Jo Rogers
Hello, I'm Jo, a recognised doula providing Breastfeeding Support in Cambridge, further afield and online.
I have a special interest in infant feeding and am a trained breastfeeding counsellor. I am available for standalone antenatal and postnatal infant feeding support.
I have lived experience of parenting with a chronic illness and whilst being neurodivergent. I am happy to explore what your parenting might look like in similar circumstances.
More about me
Feeling safe, especially during pregnancy, birthing and afterwards, isn’t a luxury. Helping you to feel loved and held, heard and cherished during these tender times is what I do. My work is to create a container in which you can be utterly yourself.
I will be led by you – I will not impose my own values and opinions on your choices. I will meet you where you are, and support you practically and emotionally, however you need.
I will listen to your wishes, concerns and preferences, and if asked, will provide you with information that will help you to make your own informed choices about your pregnancy, birth and parenting journey
I am able to provide you with antenatal infant feeding education and a space to explore your current wishes and feelings around feeding your baby. We can talk through how the early days of feeding your baby might look and put things in place to help feeding and bonding go as smoothly as possible.
The first hours after the birth are precious and tender and I will do everything I am able to ensure you have the tools to welcome your baby into the world. I will support you to feed your baby in the early postnatal if you wish.
As a doula, I feel that part of my role is to help new parents toward feeling confident in caring for their new baby. I will encourage, support and nurture the whole family in transitioning smoothly from pregnancy to having a new life in their home.
When I arrive to support you I am not judging you, your home, or your parenting choices.
I believe that everyone has a right to birth and nurture their baby in the way they choose. I aim to provide grounded, practical support and information as well as a sense of comfort to your family.
I have supported families who birth physiologically, choosing VBACs and those who planned a c-section.
I am an experienced leader of sacred ceremony and would be honoured to support you in writing your own Prenatal Blessing or Naming ceremony.
My passion is pastoral care and well-being and after over two decades of learning and self-exploration, as well as being a doula, I am a Spiritual Companion, and Sound Healer.
I am always learning something new, attending study days and sharing sessions with other doulas. For a comprehensive list please visit my website.
