Birth Doula

We were thrilled with our decision to choose Chantal as our doula. This was our first pregnancy and having someone like Chantal supporting us on our journey was invaluable. It was reassuring to know we had Chantal to ask any questions but also to have her to remind us of things to consider along the way. Her tone is so calming, and Chantal was attentive but not intrusive.

My husband also found Chantal’s support extremely helpful. Especially as we were choosing a home birth.

We found that Chantal’s support was there from the beginning and still now we enjoy meeting with her occasionally.

She played an important role to us, and we will always be thankful for this. We would highly recommend Chantal to anyone considering a doula.

As a couple expecting our first child, we are incredibly grateful for the virtual support we received from Chantal. Throughout the entire journey of pregnancy and into the early days of parenthood, she was an invaluable source of knowledge and comfort for both of us.

Chantal provided us with guidance and reassurance every step of the way, from discussing birth plans to offering practical tips for caring for our newborn. Her expertise in childbirth and newborn care was evident, and she always made herself available to answer our questions and address our concerns, no matter the time of day.

Having Chantal virtually by our side helped us feel confident and empowered as we prepared for the arrival of our baby. Her compassionate support eased our anxieties and strengthened our bond as a couple during this transformative time in our lives.

We wholeheartedly recommend Chantal to any expectant couple seeking knowledgeable and compassionate support throughout pregnancy and early parenthood. She played a crucial role in making our journey to parenthood a positive and fulfilling experience, and we are forever grateful for her guidance and care.

Thank you so much Chantal!

"If it wasn’t for Chantal, I don’t think I would have had such an incredible birth experience. From the moment we met Chantal, we felt at ease and confident in her knowledge and expertise as a doula. Chantal went the extra mile in every single interaction we had with her both before and after the birth and her presence and coaching during the birth enabled me to have the birth of my dreams. As a first-time mum I wanted to avoid the trauma that I often have heard from my friends and I wanted a natural vaginal birth where I could expected the full joy of pushing my baby out without lots of medical intervention. Because of Chantal’s consistent support i laboured for 48 hours without any meds and only used gas and air at the very end. Without Chantal, I’m convinced it would have been a very different story."

"Chantal gave us invaluable support for the birth of our daughter. She was a source of calm in a difficult situation post c-section for my husband and I and I was very grateful for her being there with us. Chantal is very caring and gentle and also has a motherly bedside manner which is really comforting.

I would highly recommend Chantal as a doula."

"For my second pregnancy I knew I wanted to do things differently, knowing a homebirth was the right course for me and that having a doula would help me achieve being calm and relaxed for that to happen.

From the moment I met Chantal I knew she was the right person (I did meet two others as Chantal suggested to make sure) I knew I didn’t need to but it just further solidified my decision she was the right fit for us.

She is warm, knowledgeable, like a favourite aunt who just knows what to do, say and when to do it all and just puts you at ease immediately and makes you feel like you’ve just drunk a gorgeous mug of hot chocolate.

We decided to refresh ourselves with her hypnobirthing refresher course, mainly for my husband who was overseas for our first birth. It was everything we needed as a top up without being overwhelming, Chantal delivered it in a relaxed manner which made it not seem like “learning”.

Every encounter with Chantal left me feeling calm, with a sense of empowerment. She was superb during the birth setting up the pool and quietly being present and supportive, knowing she was there if I needed anything. My birth was magical using the birth pool, wave comb and breathing techniques until the last bit where I asked for some gas and air.

I’m in no doubt that without her guidance, support and encouragement that my birth would not have been as wonderfully empowering and healing as it was.

Eternally grateful"

"We chose Chantal as our Doula after a difficult road to our first pregnancy. She came onto our lives at a time when we'd been through a lot and anxiety levels were high. From our first meeting we were impressed by Chantal's calm, warm and reassuring manner - she put us at ease immediately. The antenatal support sessions and private hypnobirthing course were so useful in preparing us practically and mentally for birth.

When our baby was ready to be born, Chantal was with us every step of the way. She took care of us all as labour got underway, helped us to liaise with the hospital staff, and make necessary decisions. After our beautiful daughter arrived she stayed with us while we established breastfeeding and continued to provide support during the early postnatal period.

We are so thankful for Chantal's support and would highly recommend her services."
