__**Welcome to my Wiki.**__

//My name is Tess, I'm 32 years young and live in Taunton, Somerset. I am mother to 3 wonderful, beautiful and energetic children. Josh is a 9yr old aspiring footballer, Phoebe is 6 (going on 16 ) and the baby of the family is 2yr old Maisie. They truly are the light of my life!!! I trained as a Birth Doula and as a Postnatal Doula with [|Nurturing Birth] in 2007. My main reason for becoming a doula was my passionate belief that every woman has the right to experience the birth of her choice and to enjoy the early days and weeks of motherhood.// media type="custom" key="527293" As a birth doula I will help to prepare you for the birth, we can discuss any particular birthing plans you may have, discuss comfort techniques and what you can expect during labour. I will be available to contact 24 hours a day for 2 weeks before your due date and up to 2 weeks after. I will be there for you and your partner during the birth and will only leave after your baby has arrived and you are settled and comfortable. I include 2 antenatal visits, the labour and the birth and 2 postnatal visits. As a postnatal doula I am there to help to adjust to life with your new arrival. I offer practical support, from cooking the dinner, sorting the laundry or just walking the dog as well as offering emotional support. I can help with any feeding issues, support you with establishing routines and generally be a listening ear.
