South Wales Doula UK

Sue Gibson -  Birthing and Post Natal Doula

About Me

I’m Sue, also known as the WyeDoula. I'm trained as a Birthing and Postnatal Doula and live in South Wales and have four grown up children. If you are reading this chances are you might be pregnant. If so, congratulations!

 

My fascination with childbirth started many years ago when a friend invited me to her home birth. She had an active labour, birthed in an upright position and I found it awe inspiring!

 

Up until then I had been terrified of childbirth. I came away thinking: “I could have a go at that!” I went on to marry a year later, and have my children with confidence, embracing the active childbirth principles I’d learnt from my friend.

​

Whilst giving support to another friend in labour, the midwife suggested I should become a doula. I was delighted to discover such a job existed and thus began my journey of supporting women through pregnancy, birth and beyond. 

I trained with Nurturing Birth.

 

​I've supported many women on their birth journeys, and have found it rewarding to be invited back to help with subsequent pregnancies. 

​

If you are interested in hiring me as a doula but don't live locally, some mothers have found a lot of benefit in connecting virtually. Contact me, to explore this as an option for you.

​

I offer postnatal support for new mums in the crucial first weeks after birth, as well as those with older babies. This is one of the most rewarding aspects of being a doula. Having received invaluable postnatal care from my sister-in-law, I know firsthand how much it matters. Many mums focus on birth preparation but don’t always plan for life with a newborn—I’m here to help. If you’d like to include postnatal support in your care plan, let’s chat.

Testimonials

I honestly couldn't have given it quite the go I did without Sue & Louisa's amazing support!

Our dream team kept incredible energy and momentum when we were struggling, consistently boosting morale throughout the entire experience. Their encouraging words during contractions were brilliant - helping me focus on breathing and work through the pain.

They anticipated everything we needed - food, teas, water, setting up the pool - and seamlessly handled communication with doctors and midwives, even when staff weren't entirely approachable. Having them gather all the information meant I never felt pressured to engage directly with medical staff.
Most importantly, they supported my decisions even when things didn't go according to plan, including my choice to use pain medication. That felt so supportive when I was still uncertain.

They stayed with us throughout the entire long journey, and we appreciated every single minute. We couldn't have done it without them!
