Jilly Hodges
Doula
I work locally around Sotogrande and nearby coastal areas and only take a small amount of clients, allowing me to offer continuity, availability and personal care. My role is always non-medical and works alongside your chosen healthcare providers.
About me
I originally trained and worked as a midwife and state registered nurse in the UK, with extensive experience in postnatal care and supporting women through labour and birth. After moving away from clinical practice, i have continued to work closely with people in vulnerable moments through many years of voluntary work with the Samaritans in the UK, Gibraltar and Spain. I am currently the Head of training for Samaritans in Spain, teaching active listening and supporting people through Anxiety, distress and crises.
This combination of practical experience and emotional support allows me to offer a steady, reasurring presence at a time when many families- especially those living abroad will feel most anxious or isolated.
