Welcome
​​
Welcome to Bellabambini Doula and Antenatal Services
​
​
Hi my name is Linda and I'm a trained midwife with a background in working in all areas of midwifery including the community and have witnessed many beautiful home births. I'm also an author and have worked in research at the University of Oxford.
I'm passionate about all things childbirth!
​
Women have been supporting women through childbirth from the beginning of time
​
As a doula I can be there at your side from pregnancy through birth and beyond to hold a safe place, to offer comfort and reassurance and to provide the information to enable you to make informed choices.
This will free you to birth with power, confidence, calmness and a feeling of safety.
​​
I believe that part of finding that confidence and calmness comes from knowledge. This is essential to help both you and your birth partner to understand and make truly informed choices.
If you would like to chat or find out more about my Doula Services or ~Antenatal Classes before booking then you can book a free no obligation video chat. Or message me via my 'contact me' page.

Linda MMID (Master of Midwifery and Research)
My Story
I started my training as a midwife aged 43 qualifying aged 46 with 4 young children. Once qualified I worked in an obstetric unit and then progressed to a midwifery led unit and then to working within the community. So I have a lot of experience in all areas of midwifery. However, midwifery never offered me the opportunity to really get to know birthing people and their families and offer them the continuity they deserved. So I changed direction and worked at Oxford University to pursue a career in research. Having since completed a Doula training course with Birth Bliss Doulas, I now feel that this is the right time to find that continuity I have long been seeking. I would love to join you and along with your partner be your advocate on this most exciting journey into parenthood.
