Why Hire a Doula in South West London? Local Knowledge & Support

Birth doulas can cover a wide area, but there are always advantages to choosing someone local. Some of the benefits include:

• Helping you understand which local hospitals (we have so much choice in SW London: Kingston, St. George’s, Chelsea and Westminster, St. Helier, and beyond!) might be more aligned with your birth plan and supporting you to move hospitals if necessary. For example, if you want to have a homebirth, I can help ensure you are under the correct hospital(s) that offer that service to your postcode.
• Being able to easily visit you in early labour for reassurance/support, and then pop home again if you prefer continuing labouring in private.
• Local knowledge of useful staff members at different hospitals, providing you with contact details, or sharing experiences of other clients to help arrange the birth experience you want.
• Quick journey times, which can be particularly important for second/subsequent babies.
• Awareness of local hospital policies and differences between hospitals. I can help you work through these policies and come up with a plan that works for you.

Why Hire Me as Your Birth and Postnatal Doula in South West London?

Here are some areas I am particularly passionate about and where my strengths as a doula lie:

• My priority is to help you trust your instincts as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Research and my experience show that what matters most isn’t how birth unfolds, but whether you feel heard, respected, and confident in your choices.
• I support all types of birth but am particularly passionate about empowering those aiming for a physiological birth. I provide guidance on how to prepare for this. If you’ve looked at birth statistics at local hospitals or spoken to others about their experiences, you may know that achieving this often requires careful planning.
• My professional background is as an NHS Occupational Therapist, giving me a good understanding of the healthcare system. I also have experience reading health research, which helps me provide clear, evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions during pregnancy and birth.
• Postnatal support is another area I deeply care about. My birth doula package includes two follow-up visits, plus ongoing support via WhatsApp or phone—something many families find invaluable, especially when establishing breastfeeding.
• People often ask about my approach, and I’d say I sit somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, respecting birth for the transformative experience it is, while not being completely "crunchy"! My goal is to support you in a way that aligns with your values and vision for birth and early parenting.
