Welcome to Cambridgeshire Doulas

wool doula and parentsWe believe that every mother and family is unique, so each will benefit from differing doula support.

If you’d like to know more about doulas feel free to get in touch with any of us – we’d love to hear from you.

Choosing a doula can be overwhelming – especially when presented with a long list of local doulas. We encourage you to browse through the listings and create a short list of doulas who you like the look of, or who seem to be offering what you are looking for. Then reach out to a handful and have a phone chat before deciding if you’d like to meet. You can’t hurt a doula’s feelings – all we care about is that you find the doula that suits you. Alternatively, you can send us a message telling us what you are looking for, and the doulas who are available to offer you support will get in touch with you directly.

We are a group of self-employed doulas working together as a cooperative group. We support each other to offer you a one-stop-shop to finding a doula in the Cambridgeshire area. We are bound by a Code of Conduct and other supporting documents that guide our practice.

We are not an agency – so any agreement you reach with your doula is with her and her alone.  But once you ask for the support of a Cambs Doula, you have tapped into a community of sisterhood and support. We are a varied bunch – different ages, different doula experiences, different life experiences, and skills. So there will always be someone who has the answer to your question or the key to your problem or challenge.

We know that there is a doula for every woman. Who you choose will not necessarily rest on her experience or qualifications, but on how you ‘click’ with her when you meet for the first time. We know that having a doula can make having a baby a much more pleasurable and fulfilling experience and this is especially true if you have a deep and trusting relationship with your doula – so use your gut instinct and pick someone you really like!

We provide practical and emotional support to meet your individual needs during childbirth or in those early days at home.
