Meet Kathryn 💖✨ Kathryn • Doula + Hypnobirthing in Cornwall
📍 Devon & Cornwall

Kathryn is a doula, hypnobirthing practitioner, yoga teacher and infant-feeding peer supporter who brings a beautifully calm, grounded and body-led approach to pregnancy and birth.

🌿 Birth support & hypnobirthing
🧘 Yoga, breathwork & connection with your body
🤱 Infant-feeding peer support
💖✨ Twin mum with her own lived experience of motherhood
✨ Supporting birth partners to feel informed, confident & genuinely involved

What makes Kathryn’s approach particularly special is the way she brings mind and body together.

Drawing on her experience teaching yoga, she helps parents connect with their breath, bodies and intuition- practical tools that can be incredibly valuable as you prepare for birth and navigate the intensity of labour.

Kathryn is also passionate about helping partners understand birth too, so they can move beyond simply being present and feel confident in how they can offer meaningful support.

As a twin mum herself, she also understands first-hand that pregnancy, birth and early parenthood don’t always fit neatly into one version of what this journey is ‘supposed’ to look like.

Her approach is warm, reassuring and empowering whilst helping you feel informed and supported while keeping you and your individual family at the centre of your care.

Meet Evanjelene 💖✨
📍 South West London

Evanjelene is a birth and postnatal doula and maternity nurse whose philosophy centres around something beautifully simple: mothering the mother.

🌿 Antenatal, birth, postnatal & overnight support
💖✨ Culturally sensitive care tailored to your family
🍲 Nourishing postpartum meals inspired by Asian traditions
🤱 Breastfeeding, newborn care & practical postnatal support
✨ Homebirth, hospital birth, caesarean & VBAC support

Inspired by postpartum traditions found across Asia and other cultures, Evanjelene believes the first weeks after birth should be a time when mothers are nourished, rested and cared for, rather than expected to simply bounce back and get on with life.

Coming from a mixed cultural background herself, she particularly understands that feeling of “missing home” and the care that might traditionally have been provided by mothers, aunties and extended family.

So alongside emotional and practical doula support, Evanjelene can bring another form of nurturing into the home: food.

She prepares warming, nutritious postpartum meals and teas, helping to stock freezers before baby arrives or keep families well fed afterwards, because nourishing the person who is nourishing the baby matters too.

Her support can begin antenatally with birth preparation, physiology, interventions, positions, advocacy and postnatal planning, continue through birth, and extend into those early weeks and months with feeding, baby care, overnight support and much-needed opportunities to rest.

Meet Lisa 💖✨ Lisa Le Touze
📍 Burnham, Buckinghamshire & surrounding areas
🇫🇷 French speaking

Lisa is a mum of three whose own very different birth experiences- an emergency caesarean followed by two VBAC births- helped shape the doula she is today.

🌿 Birth & postnatal doula support
💖 Personal experience of caesarean birth & VBAC
🤰 Passionate about informed choice and helping parents feel in control
🫶 Emotional, practical & nurturing postnatal support
✨ A mum of three who understands just how much support new parents can need

Looking back at her own transition into motherhood, Lisa realised that although every birth had been different, one thing remained the same: she could have done with more support. That experience now sits at the heart of the care she gives other families.

During pregnancy and birth, Lisa helps you explore the choices available to you, find the information you need and feel positive and confident about making your own decisions.

And her support doesn’t stop once baby arrives.

Lisa knows those first weeks can be wonderful, emotional, exhausting and overwhelming- sometimes all within the same hour! Her postnatal care is about nurturing the new parent too, whether that’s through emotional reassurance, practical help or simply being a steady presence while you adjust to your new family.

Her philosophy brings to mind the proverb she loves: “It takes a village to raise a child.” Sometimes, finding your doula is the beginning of building that village. 💖✨

Meet Agustina 💖✨ Doulatina_birth_doula
📍 London
🌎 English & Spanish speaking

Agustina describes her greatest doula superpower very simply: listening.

Passionate about physiological and undisturbed birth, she supports women to quieten the outside noise, understand their choices and reconnect with their own instincts- while having someone firmly in their corner throughout pregnancy and birth.

