Hushee Birth & Postnatal Doula

​

Enriching and Supporting Your Birth Journey

​

What is a Doula?

A doula is a companion, guide, and support person, working alongside your birth partner. My role is to:

• Walk beside you on your unique journey into motherhood.

• Offer encouragement, reassurance, and practical help.

• Empower you to make informed choices, especially if birth takes an unexpected turn.

• Remind you of your power to choose at every stage.

​

As a pregnancy doula, together, we can also create a birth preferences plan. This helps you clarify your wishes while also preparing for the reality that birth can sometimes unfold differently than expected. By exploring other possibilities in advance, you’ll feel more informed, flexible, and confident if changes arise during labour.

​

As a postnatal doula, I also offer emotional and practical support once your baby is here. This might look like:

​

• Holding your baby so you can rest or take a bath.

• Cooking a nourishing meal or helping with household tasks.

• Simply being your cheerleader as you adjust to this new chapter.

​

About Me:

My path to becoming a doula has been deeply personal. Friends often told me I’d “make a great doula” long before I knew what a doula was. Over the years, others said I’d make a wonderful mother or that I was especially gifted at supporting mums and children.

​

Although motherhood didn’t happen for me, I’ve come to embrace my journey. I now channel my maternal energy into:

​

• Supporting women as a doula.

• Teaching pregnancy and postnatal yoga.

• Spending time with my beautiful godson, whom I witnessed being born, a moment that opened my heart to a deep maternal love.

​

My background includes:

• Mental Health Nursing: I’ve worked with mothers and babies in a specialist Mother & Baby Unit, supported women experiencing postnatal depression, and worked with pregnant women experiencing anxiety and psychiatric illness.

​

• Yoga & Meditation: With over 18 years of practice, I am a certified Hatha Yoga teacher, as well as a Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga teacher. I offer 1:1 sessions and weekly classes in Shoreham-by-Sea.

​

Together, these experiences mean I bring a unique combination of mental health expertise, emotional sensitivity, and practical support to my work as a doula.

​

My Approach:

• Nurturing & Practical: I offer both emotional support and hands-on help.

• Client-Centred: I tailor my support to your individual needs and choices.

• Evidence-Based: I provide reliable resources so you feel empowered and informed.

• Holistic: I weave together body, mind, and emotional wellbeing.

​
