Becky has been a constant source of encouragement, reassurance and practical hands-on support since our first child Poppy, was born in January of this year (e.g. letting me nap during visits, offering to shop for us, etc.) Having Becky as my doula has certainly helped boost my faith in my own abilities as Poppy’s mummy. She’s helped me to trust my own instincts (something that 14 weeks on, I’m realising the importance and value of) and my confidence has grown as a result. Poppy’s Daddy is very hands on, but understandably finds the pressures of a crying baby ( Poppy was really unsettled and challenging in the early stages) and a tired and hormonal wife; difficult on top of working full time. I know he feels reassured that I have someone to provide much-needed emotional and practical support, especially when he is not around.
Becky has more than fulfilled my expectations re the role of a postnatal doula and continues to be an invaluable source of support to all three of us. She has a really good balance of knowledge, experience and empathy. She’s been sensitive to my needs throughout and I’m immensely grateful for her continued support, calmness and positivity. I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a doula, particularly for women who feel they would benefit from additional one-to one support from another woman who understands the needs of a new mum/parents. Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you need any further information.
