Zoe Sylvester

Postnatal Doula & Mentored Birth Doula

My name is Zoe. I am a Hertfordshire based doula and early years education and childcare consultant.

I am Zoe, a birth and postnatal doula and early years consultant, living in Kings Langley and working across Hertfordshire, North London and surrounding areas. I live with my husband, two of my three sons, one granddaughter, a Cocker Spaniel and a Labrador puppy, seven chickens and several fish. It is a busy home!

I understand that everyone’s birth and postpartum journey is unique and I would be delighted to help support you on yours at whatever stage you may be.  I aim to empower you to have the most positive experience no matter your circumstances or situation.  I will be there to advocate for you and help you feel in control of your decisions.

I offer various packages of support including a full birth package, postnatal, overnight postnatal and early years education and childcare consultancy.  Further information can be found on my website and I would love to explain these to you to find what may work best for you.

I have had a 25-year career in early years and primary teaching before following my passion for birth work.  The last 7 years of this was as a headteacher of an independent nursery school for children aged 2-5 years supporting parents to make informed choices for their children.  I look forward to using my experience to help you navigate your way through those important early education and childcare choices.

I am warm, open and always ready to listen.  I look to quickly build trust with my clients and work closely together to navigate through your perinatal journey and beyond. Here are some recent testimonials I have received.

"Zoe helped our family for two nights a week for 6 weeks from newborn onwards. She was such a brilliant addition to our family, I felt so supported by Zoe and looked forward to those evenings so much! She’s kind, knowledgeable, warm, gentle and loving the perfect combination for a doula and night doula ! Recommend so much!"

"We had a wonderful 10 nights with Zoe. As a father of my second child having someone to come and help us as and really fit in with the family was so important.
Every night she would arrive with a huge smile and delicious date balls. She was so helpful in helping our daughter start to settle well in a cot and we always enjoyed a great night sleep.
I can’t wait to have a 3rd child and work with Zoe again."

"Zoe supported me and my husband for 6 weeks during my post-natal period. Being a first-time mum, I wanted to enjoy the special time bonding with my new baby and have a recuperative period to recover from my c-section and recharge, and Zoe’s post-natal duala support enabled me to do so!
During her visits, I always knew that I could trust her to get things done – she would help me with the housework I needed to set us up for the day, and she is also fantastic with my baby. Not only did she get work done efficiently but she also always asked about how I/we felt, and she listened without judgment.
Zoe makes me feel very comfortable around her. Her calm personality with positive energy, empathetic approach, and work ethic have exceeded our expectations."

Do get in touch for an informal chat.  I look forward to meeting you.
