Nurturing Doula Care
Pregnancy, birth and having a newborn baby is one of the most transformative and important events of your life. It can be a wonderful and beautiful journey, but it can also be a steep learning curve and unpredictable. You deserve to feel empowered, confident and supported during this special time.
Currently navigating NHS maternity services is not an easy path to walk alone. 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, supported and prepared.
I have cared for hundreds of families and supported them through the journey you are on now. Offering you continuity of care, evidence-based guidance, reassurance 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.
You are welcome to book a free video call with me. It’s a great opportunity to have an informal chat about my doula services and ask me any questions before you book care, partners welcome.

About Cheryl
I’ve spent over two decades working in maternity and healthcare – in paediatric nursing, as a midwife, midwifery lecturer, and eventually as a private independent midwife. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through some of the most extraordinary and life-changing moments they will ever experience.
I'm deeply passionate about preparing parents for birth and parenthood. I love teaching hypnobirthing, antenatal education and biomechanics for birth – all powerful tools to help you feel calm, confident, and in control.
Alongside this, I bring over ten years experience of both providing breastfeeding support and as a qualified massage therapist, with additional training in the safe use of aromatherapy during pregnancy and birth.
