"I found her support invaluable, and it gave me great comfort to be with someone who had not only experienced the birth of her own children, but had professionally doula supported a good many births. She was ready with calm advice throughout, which also helped my partner relax in the knowledge that I was getting expert guidance."
Denise, Winchester |
Her ability to "tune into" people and the warmth of her character, combined with her extensive knowledge of childbirth made her a highly valued contributor to, and
an integral part of a very special event.

Looking with hindsight, I think that my wife and I are in agreement that we would never want to go through pregnancy or labour without Mandy's assistance as our Doula. Mandy advises without enforcing, and delivers expert advice and compassion. She became a close friend, but also allowed us our own space and intimacy.

Knowing that she will be with you throughout the labour
is very reassuring and the fact that she has attended
so many births and is experienced in these matters is invaluable when you need someone to explain what is happening in an easy-to-comprehend manner. Mandy
is extremely caring and gentle, yet determined in her manner when she needs to be, in order to be able to bring you back at the times when you start to feel overwhelmed. Her confidence and enthusiasm in a woman's ability to give birth is contagious and is exactly what you need when feeling nervous or worried.

Furthermore, with thanks to Mandy I'd managed through nearly nine hours of established labour using only TENS - something I never imagined would be possible after my first labour. After the birth, Mandy continued to be available for support. A couple of weeks after the birth she came back to the house and gave me photos she'd taken immediately after the birth and had written our birth story - it was wonderful to see the story of our daughter's birth through the eyes of our Doula.
