Hi, I'm Kelly
I'm a pregnancy, birth and postpartum doula covering South London, Surrey and Kent — and I love my job, it means everything to me.
I've given birth three times myself, and I've supported all kinds of births since — from preterm home births to emergency caesareans.
Pregnancy, birth, babies, the whole magic of motherhood — I've been drawn to it for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, my dream was to be a midwife. Life took me down a different path for a while, but when my husband retired after 30 years of shiftwork, it gave me the space to chase that dream properly and become a birth worker.
I trained as a doula with Conscious Birthing as well as the Happy Baby Community, and I'm a certified member of Doula UK. I'm also a qualified Hypnobirthing teacher and trained with Katherine Graves.
My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and completely tailored to you — because no two families are the same, and you shouldn't be squeezed into a one-size-fits-all package. I believe every family deserves to feel safe, supported, informed and truly heard, and I'll always show up for you exactly the way I would for my own closest friends and family.
Expect warmth, honesty, a listening ear — and quite possibly a good giggle about whatever's happening on the latest reality TV series.
A Little More About Me
When I'm not with the families I support, you'll find me out on a walk, either in the countryside or exploring a corner of London I haven't discovered yet. I also love to potter in my garden at home where I live with my husband, my youngest son, two cats and my dog.
My happy place is wandering a vintage market or a car boot sale, hunting for treasures for my home and garden.
When it comes to holidays, the Greek Islands have my heart, but going on safari one day is a dream of mine — nature, in all its forms, fills my soul. Music is big for me too, something you may discover with my library of labour playlists which includes everything from chilled classical to disco and soul!
Friends and family are everything to me. That same warmth and loyalty is exactly what I bring to every family I have the privilege of supporting.
How I Support You
Throughout your pregnancy, I'm there for full support — available on WhatsApp whenever you or your partner has questions or concerns, big or small. I'll help you explore your pain relief options, talk through your rights, and work through your birth plan with you. If you'd like company at appointments, I'm always happy to come along too.
When your labour starts, I'm there every step of the way, completely focused on you.
Once your baby arrives, I offer bespoke postnatal care, from light household tasks and preparing meals, to accompanying you on those first tentative adventures out into the world with your newborn.
If you think I might be the right doula for you, I'd love to have a chat. Let's talk about what you need, and how I can support you on this exciting journey.

It was amazing to have Kelly support us through pregnancy, birth and after.
She took the time during pregnancy to get to known us and what was important to us, shared her resources, gave excellent recommendations, and helped us understand the maternity care system and the type of birth we wanted. I was initially nervous about giving birth but after time with Kelly I felt confident and well supported.
Kelly has a real passion for supporting woman through child birth.
Kelly was a great resource to my wife and I as we prepared for our daughter’s birth and in the room as we brought our daughter into the world! Very calm and thoughtful in her guidance.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that meeting Kelly has changed our lives, with her helping to bring our baby girl into the world exactly how we had hoped – with unwavering support, positivity and laughter. Kelly was instrumental in us achieving a home birth, after we hit numerous brick walls due to our postcode/lack of team/funding. Had we not have met Kelly, we almost certainly would not have had a home birth – for that alone I am forever grateful.
Late into my pregnancy, my partner was offered a freelance job out of town, close to my due date. As such, we decided to get a doula on board in case I were to go into labour, so that I would have someone on hand immediately. Prior to that, I thought a doula was an unnecessary expense (for what its worth, I now think it’s possibly the best investment we have ever made). As soon as I met Kelly for the first time, I knew straight away she was the doula for us; funny, thoughtful and perceptive. Having only met once, my waters broke later that week, 3 weeks early. My partner was travelling back from abroad, but though not officially on call for me yet, Kelly came over immediately and stayed with me until my partner returned later that evening. I felt completely at ease with Kelly in my home, and started my labour relaxed and happy!
I had a protracted early labour, with 3.5 days between my waters breaking and baby arriving. Kelly provided a huge amount of moral support prior to established labour, when I was feeling a lot of external pressure to be induced. I have not felt as cared for as an adult as those days running up to the birth – Kelly baked a cake for us, made ceremonial cacao for me, provided massage, breathwork…she even brought over a large paddling pool when we thought our birthing pool wasn’t going to arrive on time! Those quiet moments helped to keep me calm and relaxed and conserve much needed energy. When not at our house, Kelly was always at the end of the phone. In the early hours, the Freya app confirmed I was in established labour and Kelly came over immediately, and kept me calm with more breath work and positions etc before the midwife arrived a little later on.
The birth itself was hard but such an incredible experience, and a lot of that is thanks to Kelly. She intuitively anticipated what I might want/need, and even made up a drink recipe I didn’t get chance to make, to help me through labour. Throughout, Kelly was so encouraging, and I still feel bad at how hard I gripped her hands whilst contracting…she may be small, but she is a force!
I think it’s also important to mention that Kelly worked incredibly well with our midwives. I have been told there can be friction between doulas and midwives on occasion, but this was not the case for us – they were a dream team, respecting each others’ practice but working together throughout. Again, this made for a calm and smooth experience.
Having a relative stranger in your home could be uncomfortable, but Kelly felt like a long standing friend, and I think has become just that. We still see each other and she will remain an important part of our lives as our daughter grows up – I couldn’t recommend more. Thank you, Kelly
