Welcome To Saddleworth Doula

Hi, I’m Becky, the heart behind Saddleworth Doula. As a mama of two beautiful children, both born at home, I know firsthand how life-changing pregnancy and birth can be. My own experiences, filled with love, learning, and empowerment, inspired me to create a space where expectant and new mothers feel truly supported, heard, and cared for.

Saddleworth Doula was born out of a deep passion for helping families navigate the incredible journey of bringing a baby into the world. With over 7 years of experience working with pregnant women and offering postnatal care, I’ve seen how proper support can transform this time into one of joy, confidence, and connection. I’m here to provide the tools, reassurance, and guidance you need to embrace your pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood with calm and clarity.

I believe every woman deserves a positive and empowering experience, free from fear or anxiety. Whether it's through hands-on doula care, aqua natal yoga, hypnobirthing, or postnatal services, my goal is to nurture not just your body but also your mind and spirit. Together, we’ll create a journey that feels as unique and beautiful as the bond you’re building with your baby.

Because every family deserves the best possible start, I’m honoured to offer these services to expectant mothers and their families in the Saddleworth area. This isn’t just a job for me – it’s a calling, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

My Services

Doula Services

Experience personalised and nurturing care throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey with my professional doula services. As your doula, I provide emotional, physical, and informational support tailored to your needs. From helping you navigate your options and create a birth plan to offering hands-on assistance during labour, I’m here to ensure you feel confident, supported, and empowered. I’m by your side in the postpartum period to help you adjust to life with your newborn.

Hypnobirthing

Take control of your birth experience with our empowering hypnobirthing classes. Using proven techniques and practical tools, I help you replace fear and anxiety with calm and confidence. Hypnobirthing promotes relaxation, helping you stay focused and in control during your labour while reducing the need for medical interventions. The classes cover breathing techniques, visualisation, and mindfulness exercises, all designed to make your birth as comfortable and natural as possible. You also get information to help you make informed decisions about your care.

Baby Massage

Deepen the bond with your little one through these soothing baby massage classes. They are designed to promote relaxation, calmness, and emotional connection while supporting your baby’s physical and mental development. By using gentle, safe techniques, you’ll learn how to relieve your baby’s discomforts, such as colic or teething pain, while enhancing their overall well-being. Baby massage also improves sleep patterns and stimulates your baby’s nervous system, aiding in their development. Our classes provide a nurturing space for you to connect with your baby and other parents.

Aqua Natal Yoga

Stay active, relaxed, and connected with your baby through gentle and rejuvenating water-based exercises. Aqua Natal Yoga is a safe and effective way to maintain your fitness, ease pregnancy discomforts, and prepare your body for birth. My classes are designed to promote overall well-being, combining light cardiovascular activity with relaxation techniques. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with other expectant mothers in a supportive and uplifting environment.

Pregnancy Yoga

Nurture your mind, body, and baby with yoga tailored specifically for pregnancy. The classes focus on gentle stretching, strengthening, and breathing techniques to support your changing body and prepare you for labour. Pregnancy Yoga helps alleviate common discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and fatigue while promoting relaxation and emotional balance. Each session is designed to create a deeper connection with your growing baby, encouraging mindfulness and moments of peace in your busy day.

Breastfeeding Support

Navigating your breastfeeding journey can come with unique challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone. Compassionate and expert-led breastfeeding support is here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re just beginning or seeking help with specific concerns, I provide personalised advice and practical strategies to make your breastfeeding experience as smooth and fulfilling as possible. From latching techniques to understanding your baby’s feeding cues, I’m here to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to nourish your baby.

Empowering you to Trust Yourself

Pregnancy and birth are natural, beautiful processes, yet they can sometimes feel overwhelming. My goal is to help you replace fear with confidence, empowering you to trust your instincts and embrace your strength. Through education, encouragement, and practical tools, I help you prepare for the birth experience that feels right for you.

Holistic Approach to Motherhood

At Saddleworth Doula, I recognise motherhood is more than just physical preparation – it’s also an emotional and spiritual journey. My services address every aspect of this experience, helping you feel balanced, supported, and connected to your baby. Whether through the calming effects of aqua yoga or the bonding moments of baby massage, I help you embrace every stage of this incredible time.

Building a Supportive Community

Pregnancy and motherhood can sometimes feel isolating, but they don’t have to. Through group classes like aqua natal yoga and baby massage, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with other parents who are sharing similar experiences. These connections can provide invaluable camaraderie and encouragement.
