Kind words from families I’ve supported

  • We had a wonderful 10 nights with Zoe. As a father of my second child, having someone come and help us and really fit in with the family was so important. She was so helpful in settling our daughter in her cot and we always enjoyed a great night’s sleep. I can’t wait to have a third child and work with Zoe again.

  • Zoe helped our family for two nights a week for six weeks from newborn onwards. She was such a brilliant addition to our family and I felt so supported by her. She’s kind, knowledgeable, warm, gentle and loving — the perfect combination for a doula and night doula.

Kind words from a family I’ve supported

Our experience with Zoe was amazing and so helpful for our situation. Zoe provided us with a very reassuring and calm environment and made our birthing experience much more relaxed. She was accommodating to our situation and provided us with great support to allow us to have a few less things to worry about.

We loved our interactions from the initial online call to a home visit, which really made us feel comfortable and cared for with Zoe, and the continued communication was excellent.
