About Me

My names Emma Harrison and I live in Ayrshire with my two children.

I first became interested in birth after the birth of my son and being a birthing partner
Both my births were very different in that my second birth was natural and I couldn't believe that by making simple informed choices you could totally change the way your child is born.
Soon after having my son, I joined the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) where I became branch secretary then moved on to a regional committee position.

I started antenatal training with the NCT in June 2006 and will be teaching by early 2009.
For the past 3 years I have been working as a nursing auxiliary in a mother and baby unit. My duties there include providing new mothers with emotional support and also help care for their babies by assisting with bathing, feeding, settling babies and encouraging routine. I have also been present at 2 births. This position is what prepared me for becoming a doula.

I have been been disclosure Scotland checked (enhanced)

I have attended various study days and conferences relating to pregnancy and birth and as well as other days such as Food Hygiene, Moving and Handling, smoking cessation (certificates available on request)
