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.

‘This morning finds me back in hospital, waiting for my regular blood tests — a familiar pause that reminds me of the strength and resilience of our bodies.’

Back from a cathartic time in Devon, I’m stepping gently into home life — reconnecting with clients, meeting new mums, and preparing to return to the breastfeeding drop-in. Motherhood, work, and life all weaving together in their own ways.

Some shifts happen in the quietest spaces.
Yesterday, it was me, Dad’s kayak, and his favourite rock.
In motherhood, it might be you, the baby finally asleep, and a few deep breaths.
The waves don’t take the hard stuff away — but they carry it differently, until it feels just a little lighter.
Where can you find more space to breathe a little deeper?

Morning sea.
Salt skin.
Slow breath.
A quiet pocket of peace, savouring the stillness before autumn arrives in a rush. 🌊✨

Thriving Through Postpartum Single Parenting

Being a solo parent in the early days? It’s intense, beautiful, exhausting, and brave. You’re doing the work of a whole village — but you don’t have to carry it alone. Here are some gentle ways to thrive, not just survive:

✨ 1. Build your own village (your way)
Support might look like WhatsApp chats, family dropping meals, or online mum groups at midnight. Let connection in — you deserve support.

🤍 2. Say yes to practical help (and emotional care)
Whether it’s a neighbour folding laundry or friends chipping in for a Doula UK voucher — say yes. A postnatal doula can offer nourishing meals, calm company, and a safe space to offload. You don’t need to do it all.

🧠 3. Choose one small thing to feel in control of
Make your bed. Write down one thing you’re grateful for. Light a candle at the same time each day. These tiny rituals can help you feel grounded when life feels chaotic.

👣 4. Get outside (even just to the doorstep)
Fresh air is a reset button. A short walk with the pram, a cuppa in the garden, or just opening a window while feeding — it helps more than you think.

📦 5. Keep a ‘done’ list instead of a ‘to-do’ list
Feeding, comforting, soothing, surviving — it all counts. At the end of the day, jot down what you did. It’s probably a lot more than you realise.

Remember: this is not about doing it all — it’s about being held, too. You are not alone and

This message from a newly recognised doula companion landed in my inbox this week.

This work we do is tender, it’s mighty, and in those early days of doulaing, it can feel like you’re holding your breath, hoping you’re doing it right.

That’s exactly why I became a companion for new postnatal doulas. Not to teach from a pedestal, but to walk alongside you, debriefing after those first clients, reflecting on the emotional load, and reminding you (again and again) that you’re doing brilliantly, even when it feels wobbly.

I truly believe doulas need holding, too. 💛

And speaking of holding space — I’ve been working on something really special behind the scenes. Something designed especially for doulas to lean in, rest, trust, and remember why you started.

More soon ✨ but if you’re a new doula needing a soft place to land, I’d love to be that for you.

I honestly think food can change everything in those early days.

Just in that gentle, steady, soul-holding way.

A warm bowl of something hearty when you haven’t eaten properly all day…
A snack you can grab with one hand while feeding…
A stocked freezer that takes the pressure off just for a bit…

This is one of the parts of postnatal doula life that I love the most — cooking for new mums. Nourishing you, not just the baby. Helping you feel a little more held, a little more human, when the days (and nights) blur into one.

I deliver home-cooked meals, snacks, and freezer-fill ups — all made with love and thought for what your body and mind might need to heal, recover, and keep going.

Sometimes care looks like soup on the doorstep, banana muffins by the bed, or a meal that doesn’t need you to do anything but sit and eat it!

Me and my girl 💜
The last few months have been… tricky. Grief has a way of reshaping things—softening some parts, making others feel jagged, like walking on broken glass, and while I’ve been navigating it as a mother and daughter, she’s been walking her own path through it as a teenager. A path that has looked and felt so very different from mine!

It’s been hard at times to find each other in it all.

But this summer—slow mornings, beach time, unplanned afternoons, the odd shared snack and shopping spree, planning to try new thing together —it’s giving us little windows of reconnection. Not always perfect, not always easy, but real.

I’ve had to face a lot of discomfort with my role as a mother, as well as navigate a crisis of confidence while recognising triggers I didn’t appreciate until this phase snuck around! Parenting has felt like a giant microscope on all my insecurities, and I’ve had to show up and do the work, and that will always be ongoing!

