What A Doula Is (and Isn't)

A doula offers emotional support, reassurance and continuity throughout pregnancy and birth. We can help you feel more grounded, more confident, and more supported — without replacing your NHS midwife or clinical team.

We do: provide emotional support, listening, confidence building, support for birth partners, practical signposting, helping you feel prepared.  

We don’t: provide medical advice, clinical care, diagnosis, or make decisions on your behalf.

“Up to 8 hours” — what that means
To keep things safe, fair, and affordable:

The birth-support clock starts when your doula arrives at the agreed birth location (home or hospital), or at the agreed “active support start time” (whichever you define in advance).
The clock ends at handover/exit (for example: when you are settled post-birth, or handover to partner/support person, or discharge from labour ward area – agreed in advance).

If you’d like more time than 8 hours, we can offer additional hours (subject to doula availability and an agreed rate) – with a pre-agreed cap so you’re never surprised by costs.

Best for

You want someone you know by your side on the day
You want continuity through pregnancy and labour
You want calm, steady emotional support when it matters most

Boundaries and Safety

This is non-clinical support alongside your NHS team
Your doula supports emotional wellbeing and advocacy – not medical decisions
We set clear on-call expectations and backup options before your due window
