Parenting coach and postnatal doula based in Frome, Somerset.
I’m Alice, a parenting coach and postnatal doula based in Frome, Somerset. With over 18 years of experience, I’m here to support you on your parenting journey, offering compassionate, personalised guidance to families. Both in person across Somerset, Wiltshire, and Bath or online for families further afield. Whether you’re navigating the early days of parenthood or tackling specific challenges, I’ll walk alongside you every step of the way.
As a mum to two amazing kids, I truly understand the ups and downs of family life. My professional background includes working with nurseries and vulnerable families, earning Early Years Professional Status, and completing a postgraduate certificate in child development. I’ve also created community groups like Baby Café and Baby Connections and trained as a sling peer supporter, breastfeeding peer supporter, and holistic sleep coach.
Through my MA research on motherhood, I’ve come to appreciate how guilt and self-doubt can weigh on parents. As a fully qualified post-natal doula, I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing space for you to build confidence and embrace the joy of parenting.
My approach blends practical advice with empathy and understanding, always tailored to your unique family. Together, we’ll uncover what works best for you, leaving behind the pressure of perfection and finding ease, connection, and confidence.
