Hi I’m Anna, providing birth, postnatal and bereavement support in North London, North West London, West London, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas.  I’m a Recognised postnatal doula, and am a member of Doula UK.

The birth of your baby or babies is an exciting time. I would love to support you during your pregnancy, birth and in the early days, weeks and beyond with your baby or babies, whether it is your first or fourth.

I can help you with practical and emotional support. I can also help you navigate the sometimes confusing advice that you may receive, by providing you with evidence-based information and help you find the parenting style that suits you and your family.

I am also trained in bereavement support. I have supported families after pregnancy and baby loss and the loss of a child. I have also supported parents after the loss of their own parent, particularly mothers who do not have the support of their own mother during pregnancy and the postnatal period.

Ultimately, my role is to support mothers and the whole family in any way that I can in order to help the transition to becoming parents of a new baby or babies. My aim is to empower a new mother so that she feels confident to care for her baby or babies and make decisions about the care of her baby or babies, while feeling able to manage household tasks and generally feel positive about her new role as a mother.

“Anna came to us when our second daughter was only two days old. She was invaluable in allowing me to get those precious hours of sleep in the first weeks while she cared for my baby. She also helped keeping the house in order and providing nutritious meals. This completely changed my second experience with a newborn and helped with a quicker and smoother recovery. Anna is very caring, kind and soothing with the baby and we very much welcomed her calm and non judgemental presence.”

“Anna’s support with my newborn was so valuable. Anna did not dictate as to how to parent however she provided advice whenever asked. Anna’s approach was to empower rather than take over which is what I really valued.  Anna had a very gentle good way with my baby. Definitely recommend Anna as a postnatal doula.”
