Who we are – Nurturing Birth

Danielle is well known in her community for the pregnancy and parenthood socials she organises. She qualified as an antenatal & aquanatal teacher in 2018 and then studied infant massage. Her classes run weekly at a beautiful studio in her home town.

She lives in a small village on the coast of South Wales with her husband, two boys and family dogs. You will usually find her reading, enjoying nature, swimming, dancing or laughing. She is a real people person, compassionate and caring, with a crazy sense of humour!

Since then she’s gone on to mentor new doulas, become an infant massage teacher, train as a KG Hypnobirthing Instructor and take numerous other workshops that have sparked her interest. For a few years she hosted a local group for new parents to connect. Her love of women and people that birth have meant that doula work is always at the core of what she does.

Sam became involved with Mindful Doulas and was grateful to take the business on herself but swiftly realised the need for a team around her so was delighted to be asked to join the Nurturing Birth family at the end of 2019.

Supporting those that feel drawn to support, and in turn be supported themselves, to find community and a ‘village’ is at the heart of what she is driven to do. She is a keen advocate of mental health and wellbeing. Sam is unapologetically known as The Unapologetic Doula – she is passionate about people being true to themselves and hopes people will embrace all that they are.

With two teenagers, a husband, cat and dog to juggle along with doula life Sam’s all for looking out for her own wellbeing, so as downtime you’ll either find her by the beach, baking, listening to music or riding her motorbike … and getting a little addicted to tattoos!
