Planning for your baby's arrival? Postnatal support isn't something you have to wait until you need. Getting support in place before your baby arrives means you can build a relationship with someone you trust, talk through what you might need and know who's in your corner when the time comes.

“Sarah stayed with me for the night after the birth so that my partner could go home to be with our son. She made me feel really comfortable and cared for, and I am so grateful for how she shaped our very positive experience second-time around (especially as we had had a difficult time with our son).” - Beth
You don’t have to wait until you’re struggling to ask for support. Becoming a mummy is one of the biggest transformations of your life, and it’s a good time to invest in yourself.
Whether it’s your first time or you have the benefit of experience, there are new challenges ahead, lessons to learn and balance to find. It’s a good time to invest in yourself.
At a time when you may feel excited, apprehensive and vulnerable (sometimes all at once) it’s vital that you feel comfortable, safe and that I’m on your side.
My intention is to prioritise you, your recovery from pregnancy and birth as you navigate sleep deprivation, infant feeding and fluctuating hormones. Through advocacy, relevant information and practical and emotional support, I help you feel calm, grounded and informed.
There are a few different ways I can support you, depending on what you need.

About me
Doula, wife, mummy & dog mum
I’ve been a mum for almost a decade; the biggest transformation of my life and huge learning curve. Halfway through that journey my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Our circumstances helped me realise I wanted to spend my life doing work that truly matters, something I care about, makes a positive difference and supports my family, in 2022 I became The Reigate Doula and I haven’t looked back.
I love all things birth and babies and know this is the role in life I was destined to do.
However I also love to serve, to help and to support families throughout pregnancy, birth and most importantly postnatally; both practically and emotionally. I help as you navigate sleep deprivation, decision fatigue, the daily overwhelm of managing a home and connect with your family. I provide a listening ear, reassurance as well as practical newborn care and household chores, I can give you shortcuts to finding information and direct you to quality local services.
I’m good at noticing the little things that need doing - things that make a difference to how you feel and help minimise stress.
Essentially I want to welcome women to motherhood, whether for the 1st or 4th time and support them as they become a mummy who is grounded, content and connected, whilst keeping both mum and baby’s needs in mind.
In 2026 we welcomed a puppy, Ralph, to the family. He’s an incredibly cute Maltipoo, a fluffy time waster who we adore. Anyone who says having a puppy is like having a newborn is completely wrong! This is far easier, he’s more like an agreeable toddler who can be bribed with chicken.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can book as soon as you know you'd like support. Many mums book during pregnancy so we have time to get to know each other and you know who's in your corner when your baby arrives.
If your baby is already here, it's not too late - you can get in touch whenever you feel you'd like some extra support.
-
Absolutely not. In fact, I love working with mums who choose to put support in place before their baby arrives. We get to know each other, talk about what matters to you and think ahead about the kind of support that will help you feel well cared for.
And if your baby is already here and you're realising you'd like some support, you're very welcome too. You don't need to wait until things feel unmanageable before getting in touch.
-
The support is flexible and shaped around what would make the biggest difference to you that day.
I'm also there to listen, reassure you and help you find reliable information when you need it.
A postnatal doula supports you as well as your baby. I can help with newborn care, feeding, light household jobs, preparing meals, errands and giving you time to rest.
-
I don't currently hold a formal paediatric first aid qualification, although I feel confident responding appropriately in an emergency and knowing when to seek medical help.
My role as a doula is supportive rather than medical, and I would always seek appropriate professional help when needed.
-
I typically offer postnatal doula support families with babies up to 1 year old. If your child is older you may like to consider a monthly subsciprtion for Home & Family Support Services
Book Consultation
You don't need to know exactly what kind of support you need before you get in touch. Book a free, no-obligation consultation and we'll talk through what's going on, what would make life easier and whether I'm the right person to help.
“A doula is a reassuring presence by your side, offering calm, comfort and support. Consider me your temporary friend who you can depend upon for as long as you need me, whilst you transition through life’s biggest transformation.”
Client Testimonials
“It’s hard to put into words what Sarah has meant to our family. She joined us shortly after a traumatic cesarean birth and when our newborn was hospitalised with meningitis. My husband was juggling hospital visits and caring for our 3-year-old, and with little family nearby, those early days were incredibly tough.
Sarah has been our calm in the chaos, celebrating the small wins like me managing a shower or making a cup of tea, and quietly sorting the little things we’d mention in passing (like fixing a wonky photo frame or peeling wallpaper).
She’s become a true friend to our 3-year-old, who adores her and can’t wait to play potions or farms in the garden whenever she visits. Her gentle, motherly presence has made motherhood feel so much lighter, especially without my own mum around.
Now, as we navigate the 10-month sleep regression, Sarah continues to be our steady, caring support. She’s truly transformed our experience of early parenthood, and we honestly don’t know what we would do without her (I wish we had her for my first!!). She’s been our hero. We will forever be grateful for the love, calm, and joy she’s brought into our home.”

“Sarah is a wonderful person and doula. She cared for me when I had my second child and was with us at the hospital during the birth (by c-section) and then stayed with me for the night after the birth so that my partner could go home to be with our son. She made me feel really comfortable and cared for, and I am so grateful for how she shaped our very positive experience second-time round (especially as we had had a difficult time with our son). Back at home, Sarah quietly learns how to look after you and often knows instinctively what you, as a mum but also as a tired person (!), needs. She also bonded with our son and was able to entertain him whilst I cared for my daughter, which was invaluable when I had them both with me. I highly recommend Sarah if you are looking for a doula!”
-Beth
“Sarah is an absolute lifesaver and amazing support for any new mum. A friend directed me to her when I was in the depths of sleep deprivation, caring for 4 week old twins and a two year old, and after the first session was over I asked if she would still come after the twins turned one.
She is that good.
She gets stuck into whatever tasks need doing to support new mums, from emptying the dishwasher to cooking dinner for the family, looking after babies so mum can have a break and picking up shopping while taking babies out for fresh air. My children adored Sarah and I'm so sad to have moved out of the area as we can no longer see her. Can't recommend her highly enough, she's kind, compassionate and pragmatic - just what any parent needs when you are knackered and overwhelmed with the stress and pressure a new baby brings.”
