POSTNATAL & NIGHT NANNY TESTIMONIAL
“Cara…. stepped into our world with such warmth & treated our son as if he were her own. She made me feel completely safe and supported. I trusted her implicitly—she always seemed to know exactly what I needed or what my son needed, often without me saying a word….” G.C.
ABOUT CARA JORDAN
Motherhood wakened my questioning mind, which set me on a beautiful journey, in 2018 I became a Birth & Postnatal doula in London. I support families across London and the South East.
For millennia, humans have lived in close communities with family, extended family and neighbours. In these communities we would have heard, seen and even supported birth before our own birth experience. Similarly in caring for infants, we would have seen people caring for babies in close proximity, spent time with babies and cared for them before having our own. Increasingly over the last 100 years, we live in a nuclear family structure, with less chance of gaining lived experience and a natural acquisition of skills. This can be felt quite acutely when we start our own families. I see the role of a Doula and Night Nanny as easing this lost experience and community.

BIRTH DOULA TESTIMONIAL
“Cara has a gentle, empathetic and nurturing spirit about her. She cares deeply and her passion for birth comes across quickly. She would always respond promptly and would go above and beyond to answer any questions or meet any information gaps I had. She’s also an excellent educator with very helpful resources. Cara asked great questions to facilitate understanding and to align expectations. I never felt like I couldn’t be “me” with her. I think because the 3 of us connected so well before birth, I was able to “shut off” and let the 2 of them navigate supporting me. I felt safe to ask for what I wanted and communicate what I didn’t want. I truly felt carried by them and like they had my back. My husband felt hugely supported by her as well. This was one of my biggest desires for labor - that he would feel empowered, respected and supported so that me and him could have a connecting experience around the delivery of our child.” R.K.

At such a life affirming time, you experiencing this as a couple, whilst being present for one another, your baby and to the experience means so much. My intention is to hold a couple, a family, connected to each other in the centre, with me providing a cushioning layer on the outside. My support fills in gaps, is an extra pair of hands, is guided by you & understands you as people.
