IPSWICH DOULA - ANDREA PAGE

The word "Doula" comes from Greek and means "Mothering the mother or a woman's personal servant". A Doula is trained in supporting and empowering women and their support person during pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting. Their primary and unique role is to increase the mothers confidence and feeling of safety. Also standing by the mother no matter how the birth journey unfolds and any decision the birthing mother may make. A Doula can significantly help reduce fear and tension, and create a calmer and settled environment.

About Me

I'm Andrea Page and I welcome you to my site. I have five wonderful children, 4 girls and 1 boy, I'm also married to a hard working supportive man who I met as a teenager. We have been together ever since. After I had my first baby I started to develop an intense interest in pregnancy and the awesome ability of women to birth their babies. After having my second and third children, I decided it was time to put my passion to good use. I figured the best way to do this was to become a certified Doula. In 2015 I embarked on my birth Doula and postpartum Doula training with Childbirth International and after a year I'm now certified and excited to help women and their support people with their pregnancy, birth and new baby experiences.
