Birth & Postnatal Doula in Surrey and London | Matilda the Doula

Welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy!

 Hello, I’m Matilda, a recognised and experienced birth and postnatal doula in Surrey, supporting families within one hour of KT15, including Surrey, South West London, Berkshire, Hampshire, and Middlesex. 

Book a call here: https://www.matildathedoula.com/contact

Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or growing your family, I provide calm, continuous, evidence based doula support through pregnancy, birth, and the early postnatal period.

As a mother of two, I understand how transformative and sometimes overwhelming this journey can feel. My own experiences, from a first birth filled with medical induction, overwhelming choices to a second much calmer empowered water birth, inspired my passion for helping families feel informed, confident, and in control.

My aim is simple to make sure:
 ✨ You feel prepared for birth
 ✨ You feel supported in your choices
 ✨ You feel nurtured after your baby arrives

Antenatal Doula Support in Surrey Preparing for a Positive Birth

Support with me doesn't just at birth, it begins in pregnancy from the moment we meet!

So once you are booked in we will have at least 3 antenatal sessions offering personalised birth preparation so you feel calm, informed, and ready. We begin with a relaxed meeting, often including your birth partner, to explore your hopes, preferences, and any worries.

Together we will cover

• Personalised birth planning
•  Hypnobirthing and relaxation techniques
•  Biomechanics and physiological birth
•  Understanding the stages of labour
•  Breathing, movement, and natural pain relief
•  Birth partner preparation
•  Infant feeding including breastfeeding and bottle feeding
•  Newborn care, sleep, and postnatal recovery
•  Support after previous birth trauma or loss
•  Preparing older siblings for a new baby
• Every pregnancy is unique and your support should be too.

Birth Doula Support Means Calm Continuous Care

From 38 weeks of pregnancy once the prep has been done, I will then be on call as your birth doula.  Whether you are planning a home birth, birth centre birth, or hospital birth, I provide continuous emotional and physical support throughout labour.

During birth I will offer:
• Calm reassurance and emotional support
 • Breathing techniques and mindfulness
 • Birthing biomechanics and optimal positions
 • Massage and hands on comfort measures
 • Encouragement and grounding presence
 • Gentle advocacy, helping your preferences be heard

My role is to support both you and your birth partner so you feel safe, confident, and empowered. After your baby arrives and you are settled into your Golden Hour, I quietly step back to give you space to bond.

Postnatal Doula Support Where Care Continues:

The early days with a newborn are beautiful, emotional, and tiring. As a postnatal doula support I cover Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire, Middlesex and surrounding area and can ensure you feel rested, cared for, and confident.

My support is flexible, from a few visits to 4 months, and tailored to your family’s needs.
Postnatal support may include
• Breastfeeding or bottle feeding support
 • Newborn care and settling techniques
 • Light household help and nourishing meal preparation (tasty meals guaranteed!)
 • Emotional reassurance and space to talk
 • Babywearing guidance
 • Gentle sleep support
 • Caring for your baby while you rest or shower
Above all, I provide a calm, reassuring presence so you can focus on bonding with your baby.
