They talk about Rachel’s real journey into becoming a doula. And it starts with something many parents quietly carry: a deep fear of giving birth (tocophobia).

You’ll hear about:

• What tocophobia is and how it can affect pregnancy
• How hypnobirthing helped Rachel feel calm and in control
• Why confidence and support can change the whole birth experience
• How a doula can help you feel heard in midwife and hospital appointments
• Asking questions without feeling “difficult”
• Birth trauma support and processing a previous difficult birth
• Making a flexible birth plan (Plan A, B, C, D) without fear
• Induction conversations, choices, and feeling informed
• Postnatal support, including night doula support and practical help at home

Rachel also explains the different ways parents can work with her, including in-person doula support and virtual antenatal and postnatal packages. She shares how coaching calls can help you understand your options, build a plan that feels right for you, and feel supported if things change on the day.

This episode can help you feel calmer, more prepared, and more confident. And it’s a lovely reminder that you deserve support, not just “get on with it”.
