About
Hello and a warm welcome to my website. I'm Zara and I am an Oxfordshire based Mum, Doula and Yoga Teacher.
In 2019 I graduated from Bristol School of Yoga after completing my 200 hour Hatha Yoga teacher training with Laura Gilmour and Ashley Russell. I'm also fully qualified to teach pregnancy and postnatal yoga.
I have always been inspired by the strength of women and the miracle of birth. This is why I became a professional Doula in 2021 and am proud to serve women and families throughout Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
My Doula training began in 2010 with Nurturing Birth and since this time I have completed a refresher course with the inspiring team at Nurturing Birth in 2021.
Being a Nurturing Birth Doula means that I have the support and ongoing mentoring of the team and have access to up to date information.
I have completed a Supporting Every Birth Workshop which has given me the tools to value and honor every birth and support families through loss.
Every woman deserves to have someone there to guide and assist them in making educated choices about their pregnancy, and remind them that they can trust the strength of their bodies during this time. I’m here to provide unbiased information and emotional support.
As a Doula I provide emotional, educational and physical support during pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatally.
From relaxation techniques to building strength and stamina for labor and birth, to breastfeeding guidance. I'm here for you!
I am completely invested in your comfort, safety and empowerment.
Throughout your pregnancy I am here to offer knowledge, advice and to help you understand and prepare you for the birth of your baby.
At the time of birth I will advocate for you and your family, protecting and reinforcing your birth preferences.
In the weeks after baby arrives, I will be by your side to support you emotionally and practically, to help make your transition to parenthood as smooth as possible.
I would absolutely love to hear from you if you think my support could be of benefit to you.