I’ve realised this week that Motherhood is like the sea. In the beginning, they cling to you like the shoreline but as they grow, the tide shifts, sometimes crashing in with love, sometimes pulling away into their own currents. However, there is always, always, a rhythm beneath it all like a deep knowing that no matter how far they drift, you’re still the tide they come home to x

I’m very aware how challenging teenage parenting can be at this time so if this resonates, send me a 💜 as I would love to connect x

You’ve done the classes, chatted about birth plans, compared pram notes and joked about perineal massage… but now the babies are here. And real postnatal life? It’s often messier, lonelier, and far more emotional than the group chats can prepare you for. We only know what we know, and we can often feel vulnerable when we are adapting and adjusting to a huge life change, like, er, well, having a baby!! NCT is a great foundation to build on, for a new mummy social life but here are a few more tips on how to navigate;

🧡 1. Stay connected (but be real)
Some NCT groups become soul-sister circles. Others drift. Both are okay. If you’re not vibing with the chat, you’re not alone. Find your people — the ones who meet you where you’re at, not where you “should” be.

💛 2. Don’t compare — connect
Some babies sleep through. Some don’t. Some parents are baking banana bread at 10am, some haven’t showered in 3 days. Behind every filtered photo is a human doing their best. Let comparison go and lean into compassion (for yourself too).

💬 3. Say the real stuff out loud
It’s okay to say you’re struggling. That you feel flat, touched out, or unsure. Vulnerability invites connection — and chances are, someone else is feeling it too.

💆🏻‍♀️ 4. Bring in extra support if you need it
NCT gives you the basics, but the reality of postnatal life needs a village. A postnatal doula can offer rest, guidance, food, and reassurance — a steady presence when you’re finding your way.

🌱 5. Redefine what your village looks like
Maybe your NCT group becomes your tribe. Maybe your support comes from a neighbour, a sibling, or a local doula. The right support doesn’t have to look a certain way — it just has to feel safe, nourishing, and real.

Because after the course ends, the real work begins. And you deserve to feel held and safe through every part of it

Held. Heard. Nurtured.

I’ll let this lovely testimonial do most of the talking…
It means the world when a client describes me as calm, compassionate and nurturing — because that’s exactly how I hope every parent feels in my care.

Postnatal life can be a whirlwind. Sometimes what we need most is someone to come alongside us — quietly, gently, without judgement — and just be there.

Whether it’s holding the baby while you rest, batch cooking meals, supporting feeding, or simply listening as you talk through your birth story… this work is about holding you as you hold your baby.

To the families who welcome me into their homes and hearts — thank you. It’s an honour, always.

✨ If you’re looking for this kind of calm and compassionate support during the early days, I’d love to chat. My diary from end of August is open and ready to welcome beautiful new mummas and families.

✨ NEW BLOG ✨
Let’s be honest—travelling and long summer holidays with little ones is not the same as it used to be. Gone are the days of grabbing a book, throwing a bikini in a bag, and hoping for the best…

Now it’s snacks, sleep routines, passports, prams, and enough changes of clothes to survive a toddler apocalypse 😂

This month’s blog is for you if you’re planning a summer getaway with your minis and just want a few reassuring, real-life tips to help you feel a bit more prepared (and a bit less panicked!) or if you are just in need of some reassurance as we approach a change in routine and hot weather!

This blog is calm, gentle, mum-to-mum advice to help you feel good about heading off—whether it’s a staycation, long-haul flight, or just a day trip to Grandma’s.

🌿 Let’s check in. 🌿

The first 20 weeks (and beyond) can feel like one long blur of feeding, sleeping (or not!), emotions, hormones, tiny milestones and big feelings. ✨

That’s why some regular gentle check-ins can feel like such a relief.
A safe space to pause and ask:

💛 How’s baby doing?
💛 How are YOU doing?
💛 How’s the family adjusting?

We can chat about feeding, sleep cycles, your mental wellbeing, your recovery, developmental stages, your relationship shifts — and all the little things that are swirling in your head at 3am.

💬 Sometimes you need practical advice.
💬 Sometimes you just need to cry and be heard.
💬 Sometimes you just need a cup of tea and a gentle reminder: you’re doing better than you think.

✨ This is your motherhood. You deserve to feel supported. ✨

If this sounds like something you need, I’m here when you’re ready — for the chats, the reassurance, and the holding space. 💕

🤍 The early days with your baby aren’t just about feeding, nappies and sleepless nights. They’re also about you — your healing, your emotions, your adjustment. 🤍

Often, once the visitors stop coming and the ‘congratulations’ quieten down, mums are left carrying so much — caring for a newborn while trying to heal and adapt themselves. And if there are older children at home, the juggle grows even bigger.

Postnatal support can be so powerful.
A postnatal doula is there to gently hold space for you — to help you rest, to listen, to nourish you, to reassure you, and to be that voice of encouragement, telling you that you are not alone in this season and your an amazing mum. 🌿

It is too easy to forget that your wellbeing matters just as much as your baby’s, and that’s what I’m here to remind you x
