Shelly ~ second pregnancy, HBAC

"Does the perfect Doula exist? Luckily for me I found her ❤️
The first time we spoke was like speaking to an old friend. I was deciding the best option for me and before I even took out the package, Zoe was supporting me. I knew I needed some extra support with my journey and birth and I knew Zoe could bring that knowledge, the calm, the grounding and all round support I really needed.
I had my ups and downs in pregnancy and Zoe really helped with her knowledge and presenting me with the information I needed to make decisions. She supported and helped with my birth plan and all things labour.
Although Zoe was oncall for my birth, the birth progressed quicker than I thought so I birthed without her but her presence was missed and I know she would have been amazing.
Zoe was brilliant in my postpartum period and I will forever be thankful for meeting her.

About me...

Hi, I'm Zoe, I'm an autistic mother, a wife, a baker, a creator, a research scientist and full spectrum doula offering care across the North East, Tees Valley & North Yorkshire 

Birthing two children of my own - with each experience being very different and hard and magical in their own way - has shown me the power and transformation that occurs as you navigate pregnancy & birth and transition into motherhood. I want to be the person that can walk alongside you through this time - to hold your hand, cheerlead you, support you at antenatal appointments or whatever else you may need. Meeting you where you are at, always, to help you have the experience you want, that feels good for you

My philosophy is grounded in the belief that every birthing person deserves a supportive, empowering, and personalised experience. As a doula, my role is to provide not only physical support but also emotional and informational support tailored to your unique needs and preferences.

 

You know your body and your baby best, I am just here to remind you of that.
