Rachel Huffman

Birth Doula & Postnatal Doula

Hi and congratulations! I’m Rachel. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period, offering both in-person and virtual services. I work with families who want continuity, confidence, and encouragement - whether you’re planning a homebirth, navigating the hospital system, or preparing remotely from abroad.

 

With over 15 years’ experience, I focus on guiding parents to feel in control, informed, and supported throughout their birth journey. My approach is non-judgemental, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed, and I hold recognition from Doula UK, Paediatric First Aid certification, 

Insurance or employer benefit reimbursement may apply- please enquire.


Who I Work With: 


I work with a wide range of families, including: 

  • Parents navigating anxiety or past birth trauma
  • Expat and multicultural families unfamiliar with the UK maternity system
  • Clients seeking a peaceful homebirth after previous loss or trauma
  • Survivors of domestic abuse
  • Parents managing chronic illness or neurodivergence
  • High-net-worth clients seeking precise, discreet and bespoke support



All these families share one thing in common: they want guidance, advocacy, and continuity from someone who believes in their ability, helps them stay in control, and supports them every step of the way.
