Amazing sessions with Phoebe who is so lovely and personable and has changed the game for my feeding journey with baby! She is so knowledgeable and was immediately able to identify and help with any and all issues I was having. Thousand percent recommend
Feebs is a total feeding legend!!!! She is so knowledgeable and literally an hour with her by our side transformed our feeding journey. She’s kind considerate and charismatic and we are so thankful for her time and expertise. We reached out to her after meeting at NCT when we had an underweight newborn, she came to our house within a day and was so responsive and helpful at a stressful time, so grateful and would recommend to anyone!!! thanks so much Feebs!!
Phoebe came around at short notice and was so understanding and helped me and my baby to improve the latch. Her kindness really helped when I was in the depths of cluster feeding and feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend!
Amazing Support from an Incredible Doula – Thank You, Phoebe!
Ah Phoebe, where to start?
If I was to just simply describe her in a few words, the following come to mind: force of nature, zest for life, optimistic, experienced, full of love and wisdom, non-judgemental, best listener, advocate and ally!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Phoebe! I am a first time mum with no experience whatsoever when it comes to anything pregnancy related. Finding out I was pregnant brought a lot of mixed feelings - joy, excitement and all the wonderful emotions you can imagine. However, for me it also brought along panic, anxiety and fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of having no experience at all with pregnancy and childbirth. Fear of birth. Fear of looking after a child and all it entails i.e. breastfeeding, 1st bath etc. Fear of “lack of representation” and having to self advocate for myself on a topic and an environment that I wasn’t familiar with!
Then along came Phoebe! From the very beginning, she brought such a calm, reassuring presence into my pregnancy journey (and fun too!). She took the time to truly listen to my concerns, answer my endless questions, and make me feel empowered every step of the way. She also made my partner feel involved and looked after at every single step.
Phoebe was an absolute rock or rock star (take your pick!).There was no way, I would have done labour without her support. She provided the perfect balance of emotional support and practical guidance, which helped me stay focused and filled me with confidence to go through childbirth. On the day itself, Phoebe was present, offered comforting words, was by my side and made all the difference in my experience! She got on with the medical team, was willing to work with them to ensure that I had the perfect experience.
Beyond her expertise, what makes Phoebe truly special is her warmth and genuine care - she honestly became part of our family! She doesn’t just do this as a job—it’s clear that she is deeply passionate about supporting new mums and families. Even after birth, Phoebe continued to check in on us, offering encouragement and advice as I adjusted to new motherhood.
If you are looking for a doula who is kind, knowledgeable, and wholeheartedly invested in your well-being, I cannot recommend Phoebe enough. She is a gift, and I feel so lucky to have had her as part of my journey! I have her on speed- dial and she continues to be my biggest champion as I navigate motherhood.
Phoebe was my doula for my first baby (early summer 2024). She was exactly what I was after in that she was someone I could easily get on with and she was someone who really knew her stuff about birth and my rights while interacting with the NHS. I opted for a home birth which Phoebe was 100% supportive of. She was in touch with me throughout the pregnancy (exactly as much as I wanted, i.e. not too much and not too little) and we met up multiple times at my home. I chose to have an extra session with her just before baby arrived, little one was overdue and Phoebe helped me feel more relaxed and more 'in the zone' for him to make an appearance.
On the big day, Phoebe was in constant contact and came over as soon as I asked her to. She was cool, calm and collected. She supported me perfectly, as well as my husband with any questions he had. I needed help with working my TENS machine so Phoebe dived in and managed that for me. I felt like I wanted to speed up his arrival so she helped me with some positions which certainly helped him into a better position. She encouraged me throughout and I felt completely safe and comfortable with her at home while I gave birth. She interacted really well with the homebirth midwife, at one point the midwife just said "listen to Phoebe, do what she says" to me. My little one arrived a little dramatically as the midwife couldn't get a good heart rate, Phoebe helped manage anxiety and helped me get him out quickly to avoid needing to attend hospital.
Phoebe helped me with establishing breast feeding right away and stayed with me, my husband and little one until we felt happy and relaxed for her to leave us. Phoebe supported me with some additional follow up sessions to support with breastfeeding, I am still breastfeeding now so those sessions worked really well!
I can't recommend Phoebe enough. She was exactly what I wanted and what I needed for my little one's fantastic home birth!
I cannot recommend Phoebe enough, the knowledge, care and love provided by her was endless.
Phoebe shared her knowledge with me which in turn pushed me to research and learn more about my body, labour and breastfeeding. This being my third child I really wanted to persevere with breastfeeding - now one month in, baby girl and I are thriving.
Phoebe made it a priority to provide information to me about anything and everything I was unsure about aswell as reminding me that everything was my choice during my pregnancy and birthing experience.
Phoebe was professional, compassionate, and calm which allowed me to focus on my breathing and staying calm throughout my labour and I can't imagine the experience without her. Phoebe made sure all my wishes were heard during labour, made sure I was happy in my environment i.e. room, lighting, music and protected my privacy as much as possible which was really important for me.
I put it all down to having Phoebe as my doula that this was my most pain free, natural and best pregnancys and births compared to my previous ones.
Afterwards Phoebe called to check up on my baby and I multiple times and offered me support.
If I ever chose to have another baby I would without doubt have Phoebe as my Doula again!
I had such an incredible experience from start to finish with this birth and Phoebe, all in all making this the most unstressful birthing experiences for me.
Thank you Phoebe ❤
My sister was really struggling and Phoebe turned up to help within an hour to reassure her, build her confidence and get the baby latched on in the right position. She said you were amazing ♥️
Phoebe ran the breastfeeding session of our NCT course, which was really informative and useful, and then we had an individual visit with Phoebe at our house a few days after our daughter was born. I’d been struggling with breastfeeding and was getting quite disheartened. Phoebe helped me put what we’d learned on the course into practice. She was a very calming influence and reassured us we weren’t alone in finding it tricky and upsetting - and that it’s all about practice. We’re now in a really good place with breastfeeding and it’s such a huge relief. Thank you for your help, Phoebe!
We had a group breastfeeding session with Phoebe via NCT and then a one to one session once our little one was born. She provided loads of useful advice in the group session and gave practical tips that take into account the realities of family life. In the one to one session, she was brilliant at providing nuanced personal adjustments to my technique to help build my confidence with multiple positions and to recognise a really good latch. I cannot recommend her enough - especially within the first week to help establish good technique and prevent soreness or damage. Thank you Phoebe!
