How Derbyshire Doula Started.
Derbyshire Doula was born after I struggled with PTSD and PND during the pregnancy and postnatal period of my youngest. I was under the care of the brilliant perinatal team who supported me through my recovery process.
After being discharged, the world seemed noticeably big and lonely and so I formed a local support group of mums who could come together and talk openly about mental health in pregnancy. I would often open my home to mums who needed a safe place. This quickly grew and sensing the need of more support for my community I left my job and retrained as a doula and in 2019 Derbyshire Doula was born.

The logo that I use is made of the handprints of my daughter that I struggled to bond with. She is such an inspiration for me and continues to be. Our journey together is proof that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
My aims are to solve the issues of: - The lack of in-depth knowledge provided to pregnant parents. - The lack of emotional support that can be provided to parents. - Mum becoming rushed and just another figure. - Changing the face of mental health within pregnancy. -Supporting families in finding an approach that fits them. -Providing families with legal knowledge and empowerment regarding maternity. |

My name is Imogen Zybert, I am 32 years young and I have two children. For the past year I have been supporting families in the community by offering pregnancy and birth related guidance. This has developed in running my own non-profit organisation that brings parents from all backgrounds that are dealing and living with mental illness whilst juggling parenthood. Becoming a doula felt like the natural next step for me to take and I love this adventure.

I have completed my CBT practitioners certificate that allows me to bring a CBT approach to the work I do. I also am fully DBS checked and have training in baby loss and coping with grief. This year I have trained in reflexology and run sessions with families teaching the different pressure points that could be used to relieve stress and labour pains.
Also, this year I was awarded the high peak hero award for providing pregnancy support during Covid-19.
I will be offering pre and post-natal support throughout your pregnancy. This will take place primarily within the family home environment.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
