About Super Doula Bournemouth

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Tamsin, the heart of Super Doula, Bournemouth.
I’m a birth and postnatal doula, passionate about advocating for the health and well-being of you and your baby. I offer personalised support to help you trust your intuition and step into your power—through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
Animals and the great outdoors are my happy place. Family adventures with my dogs and ponies bring me joy, and living by the sea and the New Forest feels like a dream come true. I also love coffee, cake, quality time with family and friends, and binge-watching a good box set!
I volunteer as a breastfeeding peer supporter for Families and Babies (FAB) and with Doulas Without Borders, providing support to those who need it most.
Before becoming a doula, I was a teacher specialising in social, emotional, behavioural, and communication difficulties, working with young adults with diverse learning needs. This taught me the importance of truly individualised support—starting with safety, self-esteem, self-awareness, and communication. From there, confidence and autonomy can grow. This philosophy guides me in all areas of my life—as a mother, friend, daughter, wife, auntie, and doula.

“Knowledge, you may get from books but wisdom is trapped within you, release it.”

Am I the Super Doula for you?

As a total birth nerd and energetic practitioner, I weave together the knowledge of physiological birth, the brilliance of mother nature, and medical insights to help you make informed choices. At the same time, I support you in tuning into your own deep wisdom—trusting your body and your baby—so you can surrender with confidence, knowing you will instinctively know what is right for you
Knowledge is Power. Wisdom is Freedom

MY APPROACH

Individualising support is a real passion of mine!! By getting to know you, being present, and listening to your hopes, fears, needs and wants I will provide you with information so you can make empowered choices, as well as being able to provide the practical support you need that aligns with you.

Holistic Care: I believe in protecting the spiritual, energetic, mental, and emotional wellbeing of you and your baby, while also considering the physical aspects. All these elements are interconnected and play a crucial role in your birthing experience.
Knowledge & Wisdom: I am a Microbirth Approved Provider and have training in Birth Biomechanics, Birth Mapping, and Access Bars. This means I bring both cutting-edge knowledge and intuitive wisdom to support your journey.
Supporting Birth Partners: If you have a birth partner, I support them too, ensuring they feel confident and reassured throughout this monumental journey.
Creating Your Space: The space where you give birth and adjust to the new family dynamic has a significant impact on your experience. I get super excited about helping you create a safe, peaceful, and honoured place that is just right for you and your baby.

There is no one way, just your way!!
