Friendly and Supportive Cambridgeshire Doula | Specialising in VBAC Support and Antenatal Education

Hello, and welcome!

I’m Shannon – a dedicated doula, mother of four, and someone who believes deeply in empowering families through every step of the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.

Based in Huntingdon, I’m well placed to support families across Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, and Rutland — and if you're further afield, I also offer virtual services so you can access support no matter where you are.

My passion for birth work was born from my own transformative experience achieving a VBA3C (vaginal birth after three caesareans). It was a journey filled with emotion and learning, and it showed me just how powerful informed, compassionate support can be. Since then, VBAC support has become a cornerstone of my practice. I’ve personally experienced inductions, emergency and semi-elective c-sections, and a physiological birth — and I’ve prepared for home births too. All of this shapes the care I offer, rooted in empathy, understanding, and the belief that your choices matter deeply.

I trained with Developing Doulas and am currently a mentored doula, bringing fresh energy and genuine care to the families I work with. I’m also a certified hypnobirthing facilitator with Birth Prep in a Box, offering gentle, practical antenatal education courses in Cambridgeshire and beyond. In early 2024, I added another string to my bow by becoming an NCT-trained breastfeeding peer supporter, allowing me to support you with feeding in those precious early days.

Outside of doula work, I'm in what I fondly call my homemaker era. I love cooking from scratch, and one day I dream of a garden big enough to grow my own vegetables and herbs. Our home is full of comforting rituals – incense, a few crystals, and a Pagan altar (though I’m not practicing). I’m a big introvert and tend to be socially awkward — except, strangely, when I'm supporting clients. With you, I feel completely present and at ease. As part of a neurodivergent family, I also bring lived experience to supporting neurodivergent clients with care that is understanding, respectful, and truly tailored.

I know that welcoming a baby is as tender and intense as it is joyful. My aim is always to walk alongside you with kindness, encouragement, and the practical support you need to feel calm and confident in your decisions.

If you’re looking for a doula in Cambridgeshire, Huntingdon or Northamptonshire, I’d love to chat. Whether you're preparing for a VBAC, interested in an antenatal course, or looking for grounded support in the postpartum period — I'm here to walk with you.

Get in touch, and let’s begin this journey together.
