Sue Gibson - Birthing and Post Natal Doula

Your doula and birth advocate is here for you

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.
