Welcome & Congratulations!

Hello, I’m Matilda, a recognised Birth and Postnatal Doula based in Surrey, supporting families within one hour of KT15 across Surrey and London. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or expanding your family, I’m delighted you’re considering the support of a doula.
As a mother of two, I understand how transformative and sometimes overwhelming pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood can be. My own contrasting birth experiences, from a medicalised induction to a calm water birth, fuelled my passion for empowering women and families with knowledge, confidence, and personalised support.

My aim is for every parent I work with to feel informed, confident, and truly in control of their birth and postnatal experience. As your doula, I’ll walk beside you with compassion, evidence-based guidance, and unwavering support.

Antenatal Doula Support – Preparing You for a Positive Birth

You may have heard about the famous post-birth tea and toast, but I believe the support should start long before that moment.
My antenatal doula sessions offer dedicated time, reassurance, and personalised support to help you prepare for the birth that feels right for you. We begin with an initial meeting (often with your birth partner) to explore your hopes, preferences, and any concerns. If we’re a good fit, I’ll support you throughout your pregnancy so you feel prepared and confident.

Together, we can explore:
• Birth preparation and personalised birth planning
 • Hypnobirthing and relaxation techniques
 • Stages of labour and coping strategies
 • Breathing, movement, and natural pain relief
 • Feeding options: breastfeeding and bottle feeding
 • Newborn care, sleep, and postnatal recovery
 • Support after previous birth trauma or loss
 • Preparing older siblings and navigating life with multiple children
Every pregnancy is unique and your care and support should reflect that.

Birth Doula Support – Calm, Confident, Continuous Care

From 38 weeks, I am on call and ready to support your birth. Whether you’re planning a home birth, birth centre delivery, or hospital birth, I will join you whenever you feel you need me.
Throughout your labour, I offer continuous emotional, physical, and practical support, using techniques such as:
• Birth breathing and mindfulness
 • Birthing biomechanics and optimal positioning
 • Massage, affirmations, and comfort measures
 • Advocacy to help ensure your preferences are heard and respected
My role is to support both you and your birth partner, helping you feel safe, calm, and confident. Once your baby is born and you’re settled into your Golden Hour, I quietly step back to allow you to bond as a new family.

Postnatal Doula Support – Nurturing You in the Early Days

The early days with a newborn can be magical, emotional, and tiring all at once. My postnatal doula support is designed to help you feel rested, supported, and confident as you adjust to life with your baby.
Support is flexible, ranging from a few days to several months, and is tailored entirely to your family’s needs.
Postnatal support may include:
• Breastfeeding or bottle feeding guidance
 • Settling techniques and newborn care
 • Light household help and meal preparation
 • Emotional reassurance and practical advice
 • Babywearing support and sleep guidance
 • Caring for baby while you rest, shower, or recharge
Above all, I offer a calm, reassuring presence, holding space for you so you can focus on bonding with your baby.
