Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula

Covering Co. Kerry

Hi there, I'm Amy. As a certified birth and postpartum doula and a mother of 3 wonderful children, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and empowering support to families during one of the most transformative times of their lives. Through my personal and professional experiences of birth and postpartum, I will ensure that you and your family feel supported and informed throughout your journey into parenthood.

My journey into the world of birth work began with my own experiences of pregnancy and childbirth. The impact of these experiences inspired me to become a doula. I pursued training and certification through DoulaCare Ireland, equipping myself with the knowledge and skills to support families with empathy and expertise.

I believe that birth is a natural, powerful and profoundly personal experience. My approach is centered on respect for each family's unique needs and preferences. Whether you are planning a homebirth or hospital delivery, my goal is to support you in making informed decisions that align with your values and desires.

Birth Doula Support:

Continuous physical, emotional and informational support during labour and delivery.Personalised birth planning assistance. Comfort measures and pain management techniques

Postpartum Doula Support:

Assistance with newborn care and feeding. Emotional support during the postpartum adjustment period. Practical help with household tasks. Guidance on self care and recovery. Overnight support to ensure parents get the rest they need. In addition to my doula services, I have a passion for cooking which I bring into my postpartum care. I believe that nourishing, home-cooked meals can significantly enhance recovery and wellbeing during the postpartum period. I am happy to prepare delicious meals for your family, giving you more time to rest and bond with your newborn.

Every family's journey is unique & I would be honoured to be a part of your journey. I bring a calm, reassuring presence and a genuine passion for supporting families.
