Supporting you through Pregnancy, birth and beyond
Welcome to Strong Doula Support
My name is Amber Strong and I have been a pregnancy, birth and postnatal Doula since 2016.
Pregnancy and birth – whilst for many, are beautiful, natural stages of life – can sometimes seem daunting to others. As your Doula, I am concerned only with what pregnancy and birth mean to YOU. You may have had a previous birth experience that left you feeling hurt and disappointed. This may be your first baby – and you want to ensure you are well prepared and well informed. You may want to know that you will have continuity of care wherever you choose to give birth. Whatever your reasons for wanting a Doula, you will be respected and supported here.
There is a wealth of information out there and it can feel overwhelming. As your Doula, I help support your right to make empowered, informed decisions, and do my best to ensure that these are honoured.
As Doulas, we support women throughout their pregnancy, are with them during their labour, and continue to provide practical support, help and advice after baby is born.
What you do – what you and your bodies are capable of is amazing. Birth, approached with the right tools and with robust support can be the most powerful and positive experience, for both you and your baby. It is always the greatest honour and privilege to witness.
I am a registered, recognised Doula with Doula Uk, and work with women and their families in Somerset and the surrounding area. It is never too late to get in touch – and I am always happy to have an informal chat on the phone.
I support all births and work with families planning home birth in the area, births at Frome Birth Centre, Bath RUH, and Yeovil District Hospital.
I also work as a postnatal Doula, supporting families as they transition to life with a new-born, working with them as their family life gently re-shapes and redefines.
I am also happy to work with you on a one off Birth Preferences consultation or to support you in a Birth Debrief session, giving you space to share your previous Birth experience(s).
