Birth and postnatal doula support with Chloe
Chloe Lewis is a FEDANT registered birth and postnatal doula, working with women and their families to provide practical and emotional support during pregnancy, birth and / or the postnatal period. Chloe is also an experienced, qualified hypnobirthing practitioner and antenatal educator with extensive knowledge of labour and birth, who has worked with hundreds of expectant parents and their partners.
A doula is a non-medical professional offering care that is focussed on your individual needs and wishes, respectful of all your choices, and provides you with guaranteed continuity and support. Some women will hire a doula as their designated birth partner but in most cases the role of a doula is to support both a woman and her partner to have an empowered and positive experience of birth. Doula care during birth and postpartum offers a wide range of benefits to your physical and mental wellbeing, and this is supported by high quality, academic research.
​
Driven by a lifelong passion for birth and babies, Chloe provides parent-centred, non-judgemental education, care and support. As your doula, Chloe promises to be by your side, offering an open-hearted, reassuring presence and a safe space for you throughout this vulnerable and transformative time in your life.

Chloe was my support doula during my pregnancy, labour and birth, and after.
​
She was such an amazing support, with lots of advice, reassurance and encouragement which helped me to have the birth I wanted.
​
Her kind voice that was whispering to me "you can do this", "gentle breathing" during my labour will always remain in my mind. She supported my views and wishes speaking them clearly when was needed during labour and birth.
​
I recommend her to any woman who wants to have the best support for the most important and special moments of her life.
