Jo Rogers

Hello, I'm Jo. I am a postnatal doula and breastfeeding counsellor dedicated to providing compassionate support for new parents navigating the journey of early parenthood. I live just outside Cambridge with my husband and twin girls. I specialise in breastfeeding support and spiritual health.

I became a doula quite naturally, after supporting numerous people through pregnancy in my role as a spiritual health mentor. I also found myself supporting friends emotionally in their transition into parenthood. Transitioning into a doula and breastfeeding counsellor was an intuitive next step for me, fuelled by the joy of witnessing families evolve and shift into their new shapes. I love walking with parents through this journey as they settle into their confidence in parenthood.

I provide emotional support, offering a compassionate ear and a reassuring presence during this transformative time. I offer information and guidance on infant feeding, signposting parents to relevant services if needed and sharing evidence based knowledge to help them to feed their baby with confidence in the way that best fits their family circumstances. Additionally, I can be there with practical ideas and encouragement as families adjust to their new roles. Understanding the nuances of normal infant behaviour is central to my approach and I aim to promote a deeper bond between parents and their baby at this tender time. Beyond this, I also consider spiritual and mental wellbeing an important part of fostering a nurturing environment that encompasses the holistic needs of the entire family.

I recognise the importance in providing compassionate support to fellow neurodivergent parents. With an understanding of their unique needs and challenges, I can help to ease the transition into parenthood. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and careful listening.

I’m here to support all families, however they may be built, every step of the way as they embrace the joys and challenges of early parenthood.
