Doula Services in Nottingham with Barefaced Birth

Hi, I am Kerry

I am a birth and postnatal doula based in Nottingham.

I have had the pleasure of working with so many couples across Nottingham to support them in their pregnancy and birth journeys.

Giving birth to my daughter was the most incredible moment of my life. It wasn’t an easy road but one I truly feel honoured to have experienced and I completely fell in love with birth. Combining my passion of supporting others along with my love of birth, I made the decision to retain and work in the birth world.

I absolutely love supporting others and feel incredibly lucky to be part of someone’s birth journey; whether that is helping them to prepare for birth, providing birth or postnatal support or helping them to heal after a traumatic or difficult pregnancy or birth experience.

I truly believe everyone should receive individual continuity of care and support to birth the way you want to birth no matter what.

"Birth is an experience that demonstrates that life is not merely function and utility, but form and beauty"

— Christopher Largen

Doula Support

Having someone you know to support you and provide continuity of care at your birth and during the postnatal period can make a world of difference to how you experience birth, no matter the path your birth takes.

I offer non-judgemental birthd and postnatal support and will support your decisions no matter what.

I offer a range of doula services including birth and postnatal support and stand alone postnatal support in Nottingham.

Hypnobirthing and Antenatal Classes to help prepare for birth in Nottingham

Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Classes

Preparing for birth can be incredibly empowering and can support you and your partner to feel confident, excited and prepared for what to expect from birth.

My 5* rated hypbirthing classes can help you to mentally and physically prepare for birth, teach you some tools and skills that both you and your partner can use as well as provide evidence based up to date information to help you make those important birth decisions.

Available in a group setting in person in Nottingham City Centre, in person at your home as a private course or online.

Birth Trauma Support

Experiencing a traumatic or difficult birth or pregnancy can turn your world upside down and can leave you with heavy emotions that you may experience on a day to day basis.

I offer non judgemental trauma support service to help you debrief your birth and support you in processing your experience to help ease any unwanted or negative and heavy emotions.
