About me...

amanda the doula birth postnatal postpartum services in Leeds, Harrogate, York, Bradford west and north yorkshire

I love being out in nature and going on adventures in Pepper our camper van, but equally I enjoy taking it slow, being on the sofa, cosy with a cup of tea watching Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or Star Wars! I am obsessed with soup (and bread obvs), I eat it all year round no matter what the season… crazy right?! and I cannot resist any cake that contains Biscoff when I'm out and about!

My doula journey started after the birth of my son, I was left physically unwell and with so many emotions and what if’s? that I didn't know how to process. I knew I deserved better and so did other mums!

My passion for birth and supporting mums began, I started reading and learning a lot. The birth of my daughter nearly 2 years after was an empowering and transformative experience and I want all mums to feel this way (and not have to wait until their second baby to do so!). The birth of our children will stay with us forever and I feel so strongly about passing down positive birth stories and wisdom onto future generations, as well as breaking down the fear narrative surrounding birth.

Alongside all things birth, pregnancy and postpartum I am really into anything holistic health related and alternative therapies. This includes Ayurveda “the science of life” this ancient Indian medicine system has helped me so much in recent years when I was severely depleted and ill, it’s so powerful, my postpartum care is inspired by this.
