Today, Samantha and I talk about what is and isn't in the remit of a doula and how this is often misinterpreted or misunderstood by healthcare professionals.

Becki Scott is a doula and holistic therapist living and working in Northamptonshire - you can find out more about her here

Samantha Gadsden is a doula in South Wales - you can find out more about her on her website here. Samantha runs the national Home Birth Support Group UK on Facebook. She has also set up a paid Facebook group (Freebirth And Emergency Childbirth Support Group UK) specifically for those people considering freebirth or looking for resources when a baby is likely to be BBA (born before arrival).
