Welcome
My name is Caron Smith and I am the proud mother of three young adults, living together with our boxer puppy in Essex. I originally qualified as a midwife, having trained at Kings College University and previously worked at St Thomas' Hospital, London.
However for more than ten years now I have offered my services as a Doula, supporting over 200 families to date. In this role - whilst I no longer provide any clinical care - I am delighted to be able to utilise my extensive experience and my absolute passion. I feel honoured to be able to offer individualised practical and emotional support through pregnancy, birth and those irreplaceable first days and weeks as families learn to care for and bond with their precious new arrival (s), and settle into their new identities as parents.
My Services
I am able to offer a complete birth support package, postnatal only packages or a combination of both. I also offer private birth/parenthood preparation sessions for clients who haven't found or prefer not to attend group classes. Please click on the links below to find out more:
Caron is so well informed and knowledgeable in her field. She helped me with almost every aspect of pregnancy and planning my ideal birth. She was not only a huge emotional support but also supported us both in a very practical way . I trust her completely. She made things a lot easier for my partner - giving him the confidence he was lacking before we met her. (N&S)
Words cannot express our gratitude. Your support before and during the birth of our baby was phenomenal. You were patient, kind, understanding, unobtrusive, consider, funny and extremely supportive. Having you support us during the birth was priceless. I truly believe that every woman should have a doula ...."
Informative, supportive, caring; these three words spring to mind when thinking of Caron and the support she has provided us with. Thanks to Caron we had an empowering birth experience that had a positive impact on our family and my life in particular. What a welcome change it was from our first birth experience (E.S)
