"I am so grateful for these generous comments from parents who gave birth in 2007"   Louise Langham 14.1.2008  

"We were so put at ease with her calm and confident manner and would unreservedly ask her to be our doula for future births" 

"Louise gave me reassurance about what was happening, confidence, advice and most importantly belief in myself.  When in pain, Louise offered suggestions on positioning, emotional and physical support"

"My husband also found Louise’s presence invaluable, for practical support and reassurance about what was happening. We can not recommend Louise highly enough"

"Once in hospital, Louise let the midwives carry out their role and provided me with extra support, a hand to hold and a smiling familiar face. I managed to deliver naturally with just a little gas and air. The birth was a positive magical experience"

"When I think back to her calm and loving manner towards me: ‘mothering the mother’- the phrase used to describe a doula- is just what comes to mind".

"My husband was put at ease by Louise’s presence and he played a pivotal role during labour without feeling misplaced. In fact he discussed things with Louise at length after the birth, which I’m sure he needed to do".

"All in all, having Louise as my doula resulted in a journey of self study, reflection and gaining knowledge and strength because she was always there to listen and encourage me"
