Birth and postnatal doula support with Chloe
Chloe Lewis is a FEDANT registered birth and postnatal doula, working with women and their families to provide practical and emotional support during pregnancy, birth and / or the postnatal period. Chloe is also an experienced, qualified hypnobirthing practitioner and antenatal educator with extensive knowledge of labour and birth, who has worked with hundreds of expectant parents and their partners.
A doula is a non-medical professional offering care that is focussed on your individual needs and wishes, respectful of all your choices, and provides you with guaranteed continuity and support. Some women will hire a doula as their designated birth partner but in most cases the role of a doula is to support both a woman and her partner to have an empowered and positive experience of birth. Doula care during birth and postpartum offers a wide range of benefits to your physical and mental wellbeing, and this is supported by high quality, academic research.
​
Driven by a lifelong passion for birth and babies, Chloe provides parent-centred, non-judgemental education, care and support. As your doula, Chloe promises to be by your side, offering an open-hearted, reassuring presence and a safe space for you throughout this vulnerable and transformative time in your life.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT CHLOE
ANYA
We realised during the sessions that we were carrying quite a bit of anxiety around going into the birthing experience and Chloe worked with us to address all of those. I'm very clear on the experience I'd like for my birth and also feel much more relaxed and comfortable that I'll be able to handle things not going to plan. The follow up materials and birthing tracks are great. We were listened to deeply, armed with a different perspective and empowered to move forwards. Thanks so much Chloe!!
JILLIAN
Chloe is incredible! I feel so much more informed about birth. I am actually looking forward to implementing what I’ve learned when our little one is due next month. Chloe has made me feel empowered about the numerous choices we have and how to be prepared for the unexpected. The tips and tricks she shares are invaluable. Thank you so much Chloe!
AMISHA
I listened to Chloe’s hypnobirthing tracks during my intense contractions and this really calmed me down. Her breathing techniques got me through and meant that I was able to stay at home comfortably for as long as possible. I managed to get through the whole labour with no pain relief & when it came to pushing, I followed Chloe’s breathing advice which resulted in no tears or stitches. I felt like a superwoman! I am so thankful for Chloe.
