Hello - It’s wonderful to have you here ✨ Congratulations on your pregnancy. 

I’m Alice, a birth and postnatal doula based in Esher, supporting families within one hour of KT10, including Surrey, South West, London, Berkshire, Hampshire, West Sussex and Kent.

A bit about me...

Pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks of motherhood are quite literally transformative. You build and birth an entire human being! It’s an extraordinary journey, and while so much of this will be joyful, it’s completely okay (and normal!) if it also feels overwhelming at times. I know this first hand from my own experience with my daughter. Following a straightforward pregnancy, my birth experience ended up being complicated. I found myself needing to advocate and stand up for the care that I wanted and knew I deserved. I then felt entirely lost in early postpartum, and really struggled to bond with my little one. 

I was fortunate enough to have the support of a doula overnight during these first intense weeks, and I cannot thank her enough - she really helped turn early motherhood around for me. Alongside this experience, in my professional career I work in the pregnancy research and maternity care space. All of these things combined have ignited a fire in me - I am so passionate about helping all women and birthing people have positive pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences, because we really do deserve them. I’ll provide calm, evidence-based and practical support to you and your family as you embark on this incredible journey into parenthood.
