Are you
pregnant and
looking for
support?
Welcome to Doula for You.
Hello, I'm Lisa.
I'm a birth and postpartum doula based in Wimbledon and working in London and Surrey.
Take a look around my website to find out about how you can benefit from the support I can provide you through your pregnancy, birth and into the fourth trimester.
Also do check out my podcast all about positive birth - something which is so important to me, and that I can help you achieve.
If you have any questions at all then do not hesitate to get in touch. Much love x
What is a doula and why should I hire one?
Doulas exist to support YOU as parents. We accompany you on this journey to parenthood, or when a new baby is being added to your existing family.
Hiring a doula fills a gap in current maternity services by providing true continuity of care in pregnancy, through birth and into the early days of life with a newborn. We are able to build a trusting relationship that will protect you both at this hugely exciting but also very vulnerable life stage. A Cochrane review into the evidence for the benefits of continuous support in labour concluded there are particular benefits in having a doula in your support team.
Many new parents end up feeling overwhelmed and anxious: a doula can help you navigate these days with confidence, peace and joy.
Birth Doula
Giving birth is a life-changing experience. All too often you may only realise the extent of this after it the event, which can be too late.
As you prepare for labour and birth you will need to make choices for yourself and your baby and to do this you need be informed and supported: I am able to help.
If you are birthing your baby within the NHS then you will not know for certain in advance who will be present. You often will not have even met them before! As your doula I am able to provide you with the continuous support you deserve.
Postpartum Doula
The first 40 days of your baby's life sets the scene for the next 40 months plus for your family.
Here in the UK we have lost sight as a culture of how to support new parents in their transition: to nurture them, to care for them, and to provide a supportive space where you can get to know your baby and grow in confidence.
I provide both emotional and practical support to ensure you get off to the best possible start. I can also help you start planning your postpartum whilst you are pregnant.
Prices
I like to keep what I offer simple, transparent and understandable.

"I cannot thank you enough, Lisa. Our birth experience would have been the same without you. You helped me advocate where I needed to get the resources I needed, and you me cope and helped fortify B. You were an absolutely indispensable part of our team, and we will remember you with so much fondness for playing such an important role in the birth of our son. "
