I’m a passionate advocate for birth, living in North London with my husband and three kids. With over a decade of experience, I am equally at home supporting births in a hospital or home. My mission? To ensure you feel heard, supported, and in control, no matter what your birth journey looks like.

My path to becoming a doula started with breastfeeding support and evolved through training as an Active Birth Practitioner, Antenatal Educator, Doula, Pregnancy and Postnatal Yoga Teacher, and Hypnobirthing Instructor. I combine my training with a deep understanding of birth Biomechanics to create a personalised, holistic approach for every family I work with.

I’m a fierce advocate for my clients. I will fight for your birth rights, ensure you understand all your options, and make sure your voice is heard above all else. I’m here to support you in creating a birth plan, to help you unpack any past birth experiences, and to practice positions and breathing techniques in your home so you’re fully prepared for labour.

During your birth, I provide emotional and physical support while maintaining a calm, peaceful environment. My goal is not to take over, but to complement your partner's role and give you both the confidence and reassurance you need. Whether things go as planned or not, I’m here to guide you through it. After your birth, I’ll check in for a post-birth debrief and offer any support you might need.

I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach to birth. Birth is unpredictable, and I encourage you to prepare for all possibilities. What matters most is that you feel confident, informed, and positive about your experience, no matter how your baby arrives. Follow me on Instagram for free tips and support: @thedoulaclub

Client feedback: "We feel incredibly lucky to have had Carly as our Doula. From the start, Carly created an environment where we felt completely safe, informed, and empowered throughout our pregnancy and birth journey. She consistently supported our choices, making sure that my care was centred around me and not influenced by hospital KPIs, timelines, or pressures.

Carly has an incredible understanding of the maternity system and knew exactly how to navigate it — giving the insider “hacks” and advice I needed to feel in control at every step. She became a strong, knowledgeable advocate for me, which meant that my partner could focus entirely on offering emotional and physical support, without the added stress of having to “manage” the situation.

Her reassurance was constant and comforting, whether that was during hospital appointments, labour, or the many calls she made to check in during and afterwards. Carly also made a huge difference by confirming and clarifying situations where we had received conflicting or incorrect information from medical professionals, ensuring we always had the facts and could make decisions with confidence.

Thanks to Carly, I felt not just supported, but truly heard. She is calm, clear and genuinely committed to making sure women and families are respected and empowered in one of the most important experiences of their lives. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Lucy & Dan 

“Working with Carly for the birth of our first child was one of the best decisions and investments on our journey to parenthood. 

We met with a few different doulas before meeting Carly and it was clear from the start that Carly’s warm nature, professional and personal experiences, and crystal-clear communications were exactly what we were looking for. 

The pre-birth sessions with Carly were very practical and informative, which helped settle our minds. She came armed with useful knowledge, tips and even a template that we used for our birth plan.

When we went into labour it was great to have Carly at the end of the phone to discuss and provide guidance on breathing and pain management strategies.

Carly was right there by our side when we had to leave for the hospital, providing a reassuring voice and an extra pair of hands to help with things like navigating the taxi and helping with our hospital bags.

Once we were admitted, Carly’s presence as our birth partner was truly invaluable. Words really can’t express how much Carly helped us manage the labour highs and lows! She was brilliant as our birth advocate and helped us cope with the labour pains in the birthing pool – even providing a sturdy hand to hold.

When things didn’t go quite as planned in the birthing centre, Carly kept us calm and provided continuity of support in the labour ward. When we were finally able to go home with our newborn daughter, Carly was right there, helping to debrief on the birth and to provide fantastic advice on sleeping and breastfeeding.  

Carly brought a sensitive, calming and practical presence to our birthing journey and her experience – both professionally as a doula and personally as a mother of three – was clear from the start of our work together. We felt calm and more knowledgeable, which was helpful for both of us but for Dom, in particular. We would highly recommend Carly to anyone looking for a birth doula.” Jules, Dom & Little Lulu

"Carly was our doula for the birth of our first baby, Olive. We were planning a homebirth and knew we wanted a doula to support us, but we had trouble finding someone who felt right. Inviting someone to share this most intimate and personal moment is a hard decision, but when I met Carly through her antenatal yoga I knew she’d be the doula for us! Her online yoga classes became a real lifeline during the long days of lockdown, giving me time to reconnect with my baby, body and breathing. It was a great way to escape the madness and meet other expectant mummas. Carly was an incredible support for us in the lead up to and during the birth. In our antenatal sessions, Carly talked us through what we could expect, described the changes that my body and baby would go through during labour and got us to act out different labour and birth positions (She even tolerated it when we got the giggles during breathing practice). In the weeks leading up to the birth, Carly was also always on hand if I needed to talk and made helpful suggestions to help overcome any fears or challenges. On the day itself, Carly was such amazing support for both me and my husband. I think labour could be overwhelming for two first time parents, but Carly’s calm reassurance and practical support gave us the confidence and peace of mind to stay at home.  She set up the birth pool single-handed. She reassured us while we waited for the midwives to arrive. But for me, it was the little things that Carly did that made the biggest difference: rolling a soft towel up to rest my knees on in the bath and take the pressure off; placing my positive affirmations in my eye line so I could see them when I looked up between contractions; pouring warm water over my back and a cooling flannel on my face. Each was so intuitive and exactly what I needed at that moment in my labour. We can never thank Carly enough for helping us bring our beautiful daughter into the world and ensuring our birth experience was a positive one. We would recommend her 1000 times over!
