Kingston Doula

My original video was 8 minutes long.That’s what happens when you’ve spent years training doulas to support families in one of the most vulnerable windows of their lives. There’s simply so much that matters. But 8 minutes doesn’t quite work for Instagram. So I had to cut it down to 3.

The postnatal period is often underprepared for, underestimated, and underserved. And that’s exactly where YOU come in. If you want to specialise in postnatal care, this is your invitation to get started.

If you’re curious about what postnatal doula training looks like, I’d love to tell you more.

The SW London June 2026 cohort starts soon:

When: June 5, 6, 7 and 13, 14
Where: Kingston upon Thames

💬 Ask me anything in the comments or send me a DM. Let’s talk about how you can starting making the postnatal period better for the families in your community!

Did you ever feel lost at sea after having your baby?

Mothering isn’t easy. So much to navigate. Children’s emotions, partners emotions, not to mention your own emotions. So much to learn, to observe.

Sometimes the intuition comes easily. Sometimes not.

Do you do you remember trying to make sense of it all?

How the sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, worry, and guilt all become so overwhelming that the dots blur, and nothing makes sense? That you wished you had someone to talk to, someone impartial, someone not family, who held you, acknowledged you, comforted you, fed you, listen to you…

Then you can pay it forward and be that person for someone who needs you right now.

If there was a Doula for aspiring IBCLC‘s it would be this woman right here.

Imogen was my cheerleader and virtual study companion as I was revising for my IBCLC exam. We would text late into the night on various issues relating to lactation, specifically ones related to things going on with her baby. Her baby was my greatest teacher. She is a strong and sparky bright light ✨ who came into this world 7 weeks early.

She had feeding challenges that got me researching and learning so that I could support Imogen to optimise her feeding journey and meet her feeding goals. 💪

Now Imogen’s baby is 9 and a half months old and she’s breastfeeding well, as well as enjoying her solids, and thriving. Thank you, Imogen and baby for inviting me into your journey. 🙏
