Birth & Postpartum Doula

Your journey, your choices, your birth

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are seasons of profound change.
Each one brings new experiences, questions and transitions, inviting us to prepare, adapt and grow.
A doula offers steady emotional, practical and evidence-informed support, creating space for you to feel informed, prepared and confident in the choices that feel right for you.
Every birth is unique, and the support you receive should honour your individual journey, your choices and the birth experience that feels right for you.
The intention is to help you prepare with confidence, create a calm birth environment, and feel nurtured as you transition into postpartum and life with your baby.

Paola was my doula through an unexpectedly high-intervention birth and I am sooo grateful I had her by my side. Paola has the most calming presence that helped me stay calm and centered and her guidance helped me to feel empowered when making tough decisions along the way. Paola’s support since the birth has also been key in processing and accepting my birth story. Paola is also the most incredible cook and her delightful treats kept me nourished and feeling wholesome through my time in hospital and postpartum. The cherry on top was receiving a Closing of the Bones ceremony from Paola 6 weeks postpartum. It felt incredible to be the recipient of such tender care and it was a key moment for me in accepting my birth story and embracing matrecense. Thank you so much Paola for all your nourishing gifts along this journey. I am forever grateful.

Thank you for your support over those 3 weeks. The food has been absolutely incredible… I’m eating the last of the salad at the moment! All so delicious and knowing it’s helping to nourish my body as it heals and I adjust to new baby has been amazing. Having your presence in the home to be able to help was something I thought was lacking last time for me as I was figuring it all out by myself and not feeling like I had any real physical support and practical help. And in the way that you/doulas offer. Your listening ear and words of encouragement and reminders to soak up my baby and bring it back to me and my body was what I needed to hear. I am grateful for the extra touches (essential oil, perineal spray and foot soak etc) and really looking into tailored ways to support my specific needs with supply and iron etc. The body work was amazing to have that physical touch when you feel like your giving so much of your body to the baby and so tense in shoulders and neck with breastfeeding and holding baby was such a release. And taking time with the rituals to honour such a significant period of birthing and early postpartum has been a blessing to be held by you x

“It was very special to have Paola’s support during the birth of my second son, Leo, and in the first 6 weeks postpartum. Paola is an incredible person – she provides love, comfort, reassurance, relaxation and amazing nourishment during a life transition that can be one of the most intense and overwhelming periods. I felt that I managed Leo’s birth and enjoyed those early weeks so much more thanks to Paola’s support. Thank you Paola”. – Emily

“I had the pleasure of having Paola guide me through my post natal yoga journey and I cannot recommend her more highly. Paola creates a warm, welcoming & honest space, free of any judgement or pressure, with a focus on nurturing the body & calming the mind (whilst taking screaming babies in her stride!). Thank you for making me feel stronger & happier post baby Paola x”. – Susannah G
