founder of a Montessori nursery
foster carer 0-18 years
mother of 3, grandmother of 6
I’m Candy, a Doula in ME6, West Kent.
My Doula journey started a few years ago when my grandson at the age of three asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I found myself saying ‘midwife’. It really got me thinking – I knew it was a bit late to start such a medical profession, but when I coincidentally met some lovely Doulas it led me to Nurturing Birth Doula training where I found that I could still be a part of the miracle.
I offer practical and emotional support with your antenatal, birth and postnatal journey. I live near West Malling (West Kent) and I’m willing to travel up to an hour.
I have three sons and two stepchildren who are now in their 20s & 30s with 6 grandchildren between them.
I have many years supporting children and families, having opened and run my own Montessori nursery between 1998-2015. Since 2016 I have been a foster carer for Kent County Council, caring for children from 0 to18 years old, recently caring only for babies and Under 5's.
Underpinning all my work is my many years practicing compassionate communication (NVC Marshall Rosenberg) which has taught me to focusing on listening, empathy and being curious: “what I can do to make life more wonderful for you”
I would love to bring my training and compassion to support your experience to be wonderful for you.
I can offer flexible rates.
