Anne did a one-to-one visit for myself and my partner and we found it such a positive and informative experience. She had so much knowledge and was able to impart it in a really straight-forward and honest way. She combined great technical knowledge with emotional insight. We felt like we learned a huge amount and really benefited from her teachings. We felt so much more confident about making the right choices for the gentle birth of our first baby after the workshop with Anne. She has also been really helpful after the workshop, getting back to me straight away when I contacted her with some additional queries. Anne is such a lovely, warm person and we loved the fact that she worked in the zoo previously, delivering baby elephants. She was exactly the person we needed.

Anne has been an amazing Doula. Her help, support and wealth of knowledge have been invaluable before during and after the birth of our son. I could not recommend her highly enough. She is professional and personable and she very quickly built a rapport with me, my husband and our other two children. During the birth her pain management was a huge help and she was a dept at managing the potentially tricky relationship with the consultant and midwives. I had done the GentleBirth course for my first baby and Anne’s knowledge of GentleBirth was very helpful and reassuring. I can honestly say that I started out looking for a Doula but ended up with a friend.

Anne was our doula for our second baby and I could not recommend her enough. She was so supportive throughout. We met before the birth and I immediately felt it was the right fit, she is warm and bubbly and she knows her stuff when it comes to birth. She was helpful with information before the birth on various things I had concerns about. For the actual birth she was amazing, helping when needed and stepping back when it was appropriate. She supported us physically (literally I was hanging off her walking into the hospital!) and emotionally. Postpartum she cooked us some amazing dinners which have been so delicious I’d almost hire her to cook for me full time!!! I have never once regretted the decision to hire her and it was worth every penny. Thank you Anne!!