🌿 Experienced birth doula & birthkeeper
💖 Passionate about physiological, undisturbed & home birth
🤰 Support for VBAC, caesarean birth, freebirth & pregnancy after loss
🧘 Rebozo, biomechanics, acupressure & holistic birth support
✨ Evidence-informed guidance & support navigating maternity services

Agustina’s approach isn’t about directing your birth or bringing her own agenda into the room.

Instead, she takes time to understand you- your hopes, fears, previous experiences and what you need to feel safe and strong.

Before birth, this might mean exploring your options, unpacking a previous difficult experience, understanding birth physiology and helping your partner feel genuinely prepared to support you.

During labour, Agustina offers a calm, continuous presence: protecting your space, providing physical and emotional support and helping you navigate conversations and decisions if your birth takes an unexpected turn.

And if it does? The support doesn’t disappear. For Agustina, an empowering birth isn’t simply one that follows the original plan. It’s one where you remain seen, heard and part of the decisions being made about you and your baby.

Meet Yas 💖✨ Birth Beautiful ®
📍 Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire & London- with support further afield too

Self-confessed birth nerd Yas offers something increasingly difficult to find in maternity care: genuine continuity.

From pre-conception and pregnancy through birth and those early months at home, she builds a relationship with you, gets to know what matters to you and stays alongside you as your journey unfolds.

🌿 Fertility, antenatal, birth & postnatal doula support
💖 Extensive education in maternal & newborn healthcare, birth physiology and holistic care
🤰 Experienced across homebirth, VBAC, breech, caesarean, multiples & highly medicalised birth
🧠 Mental health, neurodiversity, biomechanics, hypnobirthing & infant feeding knowledge
✨ Antenatal education, birth planning, newborn care & parenting support

Yas can support an uninterrupted physiological homebirth while also helping families navigate complex pregnancies, obstetric theatres and higher-risk care, always looking for ways to protect physiology, connection and informed choice within whatever circumstances arise.

And while Yas has an impressive depth of knowledge, her role isn’t to make decisions for you. It’s to help you cut through the noise, understand the evidence, explore your options and feel confident making choices that reflect your values, your circumstances and your family.

Her support can begin long before birth and continue afterwards too- through feeding, newborn care, sleep, recovery and adjusting to life as a new family.

Clients describe Yas as calm, practical and incredibly knowledgeable, but perhaps most importantly, as someone who stays.

Meet Angela 💖✨ Mother Nurtured Doula, Antenatal, Baby & Placenta Services
📍 Thornton-Cleveleys, supporting families across Blackpool, Wyre & Fylde, Preston, Lancaster and surrounding areas

Angela offers something particularly special: full-spectrum support through the many transitions of womanhood… from pregnancy and birth to pregnancy loss, motherhood and menopause.

🌿 Birth, postnatal & overnight doula support
💖 Hypnobirthing, antenatal education & birth preparation
🌸 Pregnancy and birth-loss support, shaped by her own experiences of miscarriage
🤱 Baby massage, baby yoga & introducing-solids support
✨ Reiki, postnatal massage, Closing the Bones & 3 Step Rewind support

Angela’s own experiences of birth and pregnancy loss inspired her to become a perinatal educator and doula, and she went on to establish a local miscarriage support group with support and training from the Miscarriage Association.

Angela supports hospital births, home births and freebirths, while helping parents understand their choices and feel empowered to make decisions that are right for them. Her support can then continue well beyond birth, through recovery, feeding, baby care and the emotional transition into parenthood.

For families looking for someone who can bring together birth education, doula care, holistic wellbeing and genuine continuity, Angela brings a wealth of experience to the journey. 💖✨

Meet Yevan 💖✨ Yevan | Doula | Yoga Teacher | Yoga Nidra
📍 Harrow, North West London, also supporting families along the Metropolitan & Jubilee lines

Yevan brings something beautifully distinctive to doula care: birth support, yoga and deep rest- helping parents feel more at home in both their bodies and minds as they move through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

🌿 Birth, antenatal, postnatal & overnight doula support
🧘🏾‍♀️ 200-hour yoga teacher specialising in Yoga Nidra
💖✨ Passionate about nervous system care, rest and emotional wellbeing
🌸 Support for home and hospital birth, pregnancy after loss and families navigating previous trauma

What makes Yevan particularly unique is the journey that brought her here. After 30 years in the corporate worlds of fashion, music and hospitality, perimenopause prompted her to completely reassess her life. Time spent at a detox retreat in Thailand and an ashram in India helped her reconnect with herself- and ultimately led to a new purpose supporting families.

