Preparing you for a Better Birth

Doula of Belfast offers pregnancy and birth support around Northern Ireland

When you feel safe, loved and relaxed. Being surrounded with supportive people and given the freedom to do as you were designed to do, birth just works!

You’re going to remember your birth forever. Let me help you make it a beautiful memory.

Women remember their first childbirths so vividly, accurately and poignantly for at least 15-20 years. The long term satisfaction of these women was associated much more with HOW they recall being treated by their caregivers than whether their births were easy, difficult or complicated.

Labour & Birth Support

Birth is one of the most powerful, life-defining moments in a woman’s life. More than how she births, what truly matters is how she experiences her care and connection with her birth supporters. Women who feel supported and have positive birth experiences tend to transition more smoothly into early motherhood. Working with a doula throughout pregnancy helps build trust, preparation, and emotional support, contributing to better birth and postnatal outcomes.

Birth Trauma Rewind

If your birth unfolded in a way that left you feeling unheard, poorly treated, or disregarded, you’re not alone and your experience matters. The 3-Step Rewind technique offers a gentle, effective way to reframe and reduce the emotional impact of your birth story. By revisiting the memory in a safe, supported way, you can begin to release trauma that may be stored in the body, often showing up as disrupted sleep or eating patterns, low mood, skin issues, or persistent headaches.

I’m Nicola, founder of Doula of Belfast. I’m a birth companion supporting women in Greater Belfast through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I don’t work for the hospital—I work for you, guided by your choices, not policies.

Pregnancy and birth are life-changing. Whether you’re full of questions, facing fears, or just unsure of your options, you don’t have to navigate this alone.

Together we’ll explore birth plans, positions, comfort techniques, pain relief choices, and more. I offer emotional support and help you and your partner communicate clearly to get the care you need and deserve.

With consistent support and a trusted relationship, you can approach birth feeling safe, informed, and empowered.

Let’s chat! Book your free clarity call today.

....Nicola really went the extra mile, getting to know my partner and other children before the big day. On the day she was so respectful of our birth space and was calm and comforting and just exactly what I needed her to be....
