In-Home Doula Support
Personalised in-home postnatal doula support for new mums and families.
Flexibility is key when becoming a parent, having options to best suit you and make your life easier.
As well as offering online support, you are able to arrange in-home support.
Maybe baby is arriving, or maybe baby is already here and you feel an extra pair of hands is exactly what you need.
To get your through the newborn fog and haze, to a time when you are feeling differently, doula support acts a bridge. A bridge when you are confident of your choices and feeling in your flow.
TESTIMONIALS
What others mums are saying
"April took such lovely care of my baby (and me!) when I've been finding postnatal days tough recently.
Highly recommend for any pregnant/postnatal mums or as a gift if you know one! "
-Anna Uzel
"I had April as a Doula to support me in the first eight weeks postnatally. I had a really complicated emergency C-section. Having that extra support made a huge difference to my recovery both physically and mentally.
It was like having a warm hug in my house every time I saw her. I felt really supported and safe with her.
She’s a fantastic cook and makes such delicious food and she’s happy to support and help however you might need. I highly recommend April as a postnatal Doula.
Thank you so much for everything."
- Victoria Bates
“April was very friendly, caring and empathetic. In the early days when I was unwell, she gave me the space I needed and was very caring.
She was also very knowledgeable about my illness and researched lots of resources for me”
- l.O Donovan

" You can’t pour from an empty cup "
Something I say to the mums I speak to.
Here's why...
If you are running on empty you have nothing to give.
As a doula, I look after you, mum, first so you are best placed to look after your baby.
So you are not running on empty.
Support is personalised to your own situation, where you want to get to and how it can best support you. It's also flexible so it changes to match how you are feeling as the weeks go on - because how you are feeling on week 2 is different to how you will be feeling on week 10.
Please note that in-home support is for mums in South London & Surrey. If you are out of these areas do still ping me a message to see if the area is do-able or if I can help in another way.
