A DAD'S EXPERIENCE OF HAVING DOULA
Emily contributed hugely towards making the birth as stress-free as possible. Ultimately this meant that mum could concentrate on the task in hand and I could do what she needed the most- be there close to her.
GIVING BIRTH DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC
The single best decision I made throughout my pregnancy was to sign up for a hypnobirthing course. I felt informed and calm the whole way through the birth of our son.

BABY NO.2 HOME BIRTH USING HYPNOBIRTHING
If it wasn't for Hypnobirthing I'm not convinced I'd of had the birth i had. It taught me to have confidence, belief and trust in my body. It taught me about my rights, options and possible birthing paths.
