You've got this!
I'm not here to rescue you
You are capable, intuitive and already have everything you need within you – I’m just here to help you believe that! My role isn’t to take over – it’s to protect your space so your natural strength can lead the way.
If you’re looking for a doula who is respectful, kind and entirely without judgment, someone who will advocate for whatever path you know is right, then we’ll get along perfectly.
Honesty, open communication and connection.
I believe that a trusting relationship is the best tool for a positive birth. For me, that means providing a space where you can be completely yourself. I’m here for those late-night texts when you’re worried and for the moments you need to share your fears without hesitation. When we build this genuine connection, it means you can always rely on me for clear, transparent guidance and unwavering support.
you're bloody amazing!
It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed or apprehensive, birth is a massive transformation! But as your doula, I’m here to amplify your instincts. I provide evidence-based information and the steady, gentle guidance you need to step into parenthood calmly and with confidence.
How I support you on your journey
Informational Support
Becoming parents can be a confusing time. Many people feel crowded with information and noise – much of it conflicting. I’m here to be your nurturing filter, providing clear, evidence-based information so you can focus on what feels right for you and your baby. We’ll discuss everything from the physiology of birth to the realities of life with a newborn, replacing nerves and apprehension with clarity and a quiet confidence.
Emotional Support
I will be your steadying presence and your advocate, protecting your peace of mind at every stage. During pregnancy and birth, I ensure you feel safe, heard and respected in your choices. I stay by your side as you navigate the early days of parenthood, giving you both the room to talk through your experience and the confidence to trust your developing instincts.
Practical Support
My role is to ease the load of this transition. In pregnancy, we’ll discuss birth physiology and ways to work with your body – not against it – and build a birth map that keeps you and your partner at the centre of every decision. During labour, I act as your advocate, ensuring your space is protected and your preferences honoured. And once baby arrives, I step in to support your home life, handling logistics so you can recover in peace. I’m there to ensure you both feel supported and rested as you find your rhythm as a family.

Hi, I'm Cheryl
Birth & postnatal doula
Even as a child I can remember being fascinated by pregnancy, childbirth & babies. I truly feel I’ve come full circle, via many different & varied care roles & I’m finally doing what I was born to do!
I’ve had several pregnancies over the years, some with amazing, happy outcomes & others that just weren’t meant to be. I really believe that being a mum is the best job in the world, so when my time did come around I was determined to be the best I could be. Yes, there’s been times when I felt completely daunted, alone, unprepared and out my depth…but I not only managed it, I absolutely nailed it..And if I can do it…so can you!
I’ve learned that we all have an incredible inner strength, and that trusting our instincts can be super powerful.
Now, as a doula, I get to share that with you. I’ll be there to remind you of your own amazing capabilities, to help you navigate the ups and downs and to show you that you already have everything you need to be the incredible mum you’re meant to be.
Your Body Can!
birth is 99.57% safe!
This video was created by Kicki Hansard and her two daughters during lockdown and it never fails to fill my entire body with tingles, no matter how many times I watch it!
I feel so privileged to have completed my doula training with Kicki at BirthBliss Academy, she is an inspiration and I just love how she talks about birth in this short video.
The human body is incredible! Your Body Can Do This!
