Hi lovely Mama
My name is Jenna and
I am the Minimalist Doula
I am a recognised birth doula with Doula UK, a pregnancy yoga teacher, a Positive Birth Movement Facilitator and I run the DoulaNatal antenatal workshops to build birth confidence.
I am a mother of two living in Surbiton and have a keen interest in self love, emotional health and the mind body connection.
I love women and believe in our ability to birth our babies however we choose to.
If you would like to know more about any of my services please look around my website and if you have any questions please do get in touch for an informal chat.
Doula love
Jenna

I'm guessing if you've ended up on my website you are looking for some extra support during your pregnancy and birth, you may be scared of birth or becoming a mother, your partner may be looking for some support too, you may have lots of questions or you may be looking to change things second or third time around...
So what is a doula?
A doula is a woman who offers a birthing or new mother unconditional emotional support, practical help and is a source of information to empower women to make informed choices.

Why have a doula?
In 2012, Hodnett et al published an updated Cochrane review on the use of continuous support for women during childbirth.
When continuous labour support was provided by a doula, women experienced a:
31% decrease in the use of Syntocinon*
28% decrease in the risk of Caesarean*
12% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth*
9% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief
14% decrease in the risk of newborns being admitted to a special care nursery
34% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience*
