Doula Support in West Cornwall

I'm Evony Lynch. Before I became a doula, I spent more than two decades as a midwife, attending hundreds of births - homebirths, water births, VBACs, physiological third stages, and everything in between.

I'm based near Penzance and offer doula support to families across West Cornwall - Penzance, St Just, Hayle, St Ives, Newlyn, Mousehole, Marazion, and the wider West Penwith peninsula. I also offer full virtual support for families further afield.

That clinical background doesn't just inform how I support you. It means I understand birth at a deeper level. I know what undisturbed birth looks, sounds, and feels like. I know the hormones that make it possible. And I know what gets in the way — and what doesn't have to.

THE SUPPORT PACKAGE

What's included in your Cornwall doula package

Every element of my support is designed to build something specific: a woman who knows her body, understands her options, and trusts herself to make decisions - before, during, and after birth.

  • We meet regularly in your home, building our relationship and your knowledge as your pregnancy unfolds. This is full birth preparation, tailored to you, your previous experiences and your intentions for this upcoming birth.

  • An experienced ear and encouraging voice throughout your pregnancy - not just in sessions. I can answer questions, signpost you to the best resources. If you need me as extra support I will come to appointments with you.

  • When labour begins, I'm there at the end of a WhatsApp. Talking to you and your partner so that I can come to support you when you need it. A calm, experienced presence who knows you, knows birth deeply, and knows how to hold space for both.

  • We explore what you've absorbed about birth - from your own experience, family, friends, and society - and gently work through anything that needs releasing, including previous births. This is especially important if you’ve had a previous traumatic birth and want this to be different and healing for you.

  • You'll understand how your body and baby prepare for labour and birth - the hormones, the process, what supports it and what suppresses it. Knowledge that builds confidence in yourself and your choices.

  • Embodied, practical preparation - how to move with your body in labour, how to recognise when labour is back to back, what your instincts are telling you, and how to work with them rather than against them. Plus how your partner can actively support you throughout labour.

My Support Package

  • Lauren, Homebirth, Second Baby

    I truly cannot express how much Evony positively helped my pregnant and birthing mind. She was with me throughout pregnancy to talk to and when it came to my beautiful birth, I couldn't have asked for a more incredible experience with her by my side. You are an amazing birthkeeper!

  • Alex, Home VBAC, Third Baby

    I will literally be grateful to you for the rest of my life Ev. Your work is so important.

  • Hannah, independent midwifery client, homebirth.

    Words can never sum up the positive emotional impact Evony has had on our lives. I hired Evony as a private midwife and had a beautiful healing homebirth after a traumatic second birth. Birth is such a vulnerable time but with right care can be a truly empowering experience. Me and my family will be forever grateful for the care Evony provided. She is worth her weight in gold!

  • Becca, Homebirth, First Baby

    I am so grateful to have found Evony and to have had her alongside my pregnancy and birth journey. It was an absolute game changer. The birth prep we did together instilled a real trust in my body and my baby. We worked on navigating my feelings around the process of birth & unpicked any fears. Evony supported me to explore my feelings when presented with challenges such as growth scans. To have her calming presence there with us on the day our baby was born at home was invaluable. I would highly recommend to every expecting couple.

  • Kimberley, Planned Freebirth, Fifth Baby

    I now know my place in the Universe.

  • Georgia, Planned Homebirth → Caesarean

    Having Evony by our side during pregnancy, birth and beyond was a truly transformative experience! After every session through pregnancy, I felt empowered and excited for birth, able to truly lean into my intuition and trust my body and baby. Despite our birth not going the way we’d hoped, having Evony with us for every step, guiding us through, brought calm and confidence to the moments of the unknown. I am endlessly grateful for Evony’s support, a true fountain of knowledge and wisdom! Having Evony as your doula, will be the best investment of your pregnancy journey!
