Who am I?
Friendly and Supportive Cambridgeshire Doula | Specialising in VBAC Support and Antenatal Education
Hello, and welcome! I’m Shannon – a dedicated doula, mother of four, and someone who believes deeply in empowering families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys. Based in Huntingdon, I’m perfectly positioned to support families across Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, and Rutland. Whether you’re nearby or further afield, I also offer virtual services, ensuring you can access the support you need no matter where you are.
My passion for birth work began after my own transformative experience achieving a VBA3C (vaginal birth after three cesareans). It was a journey filled with challenges, but it taught me the importance of having informed, compassionate support. That’s why I’ve made VBAC support a cornerstone of my work as a doula. I’ve personally experienced a wide spectrum of births – inductions, emergency and semi-elective c-sections, and a physiological birth. Preparing for home births and navigating my own choices has given me unique insights that I bring to my clients. My goal is to help you feel empowered and confident in your decisions, whatever your birth preferences.
I’ve trained with Developing Doulas and am currently a mentored doula, bringing a fresh yet compassionate approach to all clients. I’m also a certified hypnobirthing facilitator with Birth Prep in a Box, which allows me to offer calming and practical antenatal education courses in Cambridgeshire and beyond. In early 2024, I became an NCT-trained breastfeeding peer supporter, further strengthening my ability to support you in the early days of parenthood.
I understand that welcoming a baby is a time of joy but also adjustment. My aim is to help you feel calm and confident as you transition into this new chapter. From answering your questions to providing reassurance, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a Cambridgeshire doula, a doula in Huntingdon, or a doula in Northamptonshire, I’d love to chat and explore how I can help. Whether it’s through VBAC preparation, an antenatal education course in Cambridgeshire, or emotional and practical postpartum support, I’m here to help you feel informed, empowered, and ready to embrace your unique journey.
Get in touch, and let’s start this journey together!
