Packages for Every Journey

Kent, Medway & South East London

Choosing a doula is a deeply personal decision, and if you choose me, you won’t just be gaining a birth companion; you’ll be inviting someone into your story who truly sees you.

I’m here to walk beside you through every wave of emotion, the excitement, the fear, the fierce love, and to hold space for whatever unfolds. Birth is raw, real, and transformative.

It’s not just about a plan or a checklist, it’s about how you feel in those moments: safe, heard, respected, and never alone. I’ll be your calm in the chaos, your grounded voice when things feel uncertain, and your champion when you need reminding of your strength.

Whether you're preparing for your first birth, healing from a past experience, or simply wanting to feel held through this journey, I offer warmth, wisdom, and unwavering support. You already have everything you need inside you, I’m just here to help you trust it.

Whether you’re looking for grounding support in the third trimester or want full wraparound care from the very beginning, I offer three distinct packages designed to meet you where you are. All of my work is built on deep trust, personalised care, and an unwavering belief in your strength, choice, and instincts.

This is for you if you’re craving a deeply connected, continuous relationship with your doula from pregnancy through early parenting; complete, loving, intuitive care.

“She helped us navigate every stage. Not just birth, but the messy, beautiful beginning of parenthood. I can’t imagine doing it without her.”

Pocket Doula + birth preparation - £1,200

Your experienced, calm, and caring doula, right there when you need her most.

This package is designed for those who want the knowledge, reassurance, and emotional steadiness of a doula throughout pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood, but don’t necessarily want or need in-person support at the birth itself.

With the Pocket Doula, you get the best of both worlds: personalised, in-depth preparation and ongoing, responsive support from someone who knows you, gets it, and is 100% in your corner.

• Access experienced, knowledgeable and compassionate support, when you want it

• Three antenatal sessions in person, covering everything you have questions on

• Dedicated WhatsApp group for all your late night worries

• Three relaxation calls with a script reading and time to offload

• Virtual support during your birth from someone in your team, on your side, with deep experience of birth

• Postnatal visit in person

• Six weeks of whatsapp/message/call support postpartum

This is ideal if you want continuity of care, but aren’t planning to have a doula physically present at your birth, or if you live outside my in-person catchment area but still want personal, responsive support from someone you trust.

“It was such a comfort knowing I could reach out any time. I felt like Ruth was really walking alongside me through it all.”

Why me?

If you choose me as your doula, you’re choosing someone who deeply believes in your right to have the birth, and early parenthood, that you want and deserve.

I bring experience, compassion, and evidence‑based knowledge to every stage: pregnancy, birth and postnatal. I don’t have a one‑size‑fits‑all approach; I get to know you, your birth partner or family, your beliefs, hopes, fears, and goals so that together we make a plan that feels right for you. I’m here to support you in making informed decisions while holding space for your voice to be heard; in rooms that can feel overwhelming, when pressure builds, or when uncertainty looms.

Whether this is your first birth, you’ve had difficult experiences before, or you simply want advocacy, emotional steadiness, and practical support (massage, comfort, listening, breastfeeding support), I walk alongside you without judgement. More than anything, you won’t feel alone in this.

I want your birth to be not just something you survive, but something you remember with power, love, and trust in yourself.

Here’s what clients say:

Hen 2025

“Thanks to Ruth, I had the natural, unmedicated birth I thought was out of reach — an experience that was empowering, healing, and deeply meaningful.

If you’re looking for a doula who is compassionate, reliable, and truly invested in your journey, I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough. She is a remarkable support and a true gift to anyone giving birth”

Ross 2025

”She’s supported my wife in ways I couldn’t, and I’ll always be grateful for that. We’ll really miss having her around, but thanks to Ruth, we’re in a good place. Thank you.”

Lottie 2025

“I honestly believe Ruth has played the biggest part in my positive postpartum experience and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone. We will never ever forget the care she showed us and we just wish we knew about her for our first.”

Laura 2024

“Ruth was an absolute star during my (somewhat complicated) pregnancy and birth - she is knowledgeable, compassionate and a source of unending positivity and energy. I can't recommend her enough as a doula for not only supporting us throughout pregnancy, prepping us for the delivery of our baby and our interactions with antenatal professionals, but also for going above and beyond during our rather arduous labour. If you're on the fence about getting a doula, don't be - Ruth will be everything you hoped for and more!”

pre 2024

“Ruth held me emotionally, physically and spiritually through birth. Her presence is grounding and calm. I felt safe and deeply seen.”

“From the very beginning Ruth made me feel like I had choice, power, and time. She guided me without judgement and reminded me I already had everything I needed.”

“Our birth wouldn’t have been what it was without her. Her care stayed with us long after baby arrived.”

I bring warmth, clarity and continuity to your experience, helping you feel empowered, supported and unhurried.

You deserve a doula

If you have any concerns about money, you can talk to me. If I can offer you a discount, a payment plan or a skill swap - I will.

Alongside paid work, I volunteer with Doulas Without Borders who provide free of charge doulas to some of the UK's most vulnerable mothers. As a collective The Good Birth Practice donate £25 of every birth towards family based charities. Everyone who wants one deserves to have a doula.

As a member of Doula UK (DUK), my practice reflects the Doula UK philosophy and the Doula UK code of conduct.

Doula UK has a voucher scheme, so friends and family can buy you a portion of your birth care or some postnatal hours.

If you are in need of free support please contact Doulas Without Borders.
