Hi, my name is Aimee, I am a mentored doula covering Kettering and surrounding area in Northamptonshire. Here is what I think you would like to know about me..
I live in Kettering with my husband and we are devoted parents to our 2 children. I love motherhood but the journey to where we are now has been less than smooth. This being one of the reasons I am venturing into the business of working as a Doula. I’d love for you to visit my ‘My Journey’ page to find out more about me and my family.
Why a Doula? Simply put, I am very passionate about helping people and pregnancy, birth and beyond absolutely fascinates me!
DOULA
Pronounced doo-la.
A woman who assists another woman during labour and provides support to her, the infant, and the family after childbirth
Before beginning my own journey into motherhood I worked as a Maternity Support Worker where I specialised in Breast Feeding support. I especially loved visits to new parents where one or both of them just needed an ear, someone to listen to them, acknowledge their birthing journey, their feelings and their struggles. If you feel you need support in this way please get in touch. I am here to listen to you.
I have recently graduated from the Doula UK approved Developing Doulas Course. Moving forward I am taking part in a Twins Workshop and am working through an online course gaining knowledge regarding infant loss and supporting families after loss.
I am looking to work with birthing people and their families from all walks of life. Please visit my ‘Doula Services’ menu to see how I can help and support you. Although my fees are included in this information please do not hesitate to get in touch if you are struggling with funds. I believe every one should have access to a Doula if they need.
Thank you so much for visiting me here at Kettering Doula. I look forward to you getting in touch
