Feel confident on your birth journey
Planning a birth that reflects your desires, choices, and instincts can be challenging within a maternity system that often prioritises NHS policy over personalised care. Local maternity statistics across South West London show families facing high rates of induction and caesarean, limited access to options like water birth, and little continuity of care.
If you live in South West or Central London and are hoping for a more instinctive, supported experience, having a birth doula by your side can make all the difference.
I love supporting physiological, undisturbed labour — births where your body leads the way, and you're surrounded by a team who trusts you completely. But more than anything, I care about families coming out of their birth knowing they made the right choices for them at every step.
I’ve supported a wide range of birth journeys: home births, birth centre and hospital births, VBAC, planned caesareans, water births, inductions, and births following previous trauma.
Whatever your hopes or circumstances, I’ll help you prepare in a way that feels informed, empowering, and truly aligned with your needs.
Based in Wimbledon, I offer consistent, personal support throughout pregnancy, labour, and the early days with your baby — something rarely available through standard maternity care. With me, you won’t need to repeat yourself at every stage. Instead, you’ll have a trusted, continuous presence by your side — offering evidence-based guidance, encouragement to trust your instincts, and local knowledge tailored to you.

Passionate about physiological birth
In a medical maternity system, I believe in the innate power of our bodies and the strength of parental instincts.
I’m here to champion your choices and support a physiological birth if this is what you are hoping for.
If you are planning a different type of birth, you will still really benefit from understanding birth physiology and how to boost your natural oxytocin in any type of labour and birth.
“I cannot thank you enough, Lisa. Our birth experience would not have been the same without you. You helped me advocate for what I needed, cope in challenging moments, and feel truly supported. You were an absolutely indispensable part of our team.” S & B
