A few things people have said...
"Janine is a friendly and capable post natal doula who offered support during a difficult time, about four months after my daughter was born. Janine provided practical assistance with my baby and undertook household chores with a great deal of care. She also took time to listen to my personal concerns and was very understanding. Janine has an easy and approachable manner which sets the tone for the day and makes motherhood more manageable." New Mum, Battersea
"We met a few doulas and on meeting Janine she made us feel very relaxed - she has a very flexible, open, non-judgemental style. She was especially great to talk to about baby related matters, a great listener; as well as being very useful in a practical sense around the house and in particular the kitchen. She is very personable and I would recommend her highly" Charlotte, London
"I've only known Janine postnatally, but she has been absolutely wonderful and I've really enjoyed having her here. I love that she's so easygoing, cheerful and has an amazing ability to calm my baby :-)
We've only just moved to the UK and so don't have a network of friends/family to help. Thankfully Janine stepped in... I can only describe her as my saviour! She made sure I was fed and took care of my baby so that I could take care of myself. From the first day she just knew what to do without me having to ask.
THANK YOU Janine - from the bottom of my heart!! It's been so great having you here this week to keep things in top shape (including me!). You have such a wonderful way with my son and I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your company and your help." Kristi, Teddington

"I felt very pleased when we found a doula to help us, it was great to know that there would be someone with my partner to provide some help and support. My only regret is that we didn't employ Janine earlier, as on reflection we really did struggle in the early days of parenthood. I think we thought it would be expensive, but it wasn't and was worth every penny. Thank you Janine" New Dad, Kingston
"One thing I really appreciated about Janine was that when I asked for advice e.g. on routine, she asked a lot of questions about my views and what I felt worked with the baby – she did not just give her own personal opinion of what was best, but tried to suggest things that fitted with my own approach or built on my own experience. I think this was really helpful to build my confidence and help me develop my own style of parenting." New Mum, North Kingston
"I interviewed about 8 birth doulas and Janine appealed most to me; she really listened to what I was looking for and we had an easy rapport. Janine is a very calm and attentive doula, who really listens to what you are looking for in a birth partner and from the birth. I found her particularly sensitive and understanding as I went through the process of deciding what sort of birth I wanted. I can't imagine not having a doula to support me." Angela, Woking, Surrey
"I wanted a female presence at the birth who was knowledgeable in giving birth and being pregnant. I also wanted a calm and peaceful birth environment - looking after lighting, oils, and practical matters. Janine provided all of this for us and played a key role in allowing us to have the birth that we wanted. Janine is really warm and exudes confidence and calmness -it was clear she would be the perfect person to support us with our homebirth." Bethan, Esher
