Doula Services

  • Prenatal

    I start prenatal sessions with my clients from 25 weeks gestation. This involves 4 sessions at your home where we will explore:

    1. Reprogramming your mindset about birth: breathwork, physiology of birth, stages of birth, hypnobirthing 101, golden hour and skin to skin, birth positions and biomechanics of birth

    2. Know your options and advocacy: place of birth, comfort measures, interventions, knowing your rights, informed decision-making, role of birth partners

    3. Birth planning: Create plan A, B & C, role playing birth scenarios, exploring cultural traditions around pregnancy and birth

    4. Postnatal planning: baby feeding, baby wearing, perinatal mental health, perineal and pelvic care, signposting and connecting with local resources

    (Price included in birth support)

Where I work

I currently offer in person doula support across London, primarily in North, East, West and Central London. I am happy to offer virtual prenatal support to people based outside this area who are unable to find affirming support locally. Please enquire to find out whether I can provide you with in person support.

“I’m not sure if I want to hire a doula”

Our first meeting is free and allows you to find out more about what services I offer. During this conversation we will be able to see if we are a good fit for one another.

I'm keen to support queer, trans and Black and brown pregnant women and people at any stage of their family planning journey, including those considering IVF or IUI.
