🤱 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.
