Doula by the Sea

I decided to hire Jeanette as my doula for the birth of my first child in April this year. It was the best decision I could have taken. From the start she took so much time to chat with me on the phone and then later in person, she was never in a rush. Her level of knowledge is just incredible. Homeopathy, massage, hypnobirthing are just a few areas she knows so much about. She was always available to me and when I had s question, answered with such a depth of experience. She is a true advocate for women and for choice. I felt truly supported- before, during and after my delivery, and when my baby had to spend some time in hospital. I had a difficult labour but it was made bearable by Jeanette. Even now, five months later, we are still in touch, and she still offers support. These words don’t do her justice. Thank you Jeanette!

I decided to have a Doula for the birth of my first child as i was keen to have a home birth. I initially was drawn to Jeannette's wealth of experience as a previous Nurse and Midwife. Our first phone call was over 2hrs as i had alot of questions and we spent time getting to know one another, Jeannette was in absolutely no rush and happy to talk. When I first met Jeannette I was flooded with warmth. Fast forward to the day I went into labour, Jeannette was there for me as soon as i called her and with hers and my mums team effort, I managed to reach 10cm dilation at home without any pain relief. Unfortunately my baby was breech and i had to go into hospital. Thanks to Jeannette and her amazing medical knowledge she was able to make sure I understood exactly what was happening every step of the way so I was able to make informed decisions on my own, this enabled me to be able to make a safe journey to the hospital and have my baby delivered by C-section with Jeannette by my side without it becoming an emergency or traumatic. Words cannot describe how sacred she made the birth of my baby girl. I would never have done it without her. Jeannette also came to see me after my baby was born and provided me with vitamins and helped support me with my breastfeeding. If you're looking for a Doula look no further, Jeannette went above and beyond and exceeded all my expectations. Thank you Jeannette I am eternally greatful! ❤️
