Experienced, independent virtual doula support across the UK.
Pregnancy isn't always straightforward, and you shouldn't have to navigate it feeling unheard, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn.
Whether you're preparing for your first birth, facing complicated decisions, navigating maternity appointments or approaching birth after a difficult experience, you deserve support that recognises you as a whole person.
I'm Allison Tate. I've been supporting families through pregnancy, birth and loss since 2013, offering honest conversations, practical guidance and trauma-aware companionship without a predetermined agenda for your birth.
Your experience. Your choices. Your path.
There's more to pregnancy than preparing for birth.
There's the excitement, the uncertainty, the questions that come to you at 2am, the appointments, the decisions and sometimes the unexpected turns that change everything.
Perhaps you're looking forward to birth but want to feel more prepared. Maybe you're navigating additional care, weighing up your options, making sense of a previous experience or finding that everyone seems to have an opinion about what you should do.
And sometimes, you simply want a conversation where you don't have to explain away your feelings, justify your decisions or fit your experience into somebody else's idea of pregnancy and birth.
You don't need to be struggling to deserve support. And you don't need to have everything figured out before asking for it.
Whatever your circumstances, there's room for the whole of your experience here.
MY VIRTUAL PACKAGES
HALF MOON
£400 | Virtual Pregnancy Companionship
A little more space, a little more support, entirely on your terms.
Half Moon is for those who would like someone alongside them during pregnancy without needing comprehensive or birth-day companionship.
Whether you're finding your feet in a new pregnancy, navigating appointments, exploring birth preferences or simply wanting a familiar person to return to as questions arise, Half Moon offers an opportunity to build a supportive relationship over time.
This might be for you if…
You're looking for ongoing pregnancy support, value having someone independent to talk things through with, and would like continuity without committing to a more extensive package.
£900 | Extended Virtual Pregnancy Companionship
More time, more continuity, more room for everything pregnancy brings.
Full Moon offers a deeper level of ongoing support for those who want a consistent companion throughout pregnancy and birth preparation.
From exploring your options and preparing for maternity appointments to reflecting on previous experiences, navigating changes and making space for the unexpected, this package allows us to develop a more established relationship as your pregnancy progresses.
This might be for you if…
You'd like more regular contact, have several areas of pregnancy or birth preparation you want to explore, or value having an established, independent source of support as your circumstances evolve.
£1,800 | Virtual Pregnancy & Birth Companionship
A familiar presence through pregnancy, preparation and birth.
Artemis is my most comprehensive companionship package, bringing together ongoing pregnancy support, birth preparation and virtual companionship during labour and birth.
It's designed for those who want to develop a strong, familiar relationship with their birth companion before labour begins, with time to explore their experiences, preferences, questions and the practicalities of how support will work when birth arrives.
Whether you're planning a hospital birth, homebirth, induction or caesarean, the focus remains on your circumstances rather than a particular type of birth.
This might be for you if…
You want continuity from pregnancy through to birth, value having someone familiar available for virtual labour companionship, and would prefer a more comprehensive level of support.
FULL MOON
ARTEMIS
Hello, I'm Allison.
Birth companion, advocate, and someone who knows that pregnancy and birth are rarely as simple as they're made out to be.
I've been supporting families through pregnancy, birth and loss since 2013, following 14 years working as an occupational therapist.
My experience spans different healthcare systems, birth settings and circumstances, from straightforward pregnancies to complex maternity care, premature birth, NICU experiences and pregnancy loss.
Some of these experiences have shaped my life personally, too. They've influenced how I listen, how I approach difficult conversations and why I believe the person experiencing pregnancy should never become secondary to the decisions being made around them.
I bring professional experience, practical knowledge and a strong understanding of maternity rights and advocacy to my work, but I don't arrive with a preferred version of how your pregnancy or birth should unfold.
I'm here to listen, explore, question when appropriate and offer independent support that respects the realities of your life.
There's much more to my story, but what matters most is how I can support yours.
