Question 1

What is a doula and how is it different from a midwife?

Accepted Answer

A doula offers emotional, practical, and informational support before, during, and after birth. Unlike a midwife, a doula does not provide clinical or medical care, but works alongside your healthcare team to support your personal experience.

Question 2

When should I book a doula?

Accepted Answer

It’s best to get in touch as early as you feel ready. Some clients book me as their Doula in the first trimester, while others wait until later in pregnancy or after birth, if looking for ASAP lactation support or general postnatal support. However, booking early helps ensure availability and gives time to build a supportive relationship.

Question 3

Can I work with a doula if I already have a partner or family support?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. A doula supports the whole family and can help your partner feel more confident and involved. I work alongside partners to create a calm, informed, and supportive environment.

Question 4

Do you support home births, hospital births, and birth centres?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I support all types of births—home births, hospital births, and birth centre births. My role is to help you feel safe, informed, and empowered wherever you choose to give birth.

Question 5

Is your support inclusive?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I am committed to providing respectful, inclusive, and non-judgemental care to all families. My services are LGBTQ+ inclusive, neurodivergent-friendly, and trauma-informed.

Question 6

I am not based in London nor Surrey. Do you offer virtual support?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of my services can be delivered virtually via phone or video call, including antenatal sessions, lactation support, mentoring, and birth trauma recovery.

Question 7

What if I’m not sure what kind of support I need?

Accepted Answer

That’s okay! I offer a free, no-obligation discovery call so we can talk through your situation and explore how I can help.
