Pregnancy, Birth and Postnatal Doula (Taunton, Somerset)
Nurturing Support for pregnancy and beyond
Hi, I’m Kristie.
I’m a proud mother of five children Based in Taunton, Somerset. My own journey through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood has deeply shaped my passion for supporting other families during this transformative time.
As your doula, my role is to walk beside you throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal period. I provide continuous emotional and practical support, ensuring you feel heard, informed, and confident in your choices. I am there to advocate for you, helping you create a birth experience that feels positive, empowering, and aligned with your wishes.
During the postnatal period, I continue to support you as you adjust to life with your new baby. Whether you need guidance with feeding, reassurance, practical help, or simply someone to listen, I am here for you. My goal is to nurture not only your baby, but you as well, because when a mother feels supported, the whole family thrives.
About Me
I hold an Early Years degree and a PGCE with an Early Years specialism, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, family support, and evidence-based practice. Over the years, I have worked extensively with families and young children, setting up, delivering, and managing baby and toddler groups within the local community and in partnership with a further education college.
As a mother of five children, including a premature baby , I understand first hand that every pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey is unique. My lived experience allows me to offer support that is not only informed and evidence-based, but also realistic, compassionate, and deeply empathetic.

Why Choose Me
My approach is grounded, practical, and rooted in the belief that women are naturally strong and resilient.
Birth is powerful and so are you. My role is not to take over or speak for you, but to help you recognise and access your own inner strength. I provide calm, steady support so you can move through labour and birth feeling capable, informed, and confident in your choices.
I believe in balanced, evidence-based support that respects both the emotional and physical aspects of birth. Whether your plan includes a home birth, hospital birth, or medical intervention, my focus remains the same: helping you feel supported, empowered, and in control of your experience.
I am based in Taunton and support families across Somerset, travelling to surrounding areas where needed.
Before you commit to working with me, I always arrange a relaxed, no-obligation meeting. Choosing a doula is personal, and it’s important that you feel completely comfortable and confident that I am the right fit for you and your family.

Packages
Birth Doula
Birth Doula Package – £1,400
This complete birth support package is designed to ensure you feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the final weeks of pregnancy, birth, and the early days with your baby.
The package includes three antenatal meetings, where we will take time to get to know each other and prepare for your birth. These sessions are tailored to you and may include exploring your birth preferences, discussing comfort measures for labour, understanding your options, and building confidence for the birth experience ahead.
From 38–42 weeks of pregnancy, I will be on call for your birth, ready to support you whenever labour begins. During labour and birth, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support for you and your partner, helping you feel calm, reassured, and empowered.
After your baby arrives, the support continues with two postnatal visits. These visits offer space to reflect on your birth, check in on your wellbeing, and provide gentle support as you adjust to life with your newborn. This may include help with feeding, emotional support, or simply ensuring you feel nurtured during this important transition.
This package is designed to provide consistent, compassionate support throughout your journey into parenthood.
Postnatal Doula
The early days and weeks after your baby arrives can be both beautiful and overwhelming. Postnatal doula support offers practical help, reassurance, and nurturing care so you can focus on recovering, bonding with your baby, and adjusting to life as a new family.
During our time together, I provide gentle, non-judgemental support tailored to your needs. This may include newborn care guidance, feeding support, emotional reassurance, help settling your baby, light household tasks, and ensuring you have time to rest and recover. My role is to care for you as you care for your baby.

Virtual support
Virtual WhatsApp Support – £250
Pregnancy and the early weeks with a newborn often bring many questions, emotions, and moments where reassurance can make all the difference. Virtual support offers you direct access to experienced guidance and encouragement whenever you need it.
With this service, you will have ongoing WhatsApp messaging support from 21 weeks of pregnancy until 4 weeks postpartum. This provides a safe and supportive space where you can ask questions, share updates, or seek reassurance throughout your journey.
I can offer guidance on topics such as preparing for birth, understanding your options, early labour questions, comfort measures, newborn care, feeding support, emotional wellbeing, and adjusting to life with your baby.
