As this was my second pregnancy I decided to look for a Doula on the Internet to support me after the baby was born so I looked around and eventually found a suitable site and contacted Rachel.

Rachel explained fully to me the role of a doula and the various supports they offer, both our husband and I decided we would need to the postnatal support as my husband has his own business and needed to return to work after 4 days. Rachel then visited the home and went through the doulas role and how she could support me whether it be the shopping, tidying the home, making meals or helping our with our 4 year old daughter Millie.

Prior to the birth we met at a soft play centre with our daughter Millie so she could become familiar with Rachels presence around the house. Millie got on very well with Rachel and even asked when she was visiting again!!!!

After the birth of our son William in July, Rachel helped us tremendously and was invaluable to me; she visited us with a hot meal and the best homemade lemon drizzle cake I have ever tasted! Helped with the housework and put Millie to bed whilst I was breast-feeding the baby and got some much needed rest.

After a few weeks I eventually found my confidence again and realised I could cope with two small children on my own we both decided her job was done. I wouldnt hesitate in recommending Rachel, she was professional, caring informative and supportive of my needs.
