About Me
Hi, I’m Anna I’m a North East based, full spectrum doula. A full spectrum doula supports any pregnant person accessing any part of maternity services, and my aim is to be as inclusive and safe as possible for all families. I undertake continuous personal development to make sure I am able to support anyone who wishes to work with me. I can work with you if you live within an hours drive of Houghton le spring, no matter where or how you choose to birth your baby. I’m passionate about people being able to make informed decisions, and will support you in doing this. I will create a safe, judgement free space for you to talk through your choices and worries, giving you evidence based information and making sure you know your rights. I will protect your birthing bubble and advocate for you when you feel unable to do so yourself.
working as a maternity care assistant for 7 years it became clear to me that a lot of families were leaving their birthing experience traumatised. This along with my own traumatic births were the catalyst to do my doula training. Training with Jen of Badass birth And attending workshops and master classes on LGBT+ competency, anti- racism, cultural competency and birth rights has equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to support you in your pregnancy, Labour and birth and beyond.
It’s important to me that as many people as possible have access to doula support which is why I have created Different packages and why you can access a payment plan if you wish to do so.
please contact me if you have any questions or to arrange a free consultation and follow me on Instagram @doulauonorth to get to know more about me and my work.
“Anna was a wonderful support to me antenatally. She helped me think through my birth preferences, we talked through evidence based information when things weren’t going to plan and when my home birth plans were up in the air due to Covid, Anna supported me to keep thinking positively and to know my options and rights. I am so thankful to her for all her professional support during my pregnancy, and for the addition of her kindness, warmth and friendship, which is freely given when it’s most needed.
