Harriet Paintin

Mentored Birth Doula & Mentored Postnatal Doula

I'm a warm, intuitive postnatal doula, licensed massage therapist, and former NHS nurse who blends holistic Ayurvedic care, therapeutic bodywork, and practical, nurturing support to help new parents recover, restore, and feel deeply cared for in the weeks after birth.

🤱 Harriet – Ayurvedic Postnatal Doula & Holistic Practitioner

I’m Harriet: a nurturing, intuitive postpartum doula, trained Ayurvedic coach, and former NHS nurse. I’m passionate about supporting new parents through the tender early weeks after birth—physically, emotionally, and energetically—using a blend of modern medical understanding and time-honoured holistic care.

🌸 What I Offer

  • Ayurvedic Postnatal Care: Specialising in abhyanga (warm-oil massage), belly binding, yoni steam or herbal bath blends, and nourishing Ayurvedic meal prep—each session tailored to your body, birth experience, and recovery needs.
  • Postnatal Doula Support: Whether you’ve had a caesarean, assisted birth, or birth centre delivery, I help with baby care, feeding, household support, emotional wellbeing, and liaising with healthcare providers—all in your home.

🛠 My Background

  • NHS Registered Nurse turned integrative practitioner: I blend clinical experience with holistic care.
  • Ayurvedic Training in Kerala: After discovering Ayurveda in India in 2009, I studied alongside traditional herbalists and medicine-making women, and formalised my learning at the School of Ayurveda & Panchakarma.
  • Licensed Massage Therapist: I'm a fully qualified and insured Massage Therapist
  • Postnatal Doula Certified: I combine nurturing presence with practical know-how and emotional support through one of life’s most significant transitions.

🎁 Suitable For

  • Any new parent seeking gentle professional support, combining Ayurvedic healing with doula care
  • Anyone wanting a holistic, grounded, and culturally rooted postpartum experience

📍 Serving East London & Beyond
