Let’s doula it!
By Anne Glover Motherdoula HypnoBirthing teacher in Northern Ireland
The podcast is for anyone interested in anything to do with birth!
Throughout the podcast I chat to various doulas, midwives, mothers, parents and other professionals working in the birth world. We are all striving to raise awareness of resources and support available in NI
There's also some relaxation episodes thrown in for good measure!
My hope is that you enjoy this podcast and my dream is that we can all make a little difference

She has taught HypnoBirthing for over 13 years, is trained in infant massage and reflexology, and also trained in Birth Trauma Resolution (BTR) by Jenny Mullan, www.birthtraumaresolution.com.
