About Supported Birth
Supported birth is the working name of Gina Cox-Roberts, a doula and Natal Hypnotherapy practitioner based in Shropshire and covering Shropshire, the Black Country and border region.
I firmly believe that every woman can have a magical and beautiful birth experience. As a doula, I work with mothers and their partners providing support, information and empowerment before, during and after labour and birth.
Research has shown that a constant supportive presence throughout labour results in:
From 'Mothering the Mother' by Klaus, Kennell, and Klaus (1993).
I am a member of Doula UK, and I have completed Nurturing Birth's Doula Training. I also practice Indian Head Massage and Reiki. I believe that every woman should have access to a doula should she want one, and will take on clients on low incomes with the support of the Doula UK Hardship Fund.
With Natal Hypnotherapy, I teach courses to expectant couples so that they can use hypnosis themselves for pain management, release from anxieties and increased confidence in their birth.
I will work respectfully, honestly and without prejudice with any expectant mother or partnership, regardless of race, nationality, religious belief, sexuality, age or disability and I abide by the Doula UK code of practice.
I have full liability insurance and an up-to-date Enhanced CRB Disclosure certificate.
