Karen and Ailsa offer a postnatal doula service in the Wokingham area. Our service is special because there are two of us, giving us greater flexibility and a wider range of skills than a doula working alone.

Double Helping Doulas give you twice as much help!

We both have different experiences to bring to our work, and trained with Nurturing Birth, a Doula UK recognised trainer.

What does a postnatal doula do?

We care for you while you care for your baby, by:

• Listening and offering encouragement and information;
• Helping you to get some rest;
• Helping you learn about newborn care and calming;
• Supporting you on your first trips out with your baby;
• Tidying and meal preparation;
• Offering specialist breastfeeding knowledge;
• Helping with administration and visitor management;
• Finding sources of social and professional support in the area.
