Cally Edwards Doula

We took the NCT course in Feb 2022 when expecting our LG, best decision we could have made! We had Cally as our NCT teacher and instantly clicked with her straightforward, say it as it is personality and brilliant sense of humour. I would thoroughly recommend Cally as an antenatal teacher, - as my husband said in our first session what can you teach us that needs to take 6 sessions of 2.5 hours, we soon learnt how much we didnt know and from Cally helped to fill that knowledge gap to support our pregnancy journey. Through these sessions we were opened up to possibilities we hadnt considered, leading us to plan for a home water birth which we would never have even thought about prior to the course. During the NCT course we decided that we would love to hire Cally as our Doula, being our first baby, deciding on a home birth, we thought the additional support would be beneficial, and Cally was absolutely phenomenal with the support leading up to, during and after the birth of both myself and my husband. The NCT course also linked us in with an amazing group of people who we have become close friends with. Bonding over the late stages of pregnancy, celebrating the births, to late night messages of support and holding each other up, to catch ups full of love and laughter! All this with the additional ongoing support of Cally to the whole NCT group on our group WhatsApp, answering our questions and alleviating our concerns. I am so grateful to have all these wonderful people in my life, and without having done the NcT course, I wouldnt!

Everyone needs a Cally in their life! Cally was our birth Doula as we were forced to birth at hospital due to staff shortages. She was incredible at holding space for us and making sure our birth plan was respected. Weve now just finished her Intro to Solids and have gone from feeling overwhelmed to excited. We love Callys sense of humour and no BS approach.

I joined Cally for a range of (free) breastfeeding support via Zoom as well as a (paid) workshop on Introducing Solids. All her help is well researched and considerate. She's been so helpful and I'm sure there will be more help and support I'll be looking for and take to Cally's direction.

Every birth deserves a Cally Cally acted as our birth doula for our second birth, having met Cally when she saved our breastfeeding journey with our first! There is a wealth of knowledge inside this wonderful lady, which continues to be invaluable to any mother or couple she meets. We had a bit of a complicated pregnancy second time round, and Cally attended appointments with me, spoke to us any time we needed after a complicated consultant appointment, zoomed during midwife sessions, and supported me the entire way. Nothing is ever too much trouble, she was always available to us. Cally is informative, immensely supportive, empowering and has a wonderful energy that reassures you in any situation. After a footling breech baby, Cally held my hand through an emergency c-section on Christmas Day and I would absolutely not have had the same experience had she not been with me. Words cannot express how much this lady means to me and my family. It could have been a very different experience without her. Cally is humorous, caring and empathic. Every birth deserves a Cally, and if we ever do it again, booking her antenatal & post natal doula services will be the first thing on our to do list!
