I come from a culture which is all about 'mothering the mother'. Ensuring that women feel held, loved, supported and safe through every aspect of the birth and postnatal period is at the core of what I do.
Why am I such a passionate doula?
As a mother with 2 children myself, (each of which had two completely different pregnancies, births and postnatal experiences) I feel passionate about supporting families to feel informed and empowered through every aspect of their journey.
I come from a culture which is all about 'mothering the mother'. Ensuring that women feel held, loved, supported and safe through every aspect of the birth and postnatal period is at the core of what I do. When I had my own children the mothers in my family appeared at my door, not to hold the baby but to hold me. I was welcomed into motherhood with an abundance of love in the form of words of encouragement, nutritious food, breastfeeding support, and a listening ear. I found great strength in asking for help and it changed my motherhood experience for the better. I feel really passionate about mirroring this same support with every client I work with - tailored in a way that works for them.
My promise to you as your doula..
As your birth and/or postnatal doula I will be by your side, and on your side as you walk the journey of pregnancy, birth and into motherhood. As your doula I do not medically advise. I will work with you to ensure you have the knowledge and information you require to make your own informed choices based on evidence based practice.
Whether it's your first or fifth baby I know it can sometimes feel overwhelming trying to navigate the processes and systems that can happen around birth. That's where I come in! I will ensure you feel safe and protected during these precious and sacred moments.
What my clients say...
The loveliest doula! There to help whenever you need with whatever you need. She will give you her time regardless of schedule just to put your mind at ease! Absolutely lovely lady with the most pure soul.

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!
