Adjusting to your new member of the family
'Carla has helped me so much in the transition form 2 to 3 children. What would have been a very tough time has been eased by her visits to provide sanity for me entertainment for the older children, and an extra pair of hands. We all look forward to her visits and the children ask me often when she is coming! Having moved areas while pregnant and having no family nearby, I don't think I would have managed without her. Highly recommend both Carla and postnatal Doulas in general for helping to make the postnatal period enjoyable and manageable?' Becca
'From the very start Carla was so helpful and genuine. We felt immediately at ease and she helped us greatly. We hadn't planned to hire a Doula but due to complications during our child's birth we soon realized we would require extra help. As well as helping to look after our baby she also helped my Wife and I with relaxation techniques. She also was able to help with cooking and cleaning. We would definitely recommend Carla.' Sam
Carla worked with us as a antenatal and post natal doula. She offered us a wholesome perspective that my husband and I have found so reassuring and empowering throughout and beyond our time working with her. Our confidence throughout the birth and in the early weeks as first time parents grew so much with the kind reassurance and guidance from Carla.
Before the birth Carla did a very inclusive session on birth and hypnobirthing. Both myself and my husband were really well prepared for birth. There were a few bumps on the road in the lead up to the birth and our daughter was 10 weeks late. Carla was so informative and reassuring through out this time, helping me to keep focused and overcome the uncertainty of waiting to go into the labour. Being low risk, i had very little contact with the hospital, so having Carla to guide us through this time was so appreciated. I had an amazing vaginal birth and I know this is partly down to Carla's calming and knowledgeable encouragement. All of which gave me the confidence to trust my body and follow my instincts.
After our baby was born, She did 2 nights and a morning/afternoon a week. We became a great team and she had a wonderful relationship with Connie. This helped us to understand ours and our babies needs and we have so enjoyed her wholesome approach where we learnt to follow our instincts and weigh up all the conflicting information from midwives, Google and health visitors. We have really enjoyed the first few months of parenting and I know this is down to her. She left a gaping hole in our lives when she left us and we would hire her again in a heart beat. Thank you Carla! Poppy
