Hi, I’m Zoe – an autistic mother, wife, baker, creator, research scientist, and full spectrum doula offering pregnancy and postpartum support across the North East and North Yorkshire.

I run Postpartum Matters CIC, a non-profit organisation providing holistic and inclusive doula support and pregnancy care. I work with women and birthing people of all ages through tailored, one-to-one doula services, as well as via my free-to-access community wellbeing space – Women's Health Hartlepool.

My lived experience of birthing my own two children – with each pregnancy and labour being unique, challenging, and transformational – drives my deep belief in the power of being supported throughout the journey into parenthood. As a doula, my role is to walk alongside you through pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period. I can hold space, advocate for you, attend antenatal appointments, and help you plan for a birth experience that feels right for you.

🌿 My Full Doula Support Package – £1400 or 10 payments of £140 (flexible)

This includes:

✨ Four antenatal sessions covering:

• Antenatal education
• Birth preparation and birth biomechanics
• Preparation for newborn care, including infant feeding education
• Emotional support, listening, and advocacy – whatever you need to feel confident and empowered.

✨ Rebozo hire from our first session through to postpartum – with guidance on how to use it effectively for pregnancy, labour and recovery.

✨ Phone support from the moment you book until 40 days postpartum.

✨ On-call birth support from 38 weeks – I’ll be there when you need me, wherever you’re birthing, across the North East or North Yorkshire.

✨ Four postnatal sessions, used however you need – from Closing the Bones, to emotional debriefs, to light housework or cooking. Whatever helps you and your family feel held.

You’ll also receive access to:

• A birth pool, TENS machine, peanut ball, and other comfort tools for birth
• Free sling hire for 40 days postpartum
• A growing library of books and resources

"Zoe was a pure blessing during my pregnancy and labour. As anxious first-time parents, we truly needed her calm, supportive presence. She had answers to all our questions and gave us the confidence to make informed choices."
