About Super Doula Bournemouth

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Tamsin — the heart behind Super Doula Bournemouth.
I’m a birth doula, passionate about protecting the health and wellbeing of you and your baby. Above all, I offer personalised support to help you trust your intuition and step into your power — through pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Outside of birth work, animals and the great outdoors are my happy place. Family adventures with my dogs and ponies fill my cup, and living by the sea near the New Forest feels like a dream come true. I also love coffee, cake, time with family and friends, and the occasional binge-worthy box set.

Alongside my doula work in Bournemouth, I volunteer as a breastfeeding peer supporter with Families and Babies (FAB) in and with Doulas Without Borders, supporting families who need it most.

Before becoming a doula, I worked as a teacher specialising in social, emotional, behavioural and communication difficulties. I supported young adults with diverse learning needs. Through that work, I learned something powerful: growth begins with safety.

When someone feels safe, their self-esteem strengthens.
When they feel heard, self-awareness deepens.
And from there, confidence and autonomy naturally grow.

This belief now guides everything I do — as a mother, wife, friend, daughter, auntie and doula.

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

Am I the Super Doula for you?

I’m a self-confessed birth nerd and energetic practitioner.
On one hand, I love diving into the science of physiological birth, the brilliance of mother nature, and medical insights. Knowledge matters. It gives you clarity. It gives you options.
On the other hand, I deeply believe that wisdom already lives within you.
So while I share evidence-based information, I also help you tune into your intuition — to trust your body and your baby. When knowledge and intuition work together, you can surrender to birth feeling informed and confident.

Knowledge is Power.
Wisdom is Freedom.

My Approach to Doula Support in Bournemouth

There is no one way — only your way.
Individualised Support
Firstly, I take time to truly get to know you — your hopes, fears, needs and desires. From there, I provide information and practical support that aligns with you. This isn’t a template. It’s personal.

Holistic Care: Birth isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual too. Because these layers are interconnected, I consider them all when supporting you and your baby.
Knowledge & Wisdom: I Birth isn’t just physical. It’s emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual too. Because these layers are interconnected, I consider them all when supporting you and your baby.
Supporting Birth Partners: If you have a birth partner, I support them too. After all, when they feel confident and reassured, the whole birth space shifts.
Creating Your Space: Finally, the environment in which you give birth — and adjust to your new family dynamic — matters deeply. I love helping you create a space that feels safe, peaceful and honoured. The right environment allows you to soften, open and feel held.
