I am a birth doula ✨
As I embark on this journey I’ve realised how many people don’t know what a doula does. A birth doula provides practical, emotional, physical, informative, evidence based support during pregnancy, birth and usually a postnatal visit to make sure you are okay. I get to know you and your birth partner and you share your birth preferences and how we can all work together to make YOU (the mum/pregnant woman) comfortable. I am there for the birthing person and their birth partner. To support you all so you have continuity of care from someone. To feel safe, nurtured and held. I am there for you ❤️
To walk with you, to rock with you, to bring you water, to sift your hips with my rebozo, to massage you, to do hypnobirthing with you, to cry with you, to be silent with you, to be near you, to be far from you, to hold your hand, to wait outside, to balance you, to just be with you. 🙏✨☺️
Based in Hertford, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas.
I cover Lister and Princess Alexandra hospitals.
Home births, birth centres, labour wards and caesareans. I am with you :) ❤️

"For my rainbow’s birth I hired Azeeta Nielsen to be my doula (I say hired but I think by the end of my pregnancy, labour and birth, she was probably a best friend!) The role of a doula is completely undervalued. They’re there to advocate, support and advise when needed, although I must say, my wonderful doula went above and beyond to ensure I had the best birthing experience I could have.
My hypnobirthing teacher and Azeeta often liaised with each other to ensure they were both singing from the same hymn sheet when it came to my care, both in pregnancy and during labour. Both were understanding of my mental health needs, which meant my doula was often available to chat at the drop of a hat. Having that support reduced my overall anxiety, and made my birthing environment calmer. It gave me the opportunity to heal from the trauma of two previously traumatic births, and quite frankly, I think my husband and I both needed Azeeta there to reassure us and advocate for us. The fact my doula was so in tune with me, and understood my history of loss helped give me such a positive experience. Thank you! "
"Having Azeeta as our doula was the best decision we made as new parents. Her warmth, attention to detail, and calm nature made her the perfect person to have at my baby’s birth. Azeeta’s evidence-based expertise, passion and support made every second of my pregnancy and labour feel like it was the most positive experience and this had a huge impact on how I felt immediately after birth and in those early days of motherhood. I felt happy, confident and empowered as a new mum. In the lead up to labour, the birth and the days that followed Azeeta felt like a member of the family. She will always have a very special place in our story. 5 stars just isn’t enough to convey what Azeeta has done for us."
