Creating a family is one of the most extraordinary times in people’s lives.  The changes can be intense, challenging and one of the most important transitions in your life.  My aim is to help protect this transition and ease the journey into parenthood.

Testimonials

Happy Parents

Cally is a breastfeeding guru! There is no one else I would go to for advice. She helped me to breastfeed for the very first time when I thought I’d never be able to. The day I came home with my third baby, feeding was not going to plan, and within minutes I knew exactly who I wanted to speak to. I called Cally in desperation, knowing that she would sort me out! She welcomed me into her home, and sat with me until things were sorted. Even though I suspect it may not have been a convenient time, she seemingly dropped everything for me and my baby. Cally is one of those people who has the knack of making you feel like you’re the only one she cares about. 

Breastfeeding Support

“I would highly recommend Cally and her Doula services. She has been an incredible support to both me and my husband during the birth of our baby girl and then afterwards as well in those first few weeks when you are getting to grips with being a parent and especially with breastfeeding. Knowing she was always at the end of the phone was incredibly reassuring and calming. Cally is empathetic and respectful of your preferences and always has your back, this was exactly who we wanted to help support us. I found her energy was incredible for supporting me during the labour but also to support my husband, when he stepped out for a break she was there holding my hand, I was never alone. There were several points in my labour where we could have had a medical intervention and I feel like due to the support of Cally and her Doula role, we were very fortunate with a vaginal birth. Thank you so much Cally, for everything!”

Doula

The course was fab! Very comprehensive, covered all the relevant topics. I found the video clips particularly very helpful to actually see examples of what we were talking about. Also lots of time to answer our questions, Cally is very knowledgeable and expanded on related topics. Great to have the PowerPoint and links to refer back too, although it’s delivered via zoom it still felt friendly and sociable, especially as Cally set up a WhatsApp group to introduce ourselves beforehand to get to know each other and to provide continued support to each other as we introduce solids. Great value for money, especially as Cally is on the WhatsApp group and is kindly able to answer questions in the future. Cally delivered the course in a relaxed and reassuring way, no question is silly! And also with a great sense of humour : ) thank you!
