Hello!
I'm Megan, a new Doula based in Manchester.
Training completed in June 2024 with The Doula Training Foundation (Doula UK accredited course)
UNICEF baby friendly trained.
Just under 3 years experience in one of the country's most high risk hospitals.
About me...
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by all things pregnancy and birth! In 2021 I began my midwifery degree and spent 3 years working in one of the busiest maternity hospitals in the North West. As I am no longer in the midwifery profession, I did not want my passion to end there so I decided to qualify as a doula! In June 2024 I completed my course with the Doula Training Foundation, which is a Doula UK accredited course.
I have found that my knowledge from working within many specialisms has made my love for birth even stronger. I am devoted to making every woman's experience in the maternity setting as positive as possible, however you decide to birth!
​
When working within the NHS, I noticed that due to how busy healthcare workers are, there is a massive gap in the emotional support that women are entitled to. As a doula, I want to fill that gap, ensuring that you are empowered, well informed and feel confident in your choices.
​
No one can guarantee a perfect birthing experience or a smooth journey into becoming a mother but it is my job to ensure you feel supported and listened to. I will tailor all my support to your own needs as there is a no-size-fits-all!
​
At your birth, I can be as hands on as you want me to be. I can be there to help your partner to support you or if you don't have a birth partner I can take that place. However, I will never be providing any clinical care as I am not a medical professional - I am purely there to support you, empower you and ensure your preferences are followed.
During my midwifery degree, I regularly undertook UNICEF baby-friendly training and have lots of experience in supporting breastfeeding so I am well equipped to prepare you for breastfeeding during pregnancy and I can also provide breastfeeding support postnatally as part of your care. I am also experienced in other forms of infant feeding and will support you with whatever you choose to do.
​
If you decide to work with me, it will be my pleasure to advocate for you and ensure you have the most positive experience possible!
