I’m Amanda the
Doula
A birth strategy doula based in Knaresborough working with families across Harrogate, Leeds and York. Check if I cover your area here.
You’re here cos you’re done with bare minimum maternity care. When it comes to birth, you don’t want to be another patient pushed through a system that isn’t serving women well.
The birth you’re dreaming of isn’t achieved by "luck”. It’s a strategic choice.
One minute, you’re picturing that calm, golden-hour arrival - your partner focused on you, your baby in your arms. The next minute, the reality of the UK 56% intervention rate hits.
That’s the gap and that’s where I come in.
I help you build your birth. We strip away the distraction and get clear on what you actually want and what happens when that gets challenged.
You bring the dream. I’ll bring the strategy.
I’m there in real-time to handle any nonsense, so you don’t get pushed into something you didn’t choose.
I’m your radical advocate. I protect your vibe so you can just crack on.
What I offer…
Birth Doula
When someone says “you’re not allowed” - you know it’s your body and your baby.
You’re not sitting there second-guessing it. You know where you stand.
