Mum & baby

Would you like to feel prepared for when your baby is born?

Before settling in the UK, I spent two years in Houston, Texas, working as an au pair for a lovely family with three young children. It was during this time that I truly discovered my passion for nurturing and supporting others through the early stages of family life. With my daughters being grown up and independent, I’m able to ensure my commitment to you, providing continuity of care and establishing a relationship where you feel secure and heard.

TAILORED FOR YOU

Postnatal Support in West Sussex and Surrey


Feeling overwhelmed after birth? As a postnatal doula in Surrey and West Sussex, I'm here to care for you so you can truly settle into motherhood with practical, emotional and feeding support that helps you heal, bond and feel held.

The 4th trimester is just as important as the birth itself, and I know that asking for help can sometimes feel tough. That's where I come in. In a calm and friendly way, I'll make sure you get the rest you need to heal and reconnect with yourself, while I take care of those overwhelming background tasks.

Every family is different, so we'll chat about what works best for you so you can simply focus on enjoying this special time with your baby.

This is how you will feel with postnatal support:

You will feel seen and heard
Matrescence, the transition into motherhood can be overwhelming at times. I'll be there, for you to share whatever’s on your mind. Whether it’s concerns, fears, or joyful moments, I’ll be present to truly listen and support you emotionally.

You will feel supported
As you settle into this new chapter, you may have moments of uncertainty, but you are not alone. I’ll be there to gently encourage you, offering reassurance and helping you build confidence in your abilities as you care for your new born.

You will feel rested
Your rest and healing are just as important as your baby’s care. I can help with light household tasks and errands so you can focus on resting, bonding and recovering physically and emotionally.

You will feel held
I can offer guidance as a trained Breastfeeding Peer Supporter, helping with latch, positioning and understanding feeding cues. I’ll also ensure you stay nourished and hydrated by keeping your snacks and drinks topped up. If you’re bottle feeding, I’ll guide you with pace feeding and the benefits with how this supports your new born.

You will feel calm
From light organising to meal prep, I’ll take care of the practical bits so you can focus on your baby and your well-being.

You will feel safe
Taking time for yourself is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. Whether you want to take a relaxing bath, enjoy a proper shower and a hair wash, catch up on sleep, or simply have a moment to breathe, I will lovingly care for your baby so you can recharge.

You will feel comfortable to ask for help
If you need further professional or specialist help, I will assist you in finding the right resources and support services, walking alongside you every step of the way.

Peaceful Beginnings caring for a new born while parents sleep

Night Doula Support in West Sussex and Surrey - £300.00 - (9pm-6am)

Getting proper rest after birth doesn't have to feel impossible. As your night doula, I'm here to provide that calm, supportive presence during the night time hours, so you can truly recover and restore yourself.

Birth asks so much of your body and those early weeks are about gentle healing and adjustment. Perhaps your partner has returned to work, or you're finding the nights particularly challenging. It's easy to forget to look after yourself when you become a mother, but this is exactly when you deserve care the most.

That's where I come in...

My role overnight is to care for your baby with the same calm attention you'd give yourself, allowing you to sleep knowing your little one is safe and well looked after.

Here's how I might support you during the night:

  • Caring for all of baby's needs while you rest.

  • Bringing baby to you for breastfeeds, or managing bottle feeds completely if you choose.

  • Offering gentle, hands-off breastfeeding peer support or help with pumping.

  • Changing, winding and settling baby after feeds.

  • Keeping you comfortable with drinks and snacks.

  • Preparing and sterilising feeding equipment ready for the morning.

Would you like to talk your ideal support through with me? We will also arrange a face-to-face meet up to help you secure your decision.

Chantal helped make the first few months so much easier and allowed me to do the basics of looking after myself when I couldn’t prioritise it. She has helped a very tired family enjoy bits of the first year that we wouldn’t have been able to without her! Even down to eating lunch with both hands!
