Postnatal Doula · Crystal Palace · South London
Antenatal preparation and postnatal & breastfeeding support in your own home. From a Doula UK member who also works as a Postnatal Midwifery Assistant & Infant Feeding Specialist for the NHS.
A postnatal doula is a trained, non-medical professional who supports you in the first weeks home with your baby — feeding, recovery, sleep, and the emotional reality of life with a newborn. I focus on postnatal support only; I don't attend births. That means when I'm with you, I'm fully present.
I bring fifteen years of NHS postnatal-ward experience to that role, including a current part-time post as a Postnatal Midwifery Assistant & Infant Feeding Specialist. So you get clinical expertise on feeding and recovery, alongside the calm, practical support that makes those early weeks easier.
How I support you
Two 90-minute sessions in your home covering birth plan, hospital bag, partner preparation, and what really happens in active labour. Most people book these in the third trimester.
£200
In-home support during the first six weeks — feeding help, sleep guidance, light household help, and mum-recovery checks. I bring real NHS clinical eyes for early signs of issues.
£35/hr · package discounts available
I'm based in Anerley (SE20) and travel for in-home doula sessions across South East and South West London — Crystal Palace, Penge, Sydenham, Beckenham, Bromley, Dulwich, Forest Hill, West Norwood, Streatham, Brixton, Tooting, Clapham, Lewisham and Blackheath. For postnatal in-home work I cap travel at 30 minutes from Anerley, so I can be present for the actual support rather than spending half the visit in traffic.
Every doula client receives £20 off the 2-Hour Parent First Aid course. Most parents book it in the second trimester so they're feeling prepared by the time baby arrives — and then practising the techniques on a real-feel manikin makes a huge difference vs reading about it. See the course →
No commitment. We talk through what you're hoping for, I tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit, and we go from there.
