MY SERVICES
BIRTH DOULA
Birth your baby knowing you will be truly supported throughout your birth experience. In preparation for birth, you’ll access and develop your birthing ethos to inform choices pregnancy & birth may present to you. During birth I'll be tuned into both you and your partner, to provide emotional and practical support, a continuous friendly presence. Choose from a range of Birth Doula packages.
POSTNATAL DOULA
As you get to know your baby, I offer guidance, empathy, encouragement and an extra pair of hands. I care you, your family and your home with a reassuring, kind presence. I provide support to ease your pathway through the love-fulled months after birth, a time of connection, recovery and finding a new rhythm. Explore more about Postnatal Doula Support.

ABOUT CARA JORDAN
Motherhood wakened my questioning mind, which set me on a beautiful journey, in 2018 I became a Birth & Postnatal doula. I support families across West London, Maidenhead, Reading and surrounding areas.
For millennia, humans have lived in close communities with extended family and neighbours. In these communities we would have heard, seen and even supported birth before our own birth experience. Similarly in caring for infants, we would have seen people caring for babies in close proximity, spent time with babies and cared for them before having our own. Increasingly over the last 100 years, we live in a nuclear family structure, with less chance of gaining lived experience, acquiring skills and the support that is afforded by a close community. This can be felt quite acutely when we start our own families. I see the role of a Doula and Night Nanny as easing this lost experience and community.
What’s it like to work with you?
You’ll feel listened to, understood and supported. You’ll find me reliable, friendly, responsive and straightforward. The support will be unobtrusive: gentle guidance, words of encouragement, making sure you have eaten or an offer of a helping hand. I’ll both follow your requests and use my initiative. My clients testimonials say it best, Birth Testimonials and Postnatal Testimonials.
BIRTH DOULA TESTIMONIAL
“Cara has a gentle, empathetic and nurturing spirit about her. She cares deeply and her passion for birth comes across quickly. She would always respond promptly and would go above and beyond to answer any questions or meet any information gaps I had. She’s also an excellent educator with very helpful resources. Cara asked great questions to facilitate understanding and to align expectations. I never felt like I couldn’t be “me” with her. I think because the 3 of us connected so well before birth, I was able to “shut off” and let the 2 of them navigate supporting me. I felt safe to ask for what I wanted and communicate what I didn’t want. I truly felt carried by them and like they had my back. My husband felt hugely supported by her as well. This was one of my biggest desires for labor - that he would feel empowered, respected and supported so that me and him could have a connecting experience around the delivery of our child.” R.K.
My partner is concerned they might feel marginalised by having support?
My intention is to hold a couple, a family, connected to each other in the centre, with me providing a cushioning layer on the outside. At such a life affirming time, you experiencing this as a couple, being present for one another, your baby and to the experience means so much. My support fills in gaps, is an extra pair of hands, is guided by you & understands you as people. My clients’ report feeling that they were both supported, that there was someone else they could both rely on when needed.
