shipley, Ilkley, Leeds and surrounding areas in West Yorkshire.
I live on beautiful Baildon Moor with my husband and two young children. My passions include yoga for pregnancy, vegan nutrition, supporting women's birth rights, homebirth and waterbirth.
As a recently qualified doula, I'm offering my services at a more accessible rate. If you choose me as your doula, I will be mentored throughout our journey, to ensure you get the very best experience.
What is a doula?
A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical and informational support to expectant parents before, during and after birth, and in the early postpartum period.
Having a doula can help your family to have a safe, healthy and positive labour experience. And provide you with much needed support in the first few weeks and months of your babies life.
Evidence shows that having a doula at your birth decreases the risk of caesarean section, increases the likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth, decreases the need for pain relief, and shortens labour on average by 41 minutes!
