I live in Surbiton with two (almost!) grown up children, my lovely partner and our cat. For the last 17 years, I have been an Ofsted registered childminder.   Working with children and families was a wonderful way to stay at home with my own kids while earning a living.  I have loved seeing the children in my care grow from babies to confident school children. Childminding has given me a wide experience of many different babies and children so I’m well equipped to help with any older siblings as well as your new born. 

I am just beginning my journey as a post natal doula.  I am currently mentored; learning and progressing with the support of an experienced tutor before becoming fully recognised.  As a client, you will benefit from the knowledge of the very experienced doula mentoring me behind the scenes as well as my hands on support.

 I decided to train as a post natal doula because the early weeks with your newborn are such a special time but can also be quite challenging.  For many women, this is a brand new stage in their lives.  I want to help women feel confident and enjoy their new baby as they begin their journey together.

 My qualifications include the Younique Postnatal Doula Initial Preparation Course, Paediatric First Aid and Level 3 Safeguarding training.  I am DBS checked, insured and a member of Doula UK.
