Birth & postnatal doula support
Holding space for your unique path into parenthood
Based in Lewisham and working across London and parts of Kent, I offer birth and postnatal doula support for all kinds of families — especially those who might not always see themselves reflected in mainstream maternity care. I bring calm, culturally aware, intuitive support that centres you — your values, your voice, and the experience that you’re creating as you welcome new life. Whether you’re part of a mixed-ethnicity family or ‘chosen family’, someone who’s deeply connected to the world around you, or drawn to your own sense of spiritual grounding — you’re welcome here.
I’m here to walk beside you — whether you’re planning a hospital birth and want strong, steady advocacy within the NHS, or you’re drawn to a home birth and want to explore natural and holistic ways of preparing for birth and healing postnatally.
Either way, I’m deeply committed to supporting you in making informed choices that truly feel like yours.
I ask the questions that need to be asked. I listen for what matters most to you. And I hold your vision — whether that’s navigating clinical systems with confidence, or leaning into the wisdom of your own body, your ancestors, and your intuition. Perhaps a blend of both will be what resonates with you.
The strengths of my approach
I have trained with Abuela Doulas, an organisation which advocates particularly strongly for those marginalised in society and in maternal care on the basis of race, class, ability or gender. I have also trained in postpartum support with Red Tent Doulas. I can offer breastfeeding support, including LGBTQ+ lactation support.
A bit about me
As well as being a birth and postnatal doula, I am a yoga teacher, bodyworker, and academic — therefore, my work lives at the meeting point of embodied care and social consciousness. I bring an integrated approach to supporting your journey — drawing on movement, massage, mindfulness, and deep listening. Whether we’re preparing for birth with grounding breathwork and visualisations, easing into the postnatal period with hands-on support, or finding ways to feel strong, centred, and informed within a complex system of care — my role is to meet you where you are and walk with you from there. This is heart-led, body-based, justice-informed work. And I do it because I believe everyone deserves to feel powerful, held, and heard as they bring new life into the world. My own experiences in navigating the medical system — at times when I felt fully supported in the birth I envisioned, and at times when I didn’t — have shaped how I show up for the people I work with. I know what it’s like to advocate for your choices, to hold onto your vision, and to need someone in your corner who really sees you.
If we work together, I will do everything in my power to ensure you feel cared for, respected, and nurtured. I’ll advocate for you, walk with you, and hold space for your whole experience — body, mind, and spirit.And I’ll also be clear: this journey asks something of you too. A positive birth and postnatal experience doesn’t just happen — it’s something we prepare for, together. I’ll guide you through practices, tools, and mindset work to help you meet this time feeling informed, resourced, and rooted in your own power.If that kind of partnership speaks to you, I’d love to connect.
