Doula Support in Wakefield, West Yorkshire
Fertility, Antenatal, Birth and Postnatal Doula Support in Wakefield
Pregnant or recently had a baby in Wakefield?
I can support you at whatever stage you are at in your pregnancy or parenting journey. As a local doula and hypnobirthing teacher in Wakefield, I am very familiar with the local maternity system. I had both of my 2 children in Leeds and I am also the Co-Chair for Leeds Maternity Voices Partnership. I work closely with the maternity team at LGI and SJUH and I have supported many doula clients, who are using Wakefield maternity services too.
What can a Doula do?
Whether you are looking for fertility support, antenatal support, birth doula support or postnatal support in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, I can assist you. I can make you and your partner feel excited about your birth, prepared and informed. I will show you that you do have choices in your birth plan and you can be confident and in control. This will enable you to increase your odds of having a positive birth experience, however that might look. I can help you to plan and prepare for birth, help you to be able to make informed decisions, understand different coping techniques when you are in labour. Explain the benefits and risks of each pain relief option, teach you easy hypnobirthing techniques, to make you feel calm, confident and in control during labour. I can help you to understand the labour and birth process, be by your side when you are in labour, helping to keep you and your partner feel calm. I can advocate for you if you want me to, support you emotionally and physically during your pre-conception period, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I can visit you at your home, during the postnatal period and offer you any feeding support that you might need, whether you are breastfeeding or bottle feeding. I can listen to your birth story or any concerns or worries that you might have. I can help you to keep on top of the everyday chores, from doing the laundry, cooking, light housework etc. I can hold your baby whilst you take a nap, have a rest or a relaxing bath.

I live between South Leeds and Wakefield, so I am within a very short distance from lots of Yorkshire towns. My local maternity unit is Pinderfields hospital and I can be there in around 15 minutes, (depending on traffic). I am very familiar with Pinderfields hospital, having supported my doula clients there.

As a doula, I have supported lots of new and expectant parents in Wakefield and the surrounding area. Here is what two of them have to say....
​
"Julia offered in depth information and support and was calm and comforting. She was a great source of support to myself and my husband during pregnancy and birth. Julia has buckets of emotional intelligence and is an extremely kind person." - Nikki
​
​
"I would recommend Julia to any of my friends or family, as I believe the birth experience is completely different with a Doula by your side, guiding you through step by step. The care that you receive in the NHS is not all-round care or resourceful enough to cater for women's whole birth experience and emotional well-being." - Emily
​
"Julia very subtly empowered us through the whole process and this led to a great birth experience, that I will always look back on with positivity." - Emily
