VIRTUAL DOULAS

T&M are a dynamic duo, each offering individual skill sets that in their own right are stand-out and above the standard for doula care (from my extensive research) in the UK. Blended together, these two beautiful women offer such a unique and extremely supportive service for women during the most amazing time in our lives. 

​

I got to work with both T&M throughout my pregnancy with Michaela being on call when my labour and birth took place. Thando’s calming and reassuring voice was also present with me during labour, through her hypnobirthing tracks. I found their doula services to be exactly as they stated at the initial meeting. Their energy and commitment to me, especially as a first time home birthing mum was incredibly special and something I will always be grateful for. I felt respected, safe and advocated for in my care with them - especially when it came to the birth itself. Our prep together before the birth proved to be extremely important, and I also felt held and supported postnatally.

​

One eg, I experienced coercion from an NHS midwife to transfer to hospital. This midwife asked my doula to convince me to transfer. Michaela stood firm in her role as my support person and made sure I felt as though I had space to make all the decisions I felt that I needed to for the birth of my baby... Her care really complemented the pregnancy and birth process I was calling in. She was a true space holder - even encouraging my husband to rest at important times to ensure he was considered, and able to be with me fully through the key parts. 

​

I would not hesitate to recommend their services to any woman and her family for doula support. How lucky we are to have women like them walking with us on our sacred journeys to become mothers. 
I wish them all the love and success in the world.
