“No One Ever Told Me That Grief Felt So Like Fear”
Bereavement Doula and Traumatic Birth Recovery
BEREAVEMENT DOULA : Like a traditional birth doula, I am here to provide physical, emotional and informational support during labour and birth, but have special training in perinatal loss.
A Bereavement Doula will work with parents to honour this birth and help them make decisions based on their unique values, beliefs, and preferences. With realistic optimism, as your Bereavement Doula, I will explain what is happening, what is about to happen, and what could happen. More importantly, Bereavement Doulas have a passion to work with families and support you through this journey with both empathy and privacy in order to grieve.
I am in the process of fulfilling necessary requirements as set out by:
Traumatic Birth Recovery programme (TBR 3 step programme)
Supporting Baby Loss & Miscarriage (also through Traumatic Birth Recovery)
