Hi, I am Aisling. I trained as a birth doula in 2018 with Dona International and as a Postpartum Doula in 2021 with DoulaCare Ireland, now Doulacare Academy. I have 4 children of my own including twins. It was my own birthing and postpartum experiences that led me to wanting to support other women and their families in such an vunerable part of their lives. I have a degree in Early Childhood Studies and over 10yrs experience working with young children. I also completed a 2 year certificate in Disability Studies and have spent time working with children and adults who have mild to severe disabilites and so I feel this is very beneficial if a family I work with has anyone with an intellectual or physical disability.
I am based in South Tipperary but cover boarding areas in Kilkenny, Waterford, East Limerick and East Cork.
Skills & Interests:
- Newborn/Infant care
- Cooking/Baking
- Infant Feeding
- Discussing local mother and baby groups that can be really helpful
- Maternal Mental Health
Areas/Hospitals Covered
I work in South Tipperary General Hospital along with covering Cork University Maternity Hospital, Waterford General and St Lukes Hospital Kilkenny.
I also cover these counties for Postpartum Support.
