"I came across Callie through a friend at what seemed to be the perfect time, I had just had a home birth with my daughter and was feeling like I needed a helping hand, I still think it was a synchronistic event us coming together! I bonded with her immediately and felt as if I had known her for years, she slipped right in to my family life with no awkwardness and assisted with things that took the weight off of my feet, I am forever grateful for her services as she made the transition of pregnancy to being a mother to my beautiful little angel a breeze. I do highly recommend Callie and will have her around for the next little ones.
Thank you Callie".  Vicky

"Callie was present for the birth of all four of my children, firstly because I wanted her there, but more importantly for the support and strength she gave during my labours.
With the birth of my latest son Leo, her reassurance and encouragement helped me tremendously with controlling my contractions and keep me focused with my breathing.
She exuberates an incredible sense of calm and warmth which helped keep me relaxed and in control. Therefore I was able to enjoy my birth experience. It was an amazing and even beautiful birth. I feel I could not have done it as well without her.”  Alex Beer

"I first heard of Doulas with my first child through a friend. As I have no family nearby I decided to search the DUK website where I found Callie. She fulfilled my expectations and exceeded them! I would recommend having a Doula to other women".   Sarah

"I have never worked with a Doula before so I do not have anything to compare with, but I thought you were very helpful and friendly to them and to me. I believed your client needed a lot of support and it was good to have you, as you gave her the kind of support she needed with your sympathy and calmness. You were very good with the massage and I could see she enjoyed it". Midwife Maria-Luisa Chacon

"It was wonderful having Callie's support. She massaged me when required, made sure I was hydrated, also checked that my husband was also ok. She made the birthing process manageable from home". Deborah Walker

"It was great to have Callie to talk everything through with in advance, especially as we planned a home birth.
For my husband, knowing that we would have support prior to the arrival of a midwife was very reassurring".
Callie was a very calming presence throughout, and I'm sure my husband appreciated the 'back up'! Emma Thomas

"Callie is a positive, helpful, happy, reassuring and very supportive person. She boosted confidence in myself and in my abilities to nurture my babies and nurture myself. She also helped around the house so I was able to rest more easily. A great credit to the world of Doula'ing".   Sam Belcher

“I knew I could take a break when I needed to and not worry, as Callie was there supporting my wife, I would definitely hire a Doula again!”     Steven Thomas 

"Callie was perfect for me for I knew she was experienced. She was bubbly and great with baby and my toddler. I would highly recommend her". Carrie

"Your touch, your massage was like the tens machine, it really helped with my labour". Rana
