Hello, I’m Chloe! I'm a postnatal doula, infant feeding support doula in training, pre and postnatal yoga teacher and women's circle facilitator. I'm a creative community builder here in SE London, totally passionate about my work supporting women in this life stage.
My aim as a postnatal doula is to offer support that will transform your experience of becoming a parent, whether it’s for the first or subsequent time. I make it my mission to help mothers feel more calm, rested and confident in these vital early days - whatever support looks like for you.
I might be a good fit for you if:
- you're keen to be nurtured and nourished in the early days with expert, knowledgeable support, supportive listening and delicious food
- you value connection and companionship as well as holistic physical and emotional recovery
- you want to prioritise rest and self-care as well as caring for and bonding with your baby
- you know that catching up with a cup of tea can be a great mood booster, as well as a nap, 5 minute stretch or shower while someone cares for your baby!
I work in a holistic way - our nervous systems as well as physical healing influence how we feel in the early days of being a parent. I care a lot about putting my client and their family at the centre - I'm here to listen to and support you rather than tell you what to do. I know a lot about newborn and mother care, but every individual is different, so we'll work as a team to help you work out which choices (feeding - both you and your baby, sleep, activity, rest, rhythm and so on) are best for your family.
A bit more about me:
- I've been a doula for six years and was inspired to make a career change after becoming a mother myself and understanding how essential this work is
- I teach yoga with specialisms in prenatal, postnatal and pelvic floor and core rehab, as well as a restorative session called Nap Club in Crystal Palace
- I love to write, and I facilitate and I run an online community on Substack which includes seasonal circles
- I run yoga retreats in the UK and abroad
- I facilitate a local mum and baby group called Gathered
- I'm a very practised listener - as well as running workshops, women's circles and classes with sharing spaces for 7 years now, I started my career doing work on counselling helplines
- I have 2 kids (4 and 9 years old) who I live with in Crystal Palace, as well as my husband and cat
If you think we might be a good fit for each other, I'd be delighted to talk on the phone or meet to discuss this further. You can fill in the form below to get in touch.
“Chloe is an incredibly warm person with a calming presence. She leads with empathy and understanding and is an all round wonderful human. I was so relieved when she so easily slotted in with our sometimes chaotic home and was continually amazed at her ability to go with the flow.”

“Thank you for all you’ve done for my family. Our fourth trimester has been the healing experience we needed. I’ll never forget your support in these early days and helping me to find the joy in them.”
— Sophia
“Chloe is an incredible person and has been an amazing doula for our family. She has made a huge difference in the first months of our new family, making it calmer and more enjoyable. When our baby was born, she was there for all the anxieties and questions you have about a newborn. I don’t know how we would have coped without this support."
