Doula - Kent & London

Pregnancy

As a birth doula in Kent and London I provide unwavering, non-judgmental support throughout your pregnancy, labour and new motherhood. You will get unconditional reinforcement for your practical, emotional and informational needs.

Choosing someone to be with you during such a vulnerable and emotional time can be a big decision and it is important to have a lot of trust in the person supporting you. I’m sure there will be things particular to your pregnancy, birth and parenting that I have missed so please never be afraid to ask via the contact page. There is information here on the area of Kent and southeast London that I cover as a birth doula, whether at your home, birth center or hospital.

Ask if you don’t see where you live below - sometimes I travel further.

You deserve a doula

Birth experiences last us a lifetime, invest in yourself, your partner and your baby.

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. I work on a trust basis, if you have enough to pay then I ask that you do. If you feel that I am a bargain and would like to give more, that money goes towards supporting family’s who would not otherwise be able to have a doula. My clients’ generosity and compassion has changed some families’ lives.

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.
