Doula Support

Doulas are for every family & every type of birth. Serving Hampshire, West Sussex, Surrey and surrounding areas, I'd love to help you prepare for your pregnancy, birth, & postpartum journey, be present to support you on your birth day and support your family in the transition to life with a newborn baby.
 

£34/h | Postnatal Doula Support

blocks of 12h for £384 or 20h for £600 

Just as I support families in preparing for birth and during labor, I also offer emotional and practical support during the postnatal period. I guide new parents through the early stages of family life by providing essential assistance both day and night. During the day, I can help with the baby, older children, light housework, and cooking. By taking over nighttime feeds, changes, and settling, I ensure you can rest undisturbed, whether your baby is bottle-fed or breastfed.

 

I’m here to support families in whatever way works best for them—whether that’s a few hours a week, or more full-time help over several months. My aim is to gradually step back as you grow more confident in your new role, adjusting my hours as needed. But even when I’m not with you, I’m always just a phone call away for any advice or reassurance you might need.

Unlike a nanny or maternity nurse, a postnatal doula offers more than just baby care. I’m here to nurture and empower the whole family, with a special focus on the mother's needs for successful birth recovery and breastfeeding experience. I’ll make sure you’re well-rested, well-nourished, and always have someone to talk to. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel fully cared for during this special time.

 

Please note that I do not provide medical advice or support sleep training methods that involve leaving your baby to cry alone.


 

Sliding scale £800 - 1200 | Birth Doula Support 

Various payment plans are possible

As your birth doula, I am here to provide continuous, personalised care tailored to your birth preferences. I provide unwavering support, protect your birth space, and offer both emotional and evidence-based guidance throughout labor and birth. This service includes:

  • Personalised antenatal meeting – a one-on-one session to understand your birth vision, answer your questions, and help you prepare.

  • 24/7 on-call support - available around the clock from 3 weeks before your due date until your baby arrives, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

 

This service is ideal for those who feel confident about birth, have minimal anxiety or questions, and have a strong postnatal support system. Additional hours can be booked as needed - whether more questions arise during birth preparation or unexpected challenges come up postpartum (see the Postnatal Doula support above).

I offer birth support on a sliding scale from £800 to £1200, so you can choose the fee that feels manageable and fair for your circumstances. This model allows me to make my support more accessible while sustaining my work—no questions asked, just trust and mutual respect.

£1500 | Birth + Postnatal Doula Support

Various payment plans are possible 

As your birth and postnatal doula, I’m here to provide calm, caring, and continuous support throughout your journey - this offer includes full birth preparation, labour and birth support and postnatal care.

Birth Doula Support: From the moment you choose me as your birth doula, my priority is to help you feel prepared, empowere and fully supported. I’ll be available for any questions, concerns or just a listening ear throughout your pregnancy. We will meet for at least 3 personalised birth preparation sessions, designed to prepare your body and mind for childbirth. Together, we’ll discuss your birth preferences, explore different comfort techniques and build a plan that makes you feel confident and ready.

I will provide on-call support 24/7 during your labor and birth, commencing 3 weeks prior to your due date and continuing until the arrival of your baby. When labor begins, I’ll be by your side - either at home or in the hospital/birthing centre - offering physical, emotional and practical support. Whether it’s a reassuring presence, protecting your birth space or making sense of changing circumstances - my role is to help you and your birth partner feel calm, grounded and empowered throughout the experience.

Postnatal Doula Support: After your baby arrives, I’ll continue to offer support as your postnatal doula, helping you adjust to your new life. Six weeks of postnatal support, including up to10h of postnatal support dedicated to meeting your evolving needs. Whether it's providing assistance with newborn care, breastfeeding support or lending a hand around the house, I’ll be there to provide practical help and emotional support. I’ll ensure you’re well-nourished, rested, and have someone to talk to about anything on your mind. As you gain confidence in your new role, we’ll gradually adjust my level of support, but I’ll always be just a phone call away. 

My goal is to offer personalised, nurturing support that meets your unique needs. From the challenges of labor to the adjustment period after birth, I’m here to make sure you and your family feel cared for and ready for this incredible new chapter.

My everything in Postpartum. When my second baby was born in 2024, I was bracing myself for the chaos, exhaustion, and emotional whirlwind that inevitably follow childbirth. What I wasn’t expecting was to be blessed with someone like Julia — someone who not only supported me, but became my entire village… no, scratch that — ten villages.  From the moment Julia walked into my home, it felt like a wave of positivity had entered with her. Her warm, radiant smile in our zoom interview was the first sign that everything was going to be okay. Without asking too many questions — because she instinctively knew I was too drained to answer — she tuned into my pain points and quietly, powerfully started lifting the weight off my shoulders. Her presence was a perfect balance of support and respect for privacy. She took care of me, my newborn, and my entire family with such grace and deep understanding. Julia motivated me to reach my breastfeeding goals — a journey that brought me immense fulfillment and joy as a mother. And she didn’t stop at encouragement — she coached me, educated me, empowered me. Julia didn’t simply give me answers when I was overwhelmed. She guided me, helped me find my footing, and taught me to trust myself as a mother. In that process, she became much more than a postpartum support — she became a confidant, someone I could turn to not just with baby concerns, but also parenting. Our conversations started with sleep schedules and latch techniques, and soon evolved into discussions about home renovations, parenting philosophies, and the beautiful, messy intricacies of family life. Julia is a woman who genuinely cares, who pours her heart into supporting families during one of the most sacred and vulnerable times in their lives.
I can say with full conviction and all the gratitude in my heart: if you arefortunate enough to have Julia by your side, you are in the best hands. She will help you create not just routines, but beautiful memories with your newborn. She will help you rediscover your strength, and your peace.
