As-salaam 'alykum,
I’m Sophie, an Irish birth and postpartum Doula supporting families across Bahrain, Al Khobar and Dammam. I wanted to become a Doula after seeing friends experience just how challenging pregnancy, birth and those first weeks with a baby can be. While everyone celebrates the arrival of the baby, I realised the mother needs someone to celebrate and support her too.
Having lived in Bahrain for nine years, I understand that every family comes to birth with different cultures, expectations and support networks. My role is to help you feel informed, calm and confident, whatever your birth looks like. I trained with Conscious Birthing through its Doula UK-approved programme and continue to develop my practice through mentorship with its Founder, Kate Woods.
Together, we can explore your birth preferences, practise practical comfort techniques and help your birth partner feel confident - from hip squeezes and affirmations to using the TENS machine. And when your baby arrives, the support doesn’t have to stop. The Fourth Trimester can be a beautiful but vulnerable time as you heal, adjust and find your rhythm.
However your journey unfolds, I’m here to help you feel supported, cared for and a little less alone. Please feel free to contact me via email, phone or Instagram or alternatively book a free 30 minute call through my calendar.
