Alex Elisabeth Doula

I’m Alex, a mother to two incredible little people, a partner to an excellent human and an experienced doula and facilitator (I don’t love that word but I’m still landing on the right one!). I’m a curious, deeply feeling person who loves to laugh and connect. I’ve recently discovered I’m neurodivergent and it feels like I’m finally finding the many missing pieces of my puzzle. I’m comfortable with big feelings, love new experiences and connection and my hyperfocus skills are next level. I’m an extroverted introvert and can’t live without coffee and fizzy water.

I believe in you and in individualised continuity of care. You are worthy of being celebrated and my work is always guided by my values. I don’t support birth and postpartum just because I adore babies, but because I am mad about caring for mothers and families (though no denying it, the babies are adorable!)

As your companion, I don’t empower you, because you’re powerful already! I hold you, provide you with confidence, skills and information so that you own doing birth your way. We talk a lot about advocacy, rights, decision making, your needs and the resilience you have during pregnancy so that you can meet birth in an embodied way. This time is YOURS.

We will deep dive into the physiology of birth and postpartum, how we can prepare mentally, physically and emotionally and what you need to feel safe, heard and loved at every stage, which is completely unique to you!
We’ll look at birth and postpartum as a journey that can take many pathways, and plan for them. We’ll deep dive into what’s important for you and why, and focus on how you need to feel during this experience.

I’m always learning and deeply curious about holistic care for mothers, and connecting you with the resources you need. I love working with skilled individuals in the space who bring their own much needed expertise and care. We’ll build up a network of loved ones, health professionals, bodyworkers and supporters that feels aligned for you because you deserve your chosen village.

I’m a matrescence advocate and am passionate about providing neuroaffirming and trauma-sensitive care and I never make assumptions about the stories and experiences you hold.
