Leila was the calm in the room. She knew when to speak and when to simply be there, and my partner felt part of it all rather than pushed to the side.

About Leila
A nurse’s training, a mother’s understanding
I trained as a children’s nurse at a London teaching hospital and spent eight years on the wards. Then came my first pregnancy, and months of hyperemesis, and I learned from the other side what kind, informed support means when you feel at your most vulnerable.
That is the support I offer now: evidence-based, trauma-informed and shaped around you and your family, not a script. Three children of my own later, I still think it is the most important job in the room.
Questions
Before you ask
01
What is a doula?
A trained support person who offers emotional, practical and informational support during pregnancy, birth and the weeks after. I don’t provide medical care; I work alongside your midwife.
02
How is a doula different from a midwife?
Midwives provide clinical care. A doula offers continuous emotional and practical support, focused on your wellbeing, comfort and experience.
03
When should I book?
Most families book in the second trimester once they know they’d like extra support, but do get in touch at any stage, including after the birth.
04
Do you support partners too?
Absolutely. Helping partners feel confident, informed and included is a big part of what I do.
05
Can we work together online?
Yes. Antenatal sessions, feeding support and relaxation sessions all work well over a video call.
06
Is the first call really free?
Yes. Thirty minutes, no obligation, so we can both see whether it feels like the right fit.
