✨ Congratulations! Whether you’re expecting a baby or supporting someone who is, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. ✨
I’m Emma - a birth and postnatal doula based in Earlsfield, South West London, where I live with my relaxed husband, our three lively children, and one very tolerant cat. I love cuddling babies, walking dogs, cooking wholesome meals, baking sweet treats, and getting lost in a great book or crime drama. I adore time with my family, but equally treasure the occasional quiet weekend to recharge.
I’ve always been drawn to pregnancy and birth - often stopping for a chat with someone expecting or cooing over a newborn in the park. After my own birth experiences, becoming a doula felt like the natural next step: a way to offer others the calm, compassionate support I know makes all the difference.
As a doula, I provide thoughtful, down-to-earth support through pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenting. I bring lived experience, gentle encouragement, and evidence-based information to help you feel respected, confident, and truly heard - whatever your birth plan looks like. If you’ve had a previous birth or pregnancy experience that still feels unresolved, I’m also trained in the gentle 3 Step Rewind technique – a simple, safe way to help release difficult emotions, whether you’re preparing for another baby or processing a past experience postnatally.
And because birth is unpredictable, I work with a brilliant backup doula, Clementine Hamdan, who shares the same warm, grounded approach. If for any reason I can't be with you on the day, you'll still be in incredibly capable hands.
Birth Support - What to Expect
🤍 Let’s Talk
We’ll start with a relaxed, no-pressure Zoom or in-person chat to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. I’ll share how I work and learn more about you and your hopes for birth.
🤍 Ongoing Support
Once booked, I’m in your corner. We’ll set up a WhatsApp group and stay in regular contact - from appointment questions to emotional check-ins, I’m here.
🤍 Antenatal Prep
We’ll have two personalised sessions (around 3 hours each) where we’ll talk about your preferences, options, and how to prepare practically and emotionally. These are tailored to you and your partner, leaving you feeling informed and ready.
🤍 On-Call & Labour Support
From 38 weeks, I’m on call 24/7. When labour starts, I’ll be with you - offering continuous, hands-on support through every surge and stage, staying until you’re safely snuggled up with your baby.
🤍 Postnatal Visit
Once you’re home, I’ll pop in to see how you’re doing, help with any early questions, reflect on the birth if you’d like, and continue offering remote support for six weeks.
Postnatal Support - A Gentle Hand in the Chaos
The early days can be beautiful, blurry, and overwhelming. As your postnatal doula, I’m here to help you find moments of calm and confidence.
That might mean:
🍲 Cooking something nourishing
🛁 Holding baby so you can rest or shower
☕ Making tea and offering a listening ear
💬 Supporting you to process your birth
🍼 Reassuring you about feeding, nappies, and newborn quirks
I care deeply about helping you feel connected - to your baby, your instincts, and yourself.
