Siobhan Smith is a Course Facilitator at the BirthBliss Academy, as well as the Head of Accreditation and a Doula Coach. She is a very experienced doula, having supported hundreds of births and navigated many new parents through those early days of parenthood. Siobhan works as a birth and postnatal doula, and trouble-shooting specialist and is an Expert by Experience at Hertfordshire University.

Siobhan is married to Paul and they have three teenagers and one crazy springer spaniel. She was born and raised in North London and comes from Irish parents, hence the name “Siobhan” pronounced Shiv-on. It's Gaelic, (Irish). Having an unusually spelt name often means she spends a lot of time explaining her name is not pronounced Si-o-ban.  

Life as a working mother is always busy but Siobhan thrives on that, and she loves spending time with her family and friends. Her hobbies include eating cake and exercising to work off the calories, although she feels she hasn’t managed to get the balance quite right on that.  Siobhan has been supporting families as a birth & and postnatal doula since 2011.
