'Bonnie was always there, supporting me at every step along the way'.
Hello! I’m Bonnie, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I live in the heart of North Norfolk with my husband, two children, and two cats, in the community in which I grew up. The landscape and people here hold a special place in my heart, and I feel deeply connected to both.
Through my own profound experiences, including the death of my mother in my early 20's, and the births of my children, as well as conversations with countless others about their journeys, I have learnt so much about the monumental impact that birth, grief, and motherhood can have—not only on individuals but also on families and future generations.
My journey into this work is built on a deep desire to help others. After training as a Speech and Language Therapist, I spent many years working in the medical setting, where I learned valuable skills in communication, team work, advocacy, and holding space for difficult conversations. While I found great satisfaction in my work, I became frustrated by the limitations of a system that couldn’t meet the full spectrum of people’s needs.
Becoming a Doula wasn’t something I planned, it happened naturally. I found myself offering support to friends and family during birth and death, sitting with them in moments of joy, sorrow, and everything in between. I learned that healing can come from simply being heard, cared for and respected. Birth and death, though intense, can be profound, peaceful, and even beautiful, when approached with care, sensitivity and reverence.
Two years after leaving my permanent NHS position my Doula business thrives and I’m often booked well in advance. If you’d like to discuss how I can support you, please book a discovery call.
I bring a calm, grounding, and reassuring presence, and I’m proud to build a deep trust with the families I work with. My priority is always to respect your individual needs, values, and desires.
As your Doula, it is my honor to hold space for you during these tender moments, to support you to feel at the center of your experience, and confident in your decisions. You deserve a safe space to process it all; your hopes, fears, dreams, and worries, without judgment or reservation.
I’m here to support you, helping you navigate these moments on your terms, with love, care, and respect.
At Norfolk Doulas, we believe in providing individually tailored support for pregnant people and their families. We think that everyone should have a doula and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to find the right one for you. We are a group of self-employed doulas working as a collective. We are incredibly supportive of each other and know that there is a doula for every woman.
