Thank you for all your help and guidance over the past months, we have really found it invaluable. We will keep you posted on how things progress later this week and look forward to introducing you to Baby in the near future!
Many thanks again Louise |
Lucy’s extensive wisdom and beautifully, warming personality guided both Kelley and I through our first completely natural and positive home birth, so it was an absolute no brainer that we would recap with her to help re-centre ourselves for our second pregnancy and birth.
Due in the middle of Covid-19 we had some concerns on how sessions would progress but Lucy was quick to suggest Zoom calls which worked perfectly and having and excitable 2.5 year old buzzing around us she was always more than flexible and would offer to reschedule if needed. Although we weren’t able to enjoy Lucy’s calming physical presence, once sessions had begun it made little difference and we felt as though we were back with her in her Doula Den enjoying casual chat. The sessions are always very informative and move forward at our pace, allowing us plenty of time to ask all our many questions. Once again we feel completely relaxed and prepared for the arrival or our little girl and cannot thank Lucy enough for everything she ahs done for us to arrive at this point. K, S, B and M 2020 |
I searched for a while to find a birth doula and when I finally met Lucy I knew she was exactly who I'd been hoping to find. A rare combination of a nursing/midwifery background, doula-ing experience and mum of 3 who is passionate about her role. She also has an incredible amount of knowledge which helped educate, prepare, support and empower both me and my husband. I immediately felt a huge sense of relief knowing Lucy was going to be there for me.
Before meeting Lucy, I was so nervous of hospitals and giving birth. She had such a positive influence on me and approaching my due date I felt like a different person. In the end absolutely nothing went to my birth plan and I had a very tough time. Through every stage and decision my husband and I made together, I felt confident and relaxed even while having an E C-Section. Unbelievable! Lucy made all the difference! She was worth every penny and we've made a lovely new friend. Best of all, our healthy, relaxed, happy little baby daughter has benefitted from all the positive effects of hypnotherapy.

"Lucy was an integral part of a successful birth and we will be forever indebted to her for the support, experience and general kindness she brought to the pre, during and post birth. Throughout the process she brought a sense of calmness that we can only appreciate on reflection. We were never told what to do but advised and allowed to make our own decisions and supported by Lucy at all times. She gave 110% of herself." Orla, Gavin and Ava 2010
"Having a doula has helped me enormously to prepare myself for the birth of my second daughter. Following a birth full of interventions with my first daughter, Lucy helped me to believe in my ability to deliver my baby by trusting my body. She was there for me during the birth, gently guiding me along and protecting 'our space'. The result was an amazing birth experience which I know I wouldn't have had without her help."

Dear Lucy,
"We are so grateful to have had you with us as our wonderful birth doula. We felt so well prepared and totally secure and safe, thank you for all your wonderful advice, practical help and caring love and support - we could not have done it without you (well not so calmly anyway)."
