65. Tilly the Doula

65. Tilly the Doula

Author: Cait Hayes November 2, 2023 Duration: 33:36

Hi everyone!

Today I chat with Tilly, a nurse turned doula based in London. She has had quite a wild ride, from having a stroke at 19 and open heart surgery at 20. She also talks about her work in African maternity wards. All of these life experiences have helped her evolve into a truly nurturing doula.

Check out Tilly's website!

Cait Hayes hosts Birth Naturally, a space dedicated to honest conversations about the entire journey of bringing a child into the world without medical intervention. This podcast moves beyond simple birth stories to explore the physical, emotional, and practical realities of med-free birth and the life that follows. You'll hear from a variety of voices-people who are trying to conceive, those pregnant for the first time, and experienced parents-all sharing their unique perspectives and hard-won wisdom. The aim is to build a supportive community where information is exchanged freely, not to prescribe a single right way, but to illuminate the many paths available. Each episode delves into personal narratives and discussions meant to foster a sense of confidence and self-trust. Tuning in provides a sense of companionship, reminding you that you're not navigating these profound questions and experiences alone. For anyone curious about or committed to a natural birth process, this podcast serves as a valuable resource and a source of genuine empowerment, from pregnancy through the early years of parenting.
