Birth and Postnatal doula
Hypnobirthing facilitator and antenatal educator
Breastfeeding specialist - International Board Certified Lactation Consultant
Thea Anderson
Hello, I'm Thea. A passionate birthworker and breastfeeding specialist, a mum of two, a gardening enthusiast and an advocate for informed choice. I live in a village by the sea and work with families throughout the perinatal period across South East Kent.
I completed my doula course in 2022 with Aimee Hamblyn and Developing Doulas. I have been a volunteer Breastfeeding Counsellor with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers for many years and in 2021 I qualified as an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).
As a birth worker my desire is to support families to achieve the outcomes they desire. I strive to do this through both emotional and practical support. I share my knowledge gained through the experience of working with families, as well as signposting to resources and evidence based information. I provide education around informed consent and offer families continuity of care through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. My support can include antenatal education, a hypnobirthing course, specialist breastfeeding support, birth and breastfeeding debrief sessions, birth doula support and postnatal doula support in whatever form is needed.
I support all families through all birth choices. As your doula I want to help you to achieve the birth you desire, whatever decision that may mean for you.
If you'd be interested to find out more about how my support could be tailored to your needs, please do get in touch. I offer a free informal chat to see if you feel like we'd be suited to working together.
