Doula Support

I have been supporting birthing families for over 30 years as a Midwife and Doula. It is an absolute joy and privilege to support families on their own unique and incredible journey to parenthood.

As your birth doula my role is primarily to support you and your family to both plan for a positive birth during your pregnancy and to be there with you whilst you birth your baby, to support you, empower you and advocate for you.

As your Doula I will support you to plan for your birth wherever and however you are planning to welcome your baby earth side. My support is also extended to your birth partner ensuring that they can be fully present with you and that they to feel supported and held.

We are a team and together with your Midwife will work to create a space where you feel held, supported and nurtured during, pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a cancellation/refund policy?

Wendy Wood Hypnobirthing reserves the right to amend or cancel any course, course times, dates or publishes prices.  Changes to course prices, times and dates will be advised before the course start date and any course already paid in full will not be subject to the increased prices.  Should Wendy Wood Hypnobirthing need to cancel part of a course, a refund will only be given for the part of the course not yet delivered minus the cost of course materials.

Will Hypnobirthing ensure a pain free birth?

Historically Hypnobirthing was promoted as a way to achieve a pain free birth. It is really important that you understand that this is not the focus of Hypnobirthing. The understanding, tools and techniques, in practice can promote increased comfort and relaxation levels. Ultimately the focus of Hypnobirthing is to promote a positive birth experience.

Will Hypnobirthing ensure that I have a perfect birth?

No one can you promise you a 'perfect' birth. My aim is for you to focus on having a positive birth experience. It's also important to acknowledge that one persons idea of a perfect birth may be very different to the next person. Hypnobirthing will support you with knowledge, belief, tools and techniques.
