Your words matter.
If you’ve got something to say and would like to contribute to The Doula’s Kitchen Blog, then I’d really love to hear from you. Sharing information, building communities and raising our voices to be heard is a very beautiful and necessary thing.

“Good Morning” from The Doula’s Kitchen table.
The Doula’s Kitchen concept is more than food, and a whole lot more than a cup of mindful tea - it’s about connection and community.
A Hypnobirthing Hurrah!
We LOVE introducing you to TCBS Instructors so please help us give a warm welcome to the wonderful Lizzie (The Doula’s Kitchen) who will be teaching the Calm Birth School method in Somerset❤️❤️❤️
My name is Lizzie.
A great pottery throw down.
What else do doulas do? Well this doula has wanted to throw a pot ever since she made a house out of clay at middle school. (That’s many years. Lots of them!)
Anna Stiles, potter extraordinaire and wonderful friend, lives locally to me in Dorset, and has a rather splendid workshop in the barn next to her rambling farmhouse.
Bone Broth Shots.
Why is a bone broth such a marvellous nutritional boost to our gut flora?
• Because meat stocks and broths are healing foods.
• Gelatin (from the joints and knuckles) is a leaky-gut healing superfood! It protects and heals the lining of the digestive tract and helps to regenerate cells.
• It’s also magic at helping digestion and the absorption of nutrients.
The Capricorn Moon and a Cup of Tea.
This new moon energy (which you may have begun to feel the effects of yesterday as a sort of quiet contemplation) helps us to define our goals in our career and personal progression.
It likes us to look at what we have released to make way for the new intentions we’ve set. This means that you might be revisited by what you’re letting go of just to make sure you’re letting go deeply.
Dear Lizzie and your ADHD brain,
My kitchen is full of children. All. Of. The. Time.
Dear Lizzie,
I just wanted to confirm that it really IS a big adjustment to facilitate home learning for a 12, 10 and 6 year old whilst you’re working.
It’s also ALL the feels for your ADHD Brilliant Brain (which only digs it’s heels in and waves frantically these days at times such as this) and this feels like a craving for deep hyper focus. That’s ok.
Recipe books; and other stories.
✨What are your favourites right now?
Currently, I’m all about Hemsley + Hemsley and Gather by Gill Meller.
The women who shape us; from every kitchen.
Every morning I look at this photo of my mother (on the right) and her sisters.
Sixteen years ago today, she died. It was sudden and she was just 47.
Her name was Annabel. She was wonderful.
✨Tales from the kitchen table.
It’s more than the food.
It’s about the sharing of skills; the watching and combining of ideas.
And it’s about the talking.
The discussion of current life and memories; the funny, the forgotten and the poignant.
