Becky Lloyd
Hi I’m Becky,
I am a birth and postnatal doula in Cornwall with more than 17 years of experience. I am also a breastfeeding counsellor. I am training to be a reiki practitioner and am a Closing the Bones therapist.
I hold mother blessings/ baby blessing ceremonies and coming of age ceremonies for young adolescent women. I also do menopause coaching.
I am inclusive and happy working with the LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse communities.
I am not a midwife, nor am I medically trained but I have a vast bank of medical knowledge after 17 years of working as a doula.
What is a doula?
A doula offers emotional and practical support to a woman and her family, before, during and after birth.
Doula comes from Greek and means ‘handmaiden.’
Advantages of having a doula
There is evidence to show that having a doula can mean:
- Reduced risk of caesarean birth
- Reduced risk of instrumental birth
- Reduced need for painkillers or epidural during birth
- Reduced rate of induction of labour
- Shorter labour
- Increased parental satisfaction with the birth experience
- Increased likelihood of initiating breastfeeding
- Increased likelihood of successfully establishing breastfeeding & breastfeeding at 6 weeks
- Enables fathers/partners to participate with confidence

I wish the role of doulas was more well known, if they make such a difference as Rebecca did for me.
