Matilda made all the difference in the birth of our second little girl, supporting me through 10 days of prodromal labour and through the eventual delivery. It was an unrecognisable experience from my first labour - calm, warm and in control. She has also provided night support since which was invaluable. And as a bonus she has been absolutely brilliant with our 2 year old who is very slow to warm up - she still asks about Tildy!
Why am I such a passionate doula?
My journey into motherhood showed me just how much preparation, knowledge, and support can shape a birth experience. My first birth was far from what I had hoped for, and it left me feeling unheard and unprepared. In contrast, my second birth was calm, positive, and deeply empowering because I understood my options, trusted my body, and felt truly supported. Experiencing these two very different births inspired me to become the kind of doula who helps families approach birth with confidence and clarity, and to step into their experience feeling connected to the vision they hold for welcoming their baby.
As a first generation Zimbabwean, I grew up deeply connected to the cultural philosophy of mothering the mother. This beautiful approach places nurturing, emotional support, practical care, and community at the heart of pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. It is a tradition valued across many African cultures and one that holds universal meaning.
When I became a mother, the incredible women in my family surrounded me with warmth, nourishment, and encouragement. They brought delicious food, shared gentle breastfeeding wisdom, listened with compassion, and reminded me to rest and laugh. Their support made me feel held and cared for in a way that shaped my entire experience of early motherhood.
Discovering the strength and transformation that come from being supported inspired my commitment to uplifting families from all cultures and backgrounds. I want every parent I work with to feel informed, confident, and truly cared for throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey.
My aim is to offer nurturing care, warmth, humour, and personalised support that honours each family’s unique needs, personality, and preferences. And yes, that includes midnight snacks, because those small comforts matter more than people realise.
My promise to you as your doula..
As your birth or postnatal doula, I will stand beside you and firmly on your side as you move through pregnancy, birth, and the early days of motherhood. My role is not to give medical advice but to ensure you have clear, evidence based information so you can make informed choices that feel right for you and your family. I am here to help you feel confident, prepared, and truly supported.
Whether you are welcoming your first baby or your fifth, navigating maternity systems, appointments, and decision making can sometimes feel overwhelming. That is where I come in. I will help you understand your options, communicate your preferences, and feel grounded and calm throughout your journey.
My promise is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and protected during these precious and sacred moments. I am here to hold you with warmth and clarity so you can focus on the experience you envision for your birth and your transition into motherhood.

Matilda the Doula is amazing. She has been an Angel sent to me. The support I received from her during this pregnancy has been nothing like my last 2 pregnancies. 100% recommend!

Matilda helped us through the night, looking after our 10 week old baby girl. She was so gentle and understanding, it really made the nights much easier!
