Empowering families with knowledge, confidence & practical help
Hi, I’m Kelly, a dedicated pregnancy, birth & postpartum Doula based in Selsdon, Surrey. A proud Mum to two grown-up sons, Step Mum to two more, and now a Nanny to my beautiful Grandson.
A bit about my interests, I love to cook from scratch and bake cakes, but mostly so I get the biggest piece! Catching up with my family and friends with long walks and pub lunches. I love listening to all types of music or a funny, inspiring & interesting podcast. I love long summer days but equally the cold, dark nights in my Pyjamas watching a good drama or zoning out to some dire reality series!
I have a natural passion for pregnancy, birth, babies, and the magic of motherhood.
I trained as a Birth Doula with Conscious Birthing in Dorset and am a certified member of Doula UK.
My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and tailored to meet the needs of each family I support. I believe in making the experience as relaxed as possible, and ensuring your needs and wishes are met.
I offer full support throughout your pregnancy, available on WhatsApp to chat whenever you or your partner have questions or concerns. I can help you explore your pain relief options, discuss your rights, and assist with preparing your birth plan. If you need extra support, I’m happy to attend appointments with you too.
When it comes to your birth, I’m there to support you every step of the way, providing hands-on care.
After your baby arrives, I offer bespoke postnatal care, including light household chores, preparing meals, and accompanying you on your first outings with your newborn.
If you think I’m the right Doula for you, give me a call, and we can discuss your needs and how I can help you feel fully supported on your journey. I look forward to being a part of your special experience x

Golden Hour Support
The first moments with your baby are precious. I’ll stay for as long as needed after birth to help protect your golden hour, assist with feeding, and ensure you’re comfortable in your new baby bubble before I leave.
Ongoing Postnatal Support
Phone, WhatsApp, or email support from pregnancy through to 4 weeks postpartum.
A 2-hour postnatal home visit (a day or two after birth) to provide extra doula care, debrief your birth, assist with feeding, and address any concerns.
A further 10 hours of postnatal care in your home to be booked to suit your needs.
Becoming a new mum is both beautiful and exhausting, and it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I offer postnatal home visits to provide the care and support you need during this transition. Whether you’d like to chat through your worries, have a nourishing meal prepared, or simply rest while I care for your baby, I’m here to help.
My support is tailored to you and can include looking after older children, walking the dog, light housework, and meal preparation. Think of me as a fairy godmother—someone who listens, helps, offers guidance, and looks after you so you can focus on bonding with your baby and recovering from birth.
We don’t always have nearby family or friends to lean on, and the combination of sleepless nights, hormonal shifts, and emotional ups and downs can be overwhelming—whether it’s your first baby or your fifth.
Sometimes, you just need reassurance that you’re doing okay. I can also accompany you to appointments, support you on your first outings, and provide encouragement every step of the way.
Most parents book DISCOUNTED blocks of 12 hours for £300, but I also offer flexible care in 3-hour sessions (£30 per hour) to fit your needs.

Doulas can prevent trauma by providing practical, emotional and nurturing support to the whole family during pregnancy, labour and after the birth of a baby. By offering information, and promoting self advocacy doulas give confidence which can be very empowering in helping people to expect safe and respectful maternity and postpartum care.
How Doulas Reduce the Risk of Trauma
The benefits of continuous support during labour and birth were highlighted in a Cochrane review, which analysed data from 26 studies across 17 countries involving more than 15,000 women. The following outcomes were observed for women and birth parents who were given continuous support from a doula or labour companion.
● More likely to have a vaginal birth (without the need for caesarean, forceps or vacuum extraction)
● Less likely to use pain medications
● More likely to have shorter labours
● More likely to be satisfied with their birth and postnatal experience
● The babies may be less likely to have low five-minute Apgar scores, which assess babies’ health and well-being at birth and shortly afterward
● Increased equity directly through improved women’s empowerment and provision of culturally responsive care, and indirectly by reducing the over-medicalisation of childbirth
● Increased likelihood of initiating and establishing breastfeeding
A difficult labour, lack of support, an unplanned caesarean section or emergency treatment for the mother/birth parent or baby can contribute to the risk of experiencing trauma.
Doula support can therefore reduce the risk of experiencing perinatal trauma.
It is never too early to book a Doula but usually from 24 weeks is a good time.
Babies are only born once! No, you can not put a price on your well being and feeling supported in your pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through my pregnancy and birth without Kelly. From the moment we met, she felt like a trusted friend—someone who truly listened, reassured me when I had doubts, and celebrated every little milestone with me.
I didn’t have much family support during my pregnancy, and that made the journey feel even more overwhelming at times. But Kelly stepped in and filled that space with so much care and kindness. She was always there—whether it was answering my late-night texts, checking in just to see how I was feeling, or reminding me that I was strong and capable when I felt alone.
During labor, Kelly’s presence became absolutely invaluable. She knew exactly what I needed—sometimes even before I did. Her gentle words, calming touch, and unwavering encouragement helped me stay focused and trust my body. She was there for my partner too, making sure he felt supported and involved.
Looking back, I can’t imagine my birth experience without her. Kelly made me feel safe, empowered, and truly cared for at a time when I needed it most. I am forever grateful for her kindness, wisdom, and support. If you’re looking for a doula who will go above and beyond, Kelly is the one.
