As a qualified Doula, I firmly believe that women should have the best conditions for their pregnancy and this is essential for the woman, her family and the baby’s development. I accompany the family ante-natally, intra- and post-partum.

The Alexander Technique helps to create those conditions.

The realignment of the body during pregnancy can cause constant discomfort. Learning the Alexander Technique can help women cope with their changing shape and balance of weight, relieving pain and discomfort, as well being better able to cope with the stresses of pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

How will I work with you?

I work through gentle hands-on guidance, physical movement and discussion to help you find ease and balance within yourself, whilst helping you to adjust to your new shape and the demands of pregnancy. We also work to prepare you mentally and physically for childbirth and parenthood.

“Doris is an experienced Alexander Technique teacher and amazing Doula. She was instrumental in our pregnancy journey. Her consistent support empowered us to make calm informed decisions as a family. The work with her helped preserving my sanity and enhancing my body awareness during the crucial final weeks. Her loving guidance and practical exercises prepared us thoroughly, contributing to an extremely positive birth experience. Her expertise in combining doula support with Alexander Technique principles was invaluable, making a profound difference in our transition to next level parenthood as we welcomed our second child in our home.”
