Emotional and practical Post natal support for any new mums in the Surrey and Sussex area

I am a postnatal doula working in the Surrey and Sussex areas in South East England. I have trained in baby wearing, mindful breast feeding, mothers mental health, and postnatal massage. I run a check in service as well as minimum three hour sessions where I support a new mother post birth, signposting, reassuring and nurturing her so she can put her well-being first and bond with baby in a safe space. I am also a developing doula companion to new doulas and the Doula Uk Guildford rep.

Sharing a few scribbles I’ve been writing recently.

What would you have loved someone to do for you in those early weeks? I’d love to know.

A little message for the week ahead from The Space Between deck

Trust the process.

Not always easy when life feels a bit uncertain and we’d quite like to know what’s coming next, but sometimes we just have to let things unfold.

That’s why I created these cards. Little reminders for the days when we need them most.

25 cards, each with something slightly different to offer. Perhaps there’s one you need to hear today too.

Is trusting the process something that comes naturally to you, or do you find it a little tricky sometimes?

Come and join and I, this Friday, for our monthly walk and talk!!!

This community is such a special network of doulas, therapists, holistic practitioners, perinatal professionals, while also being mums, daughters, wives, sisters and women running their own businesses. It can often feel lonely and isolating as we navigate all the different layers of business, motherhood, work and life and we overlook our own self care.

Making these connections and being able to share and chat, can make the work we do even more special and meaningful so if you are just starting out, taking a break, feeling in need of inspiration, considering your options or struggling to make connections, navigating social media and just want some like minded conversations, cone and join us!

Grief is such a hard emotion to navigate, whether we’re experiencing it ourselves or supporting someone we love.

I’ve written a new blog sharing a little about the different forms I’ve experienced and gentle, practical ways we can support those walking through loss, what really helps, and how to ask for help when we’re the ones grieving.

I really feel that it’s not about finding the right words, but simply being there and walking alongside someone when the enormity of it hits.

I hope this blog brings a little comfort and encouragement, and that you’ll share it with someone who might need it today.

Two years without Dad today.
Still seems rather ridiculous that the world carries on without him in it.

So here I am, having a cuppa with his photograph, chatting away as though he’s about to offer some completely unsolicited advice or tell me I’m doing too much.
Some days I laugh, some days I cry. Usually a bit of both.

I Miss you, Daddy. Still putting the world to rights with you, just a rather one-sided conversation these days. 😞

I’ve been feeling my Dad particularly close these past few days, so pulling this card feels especially meaningful.

Halloween, or Samhain, is traditionally believed to be a time when the veil between the living and those we’ve lost is at its thinnest.

With Dad’s birthday falling around this time, and tomorrow marking two years since we lost him, it feels even more poignant.
Two years. Somehow both a lifetime and no time at all.

I’ve always believed in those little signs, those moments when you feel someone close without quite knowing why. Owls, Robins, Certain songs, my awareness is always wrapped around these things like a bow so maybe that’s why this card feels so special.

It is a reminder that we don’t need all the answers. Sometimes we just need to trust what we feel. The space between missing someone and still feeling them beside us.

I’ll always be listening, noticing, and trusting that love doesn’t simply disappear.

You know those little jobs that never seem to end when you’ve got a baby?

Well, while baby enjoys a lovely nap, I get busy making life a little easier for mum.

Bottles washed and sterilised, washing up done, supper prepared, toys tidied, clothes folded… and of course, a biscuit and a cuppa waiting for mum.

Nothing particularly extraordinary. Just all those little jobs that can feel enormous when you’re caring for a baby.

And the best bit? Mum gets to spend that precious nap time doing whatever she needs. Resting, showering, eating or simply enjoying a moment to herself.

A lovely morning doing what I love, making life a little easier for a new mum.

Because being looked after shouldn’t be a luxury. It’s exactly what she needs and deserves.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this year I’ve been thinking about what I want to say, if anything at all.

Twenty years and four breast cancer diagnoses later, cancer has become part of my story, but it has never been the whole story.

There has been a great deal of life in between. Becoming a mother, raising a daughter, learning to live with uncertainty, finding work I love and discovering that sometimes the most valuable thing we can offer another person is simply to be there.

My experiences have undoubtedly influenced both the mother I am and the postnatal doula I have become.

They have also made me increasingly aware of how desperately we need better, more joined-up, specialist support for parents affected by cancer. Not only during pregnancy or the postnatal months, but through the years of raising children alongside treatment, recovery, recurrence and monitoring.

The truth is, family life doesn’t stop when cancer arrives and neither do the needs of the people living alongside it.

Between Feeds & IVs is where I write about some of this. The ordinary alongside the extraordinary. The messy middle. The things we carry and the lives we continue to build.

So this is my little contribution to October. Not a reminder to be brave or strong, but a reminder that behind every diagnosis is a whole life, and often a whole family, that deserves to be supported.

Rather timely, really.

With a daughter who has somehow just turned 16, half term already upon us and some beautiful new mummas to support, life feels happy and full at the moment.

And this morning I picked the Self Care card.

Something I’m rather good at encouraging in others, but not always quite so good at allowing for myself.

I have another scan this week, and with October being 🎀 , I’ve been thinking about whether to share a little more about that side of my life. But actually, I think this little card is enough for now.

There’s always a lot going on, some of it lovely, some of it a little harder to carry, and I’m learning that I don’t always have to keep up with everything, or everyone. Sometimes it’s ok to just sit by the fire, with the dog beside me, and give myself permission to just be for a while.

So perhaps this week I’ll try to take a little of my own advice.

Who knew you could settle a baby, cook dinner, tackle the washing and put the world to rights, all in three hours?

Just another day in the wonderful, slightly chaotic but beautiful, nurturing world of postnatal doula life!

Thank you, for these lovely words. I am so grateful for my incredible clients and this wonderful Mumma, a midwife too, no less. Such an honour to nurture those who nurture others. Feeling very lucky to call this my job.
