Postnatal Doula in London – Supporting You After Birth
Experienced Support for Your Postnatal Journey
Are you pregnant and planning your postpartum in London, or adjusting to life with a newborn?
As your postnatal doula in London, I offer flexible support to help you navigate this special time. I’m based in Wimbledon and support families across South West, Central London, and Surrey.
What is a Postnatal Doula?
As your postnatal doula, I’m here to help you navigate this important time, supporting your physical recovery, emotional well-being, and family transition.
“After birth, there is a Sacred Window of time; a time for complete rejuvenation of a woman's physical, mental and spiritual health. A time for deep, extended bonding with her newborn. The first 42 days after birth set the stage for her next 42 years .”
Ysha Oakes.
What Does My Postnatal Support Look Like?
As a postnatal doula in London, each session is shaped around your needs in the moment. It might include:
- Listening and reassurance – Helping you find your confidence as a new parent
- Practical help around the house – Light housework, cooking, or helping with the never-ending laundry
- Time for you – Space to nourish yourself, spend time with older children, or simply pause whilst I take care of the baby
For some families, it’s all of these; for others, it’s mainly one. It’s entirely up to you.
Infant Feeding Support in London
Feeding your baby can be a big part of the early days. I’m a trained breastfeeding champion with IABLE and can:
- Offer gentle guidance as you establish breastfeeding.
- Signpost you to trusted local lactation experts if needed.
- Support you if you’re using formula, mixed feeding, or moving from breastfeeding to formula.
My focus is always on helping you meet your feeding goals.
Nourishment for You
I’m a keen cook and baker. During our sessions, I can prepare simple, nourishing meals or bake a cake to lift your spirits. If you’re interested, I can also share nutrition tips to support your postpartum recovery.
Protecting Your Space
The early weeks with a newborn can feel overwhelming. Too many / too few visitors, too much advice, chores piling up—these can all affect your peace and bonding time.
As you postnatal doula in London, I’ll help you create a calm, private space. We’ll work together to put the boundaries in place that you need, so you can focus on rest and bonding.
Supporting the Whole Family
I’m here for everyone: partners adjusting to their new role, older siblings finding their place, and of course, you and your baby. I can hold your newborn so you can reconnect with older children, or free up your partner to be with you.

"My husband and I can’t say enough about how happy we were working with Lisa.
She is so warm and helpful, supportive and experienced. The support she provided to myself and my baby after birth was incredibly important in reducing my worries and anxious thoughts. I believe that our child had the best start with the wonderful and loving care given by Lisa."
