Donna McParland

Donna is a perinatal practitioner and doula which she re-trained in after her children were born, and following a background in IT support and service management.

She first became aware of Brilliant Beginnings in 2021 when she was back up doula support for a Brilliant Beginnings Surrogate, she was impressed by the support the doula had from Brilliant Beginnings.

Donna’s role is to support the Surrogate and Client Managers with administration and information to allow them to provide exceptional support to Brilliant Beginnings Surrogates and Intended Parents.

She brings with her experience and knowledge from the work she does outside her Brilliant Beginnings role where she works with families through pregnancy birth and the postnatal period in many capacities; such as doula support, birth trauma support, postnatal recovery massage, babywearing and sling/carrier support, baby massage, and facilitating antenatal and postnatal courses.
