Nurturing Doula Care
Navigating current NHS maternity services is not an easy path to walk alone. Pregnancy, birth and having a newborn baby can be a steep learning curve and unpredictable.
With over 10 years experience working as a NHS and independent midwife and over 20 years in healthcare, I’m here to help you feel heard, held, safe, supported and prepared.
I have cared for hundreds of families and supported them through the journey you are on now. Offering them continuity of care, evidence-based guidance, reassurance, compassionate care and kindness.
While hospital staff rotate shifts, as your doula I remain by your side — a steady, experienced, reassuring presence from beginning to end.
Women who invest in doula support often describe feeling more confident, more at ease, and more positive about their birth experience. Because the way you feel during birth matters.
Birth is not just a medical event. It is a profound life transition. The right support shapes not only the experience itself, but how you carry it with you long after.
If you are thoughtfully curating your birth team and desire consistent, experienced, heart-led support, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

Breastfeeding
Support
I have over ten years experience as a practising midwife supporting mothers with breastfeeding their babies.
Having experienced, consistent and nurturing breastfeeding support in those early newborn days, provides the strong foundation to having a successful breastfeeding journey ahead.
Breastfeeding Education
Breastfeeding education is essential in giving you and your baby the best start on your breastfeeding journey.
Breastfeeding education helps you feel confident and prepared by teaching essential skills like positioning and attachment, recognising feeding cues, and managing common challenges
About Cheryl
My name is Cheryl and I've spent over two decades working in healthcare - in paediatric nursing, as a midwife, a midwifery lecturer, and eventually as an independent midwife.
I've had the privilege of supporting families through the most extraordinary and beautiful moments of their lives.
Somewhere along the way, I fell completely in love with a different kind of care, doula care.
Because doula support allows me to be present with you in a way that NHS clinical care rarely allows. No handovers. No shift changes. No system to answer to. Just me, beside you, for your whole journey.
