What Clients Say

“When I hired Jacquie to be our doula I never realised how much we would be getting! Not only was she there for the labour, helping our little girl into the world, but she was available during my pregnancy to help us find the information we needed to make informed choices. This was especially important as I’d had a difficult experience with the birth of our first child and was very worried about how this birth would go. She signposted us towards some amazing resources that I use to this day!”
