We have opened our first dedicated Doula Cafe space in Accrington Arndale Centre, Lancashire. This space is dedicated for expectant and new parents to gather for support, whether through our groups or drop in clinics with our Doulas or feeding support specialists.
Our Doula Cafe ™️ model is available, with our support, to branch across the country with our training and mentoring.
