Cheryl attended my 2nd birth as the ‘back up’ doula for Selena Rollason. They worked so closely together in the lead up to me going into labour that I felt comfortable and supported by both of them, but most importantly by Cheryl who was there on that very special day. If it weren’t for Cheryl and her calm advocacy I may not have been able to go home from hospital to labour as I was there for a check up when my waters broke and i was in early labour. Going home made all the difference as I went from 0 to 10cm within 3 hours once we left the hospital. Cheryl met us back at the hospital, again, calm and confident, as I struggled to make it to the door! I am so proud of my vbac and I know it was my own inner strength that got me there, but having a doula who can help create the right environment within the medical model meant I could just focus on giving birth, and my husband could also just be in the moment with me. She was available postnatally, and recommended a great massage therapist for self- care after baby. Thank you Cheryl. X
