Jil Wild Manning

I am a Doula UK recognised doula, and qualified maternity reflexologist. I’m also a qualified and active breastfeeding peer supporter in my local hospital, as well as offering placenta encapsulation services. I offer birth and postnatal doula support to mums and their partners. I believe that birth is a momentous time in the lives of a mother and her baby, and is a spiritual and emotional as well as a physical event…a rite of passage. I see my role as witness and supportive companion to the birthing person, partner and the incoming soul. Birth highlights our individuality and I relish the opportunity to protect the space for whatever and however you see your birth experience unfolding. I see thorough preparation as key, building in the flexibility to be able to embrace whatever unfolds. I offer a free initial 45 minute interview in my home, your home, or local venue of your choice.

About me

I am a mum of five grown up people and nana to two little honeys. I love my job supporting couples and their babies, whether that be in fertility or maternity reflexology, antenatal breastfeeding education, birth doula, placenta specialist, breastfeeding support, or postnatal doula. When I’m not doing any of these I like spending time with my family, beading, crochet, walking my dog, working out in the gym and riding fast motorbikes. I also participate in the ancient and mysterious custom of Sussex Bonfire.
