“As a first time mum I was nervous about labour and delivery, and having read about the difference that having a doula can make I sought out Kamila. I felt instantly at ease with her. Looking back on the birth now I can’t imagine having done it without Kamila – she was a huge support to me and my husband in both practical and emotional terms. She was a reassuring and encouraging presence during all my labour. I felt I could completely rely on her

She was a reassuring and encouraging presence during all my labour. I felt I could completely rely on her. My husband is from China and having our first child in the UK was a big ‘unknown’ for him, particularly in terms of it being a different culture as well as a first child. Kamila’s presence and support helped him to feel more at ease with the process and to understand how to support me. He made the comparison afterwards that giving birth without a doula would be like flying economy class long haul when you’ve already had a long tiring journey and have a lot of work to do when you reach your destination, but having a doula was like business class – it is worth spending some extra to be more comfortable when you’ve just been through pregnancy and are about to embark on the challenges of parenthood. If you are thinking of finding a doula we would definitely recommend Kamila, as she is more than just a doula, she is a very knowledgeable and supportive friend who genuinely cares about the people she works with.”
