Personal Introduction:
Hello and welcome to my profile.
My name is Antoinette, and I am a Perinatal Doula, living in the charming town of Clevedon in North Somerset. At the age of 62, I am a mother of four adult children and a grandmother to two little boys.
My life experience is extensive with a training background in Nursing and Midwifery. I have worked in Palliative and Senior Care, Holistic Massage, and specialising in pre-natal and post-natal Health and Fitness. I have supported 28 births in my life, which include high-risk and low-risk pregnancies; I have supported home births, hospital births, and unit births.
I have always felt very passionate about motherhood and the miracle of conception and birth; my calling to work as a doula has arrived in my years of wisdom, created through my lifetime experiences. My approach is holistic, ensuring that my clients’ psychological, physiological, emotional, and practical needs are met.
My working ethos is quality, not quantity, ensuring the support for my client is dedicated and flexible. With regard to birth, I have a strong belief in the power from within and my heartfelt aim, as your doula, would be to help you connect to this inner power, with good preparation and understanding of the birthing process. I am your professional, pregnancy, and labour assistant, ensuring that it’s a safe meaningful experience.
I can support you from when you know you are pregnant until your baby is one year old. Your package will be tailored with you, by you, for you, with as little or as much support as you wish. I will also provide you with the continuity of support that you deserve. Your birthing experience will stay with you forever, so nurturing that experience for the best possible outcome is essential. My role would be to empower you and navigate you through your special journey, being your advocate and ensuring you are appropriately signposted. You would have the full benefit of my skills and knowledge. I believe that all birthing individuals and their families need, and deserve, the highest level of support; my commitment and service to you will be of the highest standard.
Consider me your gatekeeper and guardian.

I can’t recommend Antoinette enough. The support and guidance she gave me throughout my pregnancy was invaluable. With the knowledge, relaxation skills and preparation advice she taught me I was able to enjoy the entire experience in a natural and relaxed way. Not only is Antoinette very knowledgeable but her warm and nurturing nature made me feel that both myself and my baby were in very safe hands. (Debbie, 2024)
