I’m Shelley, a postpartum doula based in Newcastle, Co. Dublin, providing daytime and overnight newborn support to families across Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow.
I’ve supported many families through those early weeks with a new baby, providing calm, practical and reassuring support when everything can feel a little overwhelming.
My background as a birth doula, GentleBirth instructor, experienced postpartum doula and a mum has given me a wealth of experience around pregnancy, birth, newborns and the transition into parenthood.
My approach is simple: practical help, honest information and a calm pair of hands when you need them most
"My journey to becoming a doula is rooted in my own diverse experiences associated with overwhelming loss and then the joy of bringing new life into the world. This journey has deepened my understanding of the emotional complexities that come with pregnancy and childbirth and the fourth trimester. I am here to offer compassionate support, ensuring you feel heard, valued, and cared for throughout your experience. Together, we will navigate this transformative time. I understand the profound difference a supportive doula can make and I am inspired to offer the kind of care I feel all families deserve when thrust into the parenting world."
