“Lucy was not only part of our birth experience, she was instrumental. She afforded us time to deal with any emotional issues before, during and after the birth, something that would otherwise not even have crossed our minds, but which, in the incredibly emotional journey of birthing, is absolutely essential.

She helped us in a million practical ways, allowing my husband to be completely free to offer me the emotional support I needed during the labour process, and taking over when he needed a break. She was deeply respectful of all our birth choices, and worked tirelessly with us to help us achieve the calm, nurturing atmosphere we wanted, as well as providing expert advice every step of the way.

Lucy is an exceptionally warm, open and inviting person, who makes you feel accepted, nurtured and supported, all things that are so necessary and sadly often missing from many women's birth experiences. We feel if we were ever to hire a doula again, it would be Lucy, as we have developed such a special bond through sharing in the miraculous birth of our daughter, and because we feel she truly embodies the meaning of 'doula'.” Lizzie & Neil

"...We took the decision to hire a Doula quite late on in our pregnancy and we are so glad that we did. Lucy's practical and emotional support in the lead up to, during, and after the birth of our son was wonderful . Her experience and training helped us to feel confident in our preparations and she encouraged us to trust our instincts, she was there for us when we needed her. Having a Doula present for the labour was calming, reassuring and comforting, we were able to focus on birthing our baby because Lucy knew our needs and wishes and could communicate them on our behalf. We both felt cared for and her involvement had such a positive influence on our birth experience, something we will always be grateful for and will never forget..." Colin and Louise

"My husband and I felt the information and support given to us by Lucy was invaluable. We had a fantastic birthing experience and it was all thanks to Lucy. She also gave us the confidence to become great parents. We cannot thank her enough."  Maria & Neil

"Lucy helped Neil and I overcome the anxiousness of being new parents, just the thought of looking after a new person was quite daunting and scary for us, but after attending Lucy's classes, our confidence in each other grew and we came back down to earth. We would like to thank you, you made everyone feel comfortable including the fathers to be." Tracey & Neil

"Having antenatal lessons before the birth of our first son was really helpful. My labour was long and complicated and I felt empowered to be able to question what medical staff were advising and make decisions that were right for me. After the birth, I questioned some of my decisions I made during labour, Lucy was a great help and talked through my feelings. Lucy was a kind person and I really did not expect her to care as much as she did." Amanda

"Lucy was extremely supportive to me with some very sensitive issues that I had. She offered advice & a wealth of material to assist me overcome my fears."

"I found Lucy’s course of antenatal classes to be hugely valuable in the run up to the birth of our daughter. I enjoyed the informal environment of the classes, and found that she presented a wealth of useful information that really helped me both during the birth, and in those early parenting days. I made many very good friends through the classes who were a great support network to me in those first weeks of motherhood, and who remain good friends." Victoria

"Lucy was amazingly supportive (well beyond the call) about breastfeeding, which I really struggled with for many weeks.  At times in those early weeks, I felt very at sea and unsure what to do for the best and it was really reassuring to know that I had someone like Lucy on the other end of the phone if need be."
