Yorkshire based birth and postnatal doula practice.
Offering emotional and practical support through pregnancy, birth and in the early days with your newborn.
Welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy or new arrival.
At first in 2008 there were three Mother Nurture Doulas; Emma, Julia and Rachel. In 2010 Charlotte joined the team as Julia and Emma went onto extended maternity leave. In Autumn of 2011 Rachel too will be on maternity leave, but plans to return in the new year (2012).
Our path to becoming doulas began with the birth of our own children. Although our experiences differed greatly, we became aware that there was much more to be learned about having babies and felt strongly that we wanted to support other women through this journey. As mothers and doulas we believe wholeheartedly that birth can be an empowering, uplifting and life changing experience. Knowledge and support are key to making your birth experience a positive one. We want to help you question and discover more about labour and birth, so you feel confident in making important decisions about your care. Both personally and professionally we continue to see the positive and long lasting effects of having the calm and continuous support of a doula, not only for labour and birth but also in the weeks and months that follow.
"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength."
NOTE: If you have been directed to this site from DUK, Find a Doula pages we feel it is important to let you know that we are all DUK doulas.
