Candice Lattimore

I began supporting people through the antenatal and postnatal period when I had my first child in 1999 and felt like a rabbit caught in headlights. No idea what to do or where to go for support. After the birth of my second child in 2002 I met a woman at a baby group who was an antenatal teacher and training to be a doula, and I immediately knew I wanted to train to do this to guide and support other parents navigating the sometimes confusing world of maternity systems and choices.

I aim to do just that, guide, support and inform with evidence-based information, decision-making tools alongside relaxation techniques to get ready for the birth of your baby. The support works well alongside antenatal classes and midwifery appointments, I aim to be an advocate for your choices during your pregnancy.

I have now been supporting families for over 15 years through pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period as a doula and provider of antenatal and postnatal education. I’ve also added hypnobirthing, babywearing, NLP and introducing solids to my list of skills.

As you may have read by now, each doula offers their own unique skills and personality to a birthing woman’s journey through pregnancy, birth and those crucial early days of parenting. The best way to see if we will get on is to have a free informal chat over a hot drink or zoom and spend time seeing how I could support you.
