Rachel supported us around the birth of our first son, and although she wasn’t able to attend the birth itself due to an unexpected early Christmas Day arrival, her care and presence before and after made a world of difference. From our first meetings, she was warm, intuitive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She listened deeply – not just to what we said, but also to what we didn’t. There were moments when I felt low or tired, and she would sense it and gently offer exactly what I needed, sometimes before I even realised it myself. Even though she couldn’t be at the birth due to timing (our baby had other plans!), the preparation we did with her beforehand helped us feel informed, calm, and empowered to navigate the experience on our own as best as possible. Afterwards, she visited us more than originally planned, holding the baby so I could rest, talking through how we were adjusting, and even preparing the most delicious breastfeeding snacks, which I still make to this day. She’s incredibly kind, calm, and generous with her time and wisdom. It’s such a shame she wasn’t there at the birth itself – we know she would have been brilliant and made a huge difference – but everything else she brought to our journey more than made up for it. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Rachel to any new parent.

Rachel was the biggest help to us at probably our most anxious time post partum. We had some amazing professionals look after us through giving birth to our first son – from midwives at the hospital & in the community, to health visitors, to lactation consultants etc – Rachel’s warmth, expertise, support and practical advice in terms of breastfeeding sticks out miles above the rest. She has the ability to put you at ease pretty much instantly (and even better – same with my baby who I didn’t think knew how to fall asleep in someone’s arms, but could manage with Rachel!) She also lets you see the small wins as big celebrations through the immediate anxiety, as well as providing extra education and tips in a way that she makes sure aligns with what you’re trying to achieve. I’d recommend her to anyone to get a bit more sanity and support during the post partum haze, it was one of our best decisions to get in touch with her and I am 100% sure we, as a new little family, are in a better place than we would have been because of her. I can’t overstate the value of her kind nature & the reassurance her experience brings. Thank you Rachel.

We cannot recommend Rachel highly enough! She made such a huge impact on our experience as new parents. Rachel’s expertise was invaluable as we navigated newborn life, and my positive breastfeeding journey was hugely thanks to her! She has such a kind, gentle manner which made us feel immediately comfortable with her around. She was excellent with our daughter and I trusted her entirely with her. As well as all her incredible practical postnatal assistance, she was a huge support to me emotionally during the postpartum weeks. Her genuine compassion and empathy made her very easy to talk to and I will miss our chats! We can’t thank Rachel enough for making our newborn journey such a positive one!

We were so fortunate to have the support of Rachel and Sarah as our postpartum doulas in the first few weeks after our daughter, Winona, was born. They were an incredible help and gave us the opportunity to rest and recover, and we felt comfortable knowing that Winnie was in very capable and caring hands. They were so attentive to her needs, and their gentle, nurturing approach was exactly what me and my husband needed during that overwhelming time.
We’re so grateful for their kindness, warmth, and support. They both truly made those early days feel a little less daunting, and being able to catch up on some sleep from time to time was invaluable!
If you’re looking for dedicated, compassionate doulas, we couldn’t recommend Rachel and Sarah more highly.

We couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more patient and informative Doula. Rachel truly made my first pregnancy more enjoyable and empowered me to advocate for myself throughout the final months. Overdue, Rachel went out of her way to reassure us, keep me positive and most importantly calm. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive doula during those final few weeks of pregnancy and first few weeks postpartum after a few health complications during the birth and straight after. We really felt that Rachel went beyond our expectations and that she was a huge part of welcoming our son into the world. We would really recommend Rachel to any first time parents! We are very lucky to have found and get to know Rachel.
