Mudderhood
I’m Amanda, a birth and postpartum doula, mum and Certified Lactation Professional. Through my own journey into motherhood, I’ve developed a real passion for supporting women through pregnancy, birth and the huge transition that comes with becoming a mum.
My own experiences of pregnancy, birth, feeding and motherhood have given me a real understanding of just how amazing, overwhelming, messy and unpredictable this time can be. I’m passionate about making women feel comfortable being honest about how they’re really doing, without judgement
or pressure.
My ambition is to offer the kind of support that helps families feel genuinely cared for, listened to and
confident in their own choices. I want to be a calm, practical person in your corner, whether you need reassurance, information, a bit of encouragement, or simply someone to say, “Yep, this is
hard, and you’re doing OK."
