About us

Tamsin

Becoming a parent is a life-changing event with many new emotions and new experiences. Having a good support network during this exciting and daunting time is vital and we can be part of that support network to help new families have a positive start together.

I have three school-age children. I had doula support for two of my births which made such a positive difference. She quietly supported and encouraged me. My husband also felt great reassurance having an experienced woman present to give him confidence and support too.

I have experienced three different kinds of births: induced, hospital, and home birth. Each of my postnatal journeys had its up and downs and I received great support from my family and local groups. 

I am from a large family and have four sisters. Zoë and I have supported each other during each pregnancy and postnatal period and enjoy working together to support other women.

I am married and have three children, now in their teens. I am a classically-trained singer and have run a singing group for children and their carers (birth to school age) for the last 15 years. I enjoy yoga, cycling and swimming and lots of music-making as well as looking after my chickens! I am one of five sisters, who are a great support, and Tamsin and I love working together.

I received excellent doula care before, after and during my own birth experiences and I found it an invaluable support for me, my husband and my babies. It helped to establish our family with great confidence. I feel passionate about helping other famillies to get off to a great start.

I know well how postnatal help can relieve the stresses, tensions and worries of becoming a mother and managing family life and expectations. All families, and women in particular, need wider support at this important time.
