Supporting Birth and Holistic Postnatal care all over London. I am passionate about breastfeeding and birth physiology.
I am Zarina and I love sharing my knowledge, experience and expertise with all of you lovely parents.
Being a mother to five beautiful grown ups and a new Nan to three gorgeous grandchildren brings me so much joy and happiness.
Ever since I can remember I have always loved babies, even more so, after the birth of my very first child.
My need to provide better care than I had received was so important as I knew it had to be better than it was. My fifth child was born early and suffered with severe reflux and I had no idea where to turn for help. This experience made me determined to support breastfeeding women so I did the LLL course locally, somehow providing this support to new mums healed much of the pain I had endured with my own breastfeeding journeys.
I am grateful to have helped many new mums both in hospital and at drop in centres back then. Becoming a Doula was second nature after this as supporting mothers has always been a priority for me. After supporting many births while raising my young family, postnatal care fitted in well with my own commitments and I managed to serve many women in the community who needed me.
However deep within me I always felt I needed to offer more… during covid I remember watching a video of a baby receiving treatment for pain, the practitioner was placing their hands on a few points around the abdomen, in that instance I contacted the provider as I wanted to learn how to do this as it was the best way to treat a newborn in a gentle manner for these ailments which I now understand are more to do with the type of birth experience.
The Centre for Doulapathways was the right place where and I was shown how to implement this amazing Fascia Touch for pregnant mums and newborns during the most vulnerable moments.
As your Doula : Birthkeeper : Birth Companion I am happy to support you whichever way you feel safe to birth your baby. I can help you understand and offer all of the information you may be searching for to make the process easier for you to navigate during your pregnancy.

Zarina looked after me and our baby with a kindness, wisdom and warmth I will forever remember. She is incredible with babies and incredible with new mothers – helping navigate the emotional rollercoasters alongside all the pragmatic challenges of early infancy and postpartum life. Cannot recommend more highly

Zarina helped us during a tricky time with our twin boys. I was unwell struggling with low mood, sadness and loneliness stuck at home. My partner Lou found her for me, I was not sure and did not trust many. However with her I began to trust again, she was kind, compassionate and understanding. I started going for walks and pursuing my passion for running again with her support.
I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone…plus she cooks up a banging daal!

Zarina was the doula I never realised I needed! Having given birth to twins, I was trying to navigate motherhood for the first time whilst recovering from a c-section, Zarina came and helped me step by step. She discussed ways in which we would not only look after the twins, but how I would look after myself. We talked through various different strategies from feeding, sleeping, mummy time and even partner involvement. Zarina is exceptionally knowledgable and comes with a wealth of experience. I remember the twins going to sleep in the evening and her running me a flower bath with essential oils and some background music to help me relax. I felt completely comfortable with her being around as it wasn’t just about the babies, it was about me too. Thank you Zarina for all your help during this new phase of my life. Highly recommend Zarina and her doula services
