About Us
Liffey Doulas was formed by Jenny Smee and Bernie Creaner when their long standing friendship and mutual passion for helping others brought them both to follow the career of a Doula. They feel that new parents will find their way with confidence when they are encouraged to listen to themselves and get to know their baby on their own terms. They will be with you every step of this journey, offering gentle reassurance, helping you build confidence, resilience and sharing their years of experience with you while you adjust to pregnancy & parenthood.

Bernie Creaner
Birth & Postpartum Doula
GentleBirth Instructor
Bernie found GentleBirth during her second pregnancy and it completely changed how she felt about birth, transforming from fear, anxiety to confidence and excitement. She trained as a GentleBirth Instructor shortly after the birth of her daughter and has shared the benefits of Brain Training for Birth with many parents over the past three years. She has since trained as a Birth and Postpartum Doula and she has seen first-hand the change in her clients and their partners when they are supported in their choices and prepared for their birth.
Bernie believes that, when pregnant people and their partners feel empowered to make decisions about their birth, they step into parenthood feeling confident and secure, no matter what path that may take. She feels it is an honour to be a small part of this journey with any new family and loves working on a one-to-one basis with her doula clients.
Bernie completed training with Tracy Donegan - GentleBirth Instructor and DONA Birth Doula, she also trained with ProDoula as a Postpartum Doula and has attended many workshops to continue her learning and professional development.
She is one of the organisers of the Irish Positive Birth Conference.
Bernie lives in North Kildare with her two children and their dog Jessie.