Now a mother of three and founder of Sacred Birth and Flow, Yevan combines practical doula care with relaxation, breathwork and Yoga Nidra, creating a space where there is no pressure and no expectation to birth or parent in a particular way.

She is particularly passionate about being in the corner of women who may otherwise feel unheard or overlooked, helping them understand their options, trust their instincts and feel safe, seen and supported. 💖✨

Meet Sam 💖✨
📍 Guildford, Surrey & surrounding areas

Sam is passionate about something we don’t talk about nearly enough: mothering the mother after birth.

A qualified postnatal doula since 2018, her work centres around creating the time and space new mothers need to heal, rest, process their birth and find their feet- particularly once the initial flurry of visitors and congratulations begins to fade.

🌿 Postnatal support
💖 Particular experience supporting families through postnatal mental health, PND, PTSD and birth trauma
🎗️ Specialist postnatal cancer support, informed by her own lived experience
🤱 Babywearing, mindful breastfeeding peer support & postnatal massage
✨ Trained in Makaton signing, including supporting babies with Down syndrome

Her own experiences of motherhood alongside significant health challenges have shaped her understanding of rest, recovery, nutrition and holistic support. She also offers TBR 3 Step Rewind trauma support and structured postnatal check-ins that consider not only baby’s development, but a mother’s emotional wellbeing, self-care and physical recovery too.

Sam also co-runs a local Motherspace group, creating that all-important village where new mums can connect, talk, create, drink hot tea (with homemade cake!) and simply have somewhere they can exhale.

Meet Nikki 💖✨ Nikki Bridges | Leeds Birth Doula | Breastfeeding Support
📍Leeds & West Yorkshire

Nikki is passionate about helping families feel genuinely prepared for birth- not by trying to control exactly what will happen, but by understanding their options, knowing their rights and feeling confident making decisions as their journey unfolds.

🌿 Birth & postnatal doula support
🤱 Breastfeeding counsellor & peer supporter
🏡 Special interest in home birth & freebirth
💖 Experience supporting VBAC and twin births

Nikki believes that “going with the flow” doesn’t have to mean going into birth without a plan. Instead, Nikki helps families explore their preferences, understand the choices they may encounter and think through different scenarios- so if birth takes an unexpected turn, they feel better equipped to navigate it.

Alongside birth support, Nikki brings particular knowledge and passion to breastfeeding and the postnatal period, offering continuity as families move from preparing for birth to actually holding and feeding their new baby.

Her approach is about giving you evidence-based information, practical support and a steady person in your corner, while keeping the decisions firmly where they belong: with you. 💖✨

Meet Kwesia 💖✨ City Girl in Nature✨aka Kwesia
📍 London

Kwesia is a mother, qualified doula and passionate nature advocate who believes families deserve support that nurtures the body, mind and spirit throughout pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

🌿 Doula support rooted in nature and holistic wellbeing
💖 Passionate about supporting young mothers and families
🌱 Inspired by her own home-birth experience
✨ Committed to addressing inequalities in maternity and early family life

Kwesia’s journey has been shaped by her own experiences of challenge, motherhood and personal transformation. After a life-changing expedition to the Peruvian Amazon introduced her to the healing power of the outdoors, she created City Girl in Nature to help people from inner-city and marginalised communities build their own connection with nature.

Her work as a doula brings these passions together. Kwesia hopes to help expectant parents prepare for birth while creating opportunities for mothers and families to experience grounding, breathing practices, outdoor connection and other forms of holistic support.

She is particularly passionate about supporting young and Black mothers, raising awareness of inequalities in maternity care and helping families discover nurturing spaces in which they can feel seen, restored and connected.

Kwesia’s approach is a beautiful reminder that support can extend beyond preparing for birth- it can help families find confidence, community and a renewed connection with themselves and the world around them. 💖✨
