Compassionate Care Throughout Your Motherhood Journey
Rooted in years of NHS nursing experience, The Womb Guardian embraces natural and authentic care to empower women through pregnancy, birth, and beyond with holistic support and meaningful traditions.
Rachel Coleman
Birth Doula & Nurse
I am Rachel Coleman now 48, living in the sleepy Suffolk village of Spexhall. A mother of 6 now very grown-up children (3 of my own & 3 bonus children by marriage) and Nanny of 2 wonderful grandchildren.
I love nature, the magic of the land, swimming, walking the dogs and paddleboarding.
My journey to where I am now has gifted me a wealth of knowledge and life experience through many years of working job roles within the NHS as a Nurse starting at 16 years of age, a Retained Firefighter, Hatha Yoga Teacher and Pregnancy and Postnatal Yoga specialist since 2013 and Closing of the Bones practitioner.
Why The Womb Guardian
I trained as a Birth and Postnatal Doula in Cambridge in 2018 with Developing Doulas and have attended many births over the years, both in home and hospital settings. Even when returning to the NHS during covid continued offer Antenatal Doula Support to women in my community.
My passion to support women and their wellbeing has grown and flourished over the last few years running Women’s Circles, offering the Closing of the Bones Massage, Womb Wellness therapies, as well as Teaching weekly Yoga classes & 121 Pregnancy Yoga in Suffolk.
It is important to me that you feel you are wholly supported & nurtured through your transitions in life. Women of old once supported each other in their own communities providing practical help, remedies, nourishment, nurturing, knowledge, guidance and love.
Today this still stands – For a woman to have someone beside her during Pregnancy, labour & birth is hugely beneficial to support her emotional, practical and spiritual needs during her labour, birthing and postnatal journey and as a Doula I can provide this trusted support to you.
As a Woman’s Witch I encourage connection and guardianship of your Womb. I wholly embrace nature’s sacredness and the importance of what our bodies yearn for. Your body knows it has a spiritual and energetic bond between your creative centre (womb) and the earth’s creative, life-giving energy. I bring these elements into all that I offer to those who seek my guidance, support, growth and harmony.
Walking beside you, “Being with Woman” through pregnancy, labour, birth, motherhood, life transitions, cycles, closure and renewal as you embody your innate feminine wisdom.
