MummaBaby_space Emotional and practical Post natal support for any new mums in the Surrey and Sussex area

I am a postnatal doula working in the Surrey and Sussex areas in South East England. I have trained in baby wearing, mindful breast feeding, mothers mental health, and postnatal massage. I run a check in service as well as minimum three hour sessions where I support a new mother post birth, signposting, reassuring and nurturing her so she can put her well-being first and bond with baby in a safe space. I am also a developing doula companion to new doulas and the Doula Uk Guildford rep.

Day 24: Celebrating ✨
This chapter is made up of ups and downs, ins and outs, tiny moments and big milestones — all of them worthy of being noticed.
Celebrating means pausing to honour the small wins and the big ones, step by step, just as they come, without rushing ahead.
A postnatal doula is there cheering from the sidelines, holding belief on the hard days and joy on the lighter ones — because once your doula, always your doula.

Day 23: Unloading ✨
Unloading in the postnatal period happens in so many ways — physically and emotionally — and both matter just as much.
It might be emptying the dishwasher, switching over the washing machine, helping with the buggy or the car… or it might be offloading the sleepless night, the unsettled few days, family dynamics, or sibling jealousy that’s been sitting heavy.
A postnatal doula is here for all of it — the practical, the emotional, the spoken and the unspoken — offering a steady presence that helps lighten the load so you don’t have to carry everything on your own.

Day 22: Sorting ✨
When everything feels new and your head is full, even small bits of clutter can feel surprisingly heavy.
Sorting support might look like organising cupboards, baby clothes and maternity wear, setting up nappy caddies and bottle stations, helping with food shops, errands, school or life admin — whatever brings a sense of calm back into your space.
A postnatal doula can gently help you create order in ways that support you, because when your home feels more settled, your mind often follows. A tidy house really can help create a steadier, calmer headspace.

This one’s for you if you’re tiptoeing towards the end of maternity leave and feeling all the feelings — the bittersweetness, the wobble, the pride, the fog, the “how on earth is this going to work?” energy.

This time can feel like an ending… but it’s also a beginning. One where you’ve grown, shifted, softened, strengthened, and learned more about yourself in twelve months than most people do in a decade. And now you get to carry all of that into whatever comes next.

I’ve written a new blog all about this transition — honouring everything you’ve moved through in this first wild, crazy year of motherhood, and offering gentle ways to navigate the return-to-work chapter with more calm and more confidence.

It’s about identity shifts, brain fog, practical prep, emotional wobbles, wardrobe dilemmas (because honestly…), and the quiet, grounding support a doula can still bring as you step from one season into another.

If you’re nearing the end of your mat leave — or simply need to feel seen in this moment of endings and beginnings — make yourself a warm drink and curl up with this one. It’s written for you.

Always here, always in your corner.
Once your doula… always your doula.

Day 21: Menu Planning ✨
Feeding a family in the postnatal weeks can feel like a constant juggle, adding another layer to an already heavy mental load.
Sitting together to plan simple, doable meals for the week — and working out where extra food support might help — can lift a huge weight from your mind.
Menu planning with a postnatal doula brings clarity and ease, helping nourishment feel manageable rather than overwhelming, and freeing up space for you to rest, recover and be with your family.

Day 20: Family Care ✨
When a new baby arrives, the whole family shifts — older siblings finding their feet, grandparents wanting to help, and everyone learning a new rhythm together.
Family care can mean supporting siblings, being mindful of grandparents’ needs, and gently helping you navigate visiting times, boundaries and expectations so your home feels calm and protected.
It truly is a family affair. Postnatal doulas take their place within a family with great care and humility, never underestimating the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home during such a precious and vulnerable time.

Day 19: Grieving ✨
When a baby is born, a mother is born too — and with that can come grief for the woman you were before, and for the version of yourself you’re still learning to become.
Grieving your identity, your body, your freedom or the story you imagined is a natural part of this transition, even when your love for your baby is fierce and real.
Postnatal doulas can hold space for this quietly and without judgement, and can also be an integral part of a mother’s tribe when things don’t go to plan — at any stage of pregnancy or motherhood — offering steadiness, presence and compassion when it’s most needed.

Day 18: Resting ✨
Rest in the postnatal period isn’t a luxury — it’s essential, and it looks different for everyone.
Sometimes it’s time to step back when you’re feeling touched out, or space to take a gentle stretch or short walk, read a few pages of a book, or sink into a long, quiet bath.
Resting support is about refuelling your tank in ways that actually nourish you, while knowing your baby is safely cared for — so you can return feeling steadier, softer and a little more like yourself again.

Day 17: Driving Support ✨
In those early weeks, especially after a caesarean, getting back behind the wheel can feel daunting — yet appointments, feeding clinics and little check-ins still need to happen.
Driving support can mean accompanying you to postnatal check-ups or drop-ins, helping you get out safely and confidently, or popping out together to pick up groceries and essentials.
Every doula has their own boundaries around driving, but many are happy to support you and your baby with gentle, practical help — making the outside world feel a little more accessible while you find your feet.

Day 16: Sleep Support ✨
Sleep in the early weeks can feel fragile and full of questions — where baby sleeps, how you rest, and what feels safest for your family.
Sleep support is about talking through co-sleeping and cot sleeping, understanding best practice around infant sleep safety, and finding gentle ways to protect your rest too through simple sleep hygiene and realistic rhythms.
A postnatal doula offers calm, non-judgemental guidance and thoughtful signposting to trusted sleep experts when needed, helping you make informed choices that support both your baby’s safety and your own wellbeing.

Day 15: Checking-In Service ✨
Sometimes what you need most is a steady pause point — a chance to reflect, ask questions and be gently witnessed as things unfold.
These structured two-hour check-ins at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 20 weeks create space to talk through your baby’s development, your emotional and mental wellbeing, family adjustments, and what’s feeling supportive… or not quite there yet.
After each visit, you’ll receive a thoughtful written report, offering continuity, reassurance and perspective — a nurturing way to feel seen, supported, and to celebrate the progress you and your little one are quietly making together.

Day 14: Walking ✨
A simple walk can feel like such a lifeline in the early weeks — fresh air, a change of scene, and a gentle way to reconnect with your body, especially after a caesarean where slow, steady movement can support healing.
Walking with a postnatal doula gives you space to offload whatever’s on your mind, practise babywearing out in the real world, and potter through little errands together without it feeling overwhelming.
It’s a soft, supported step outside — light movement, fresh air, and the comfort of not doing it all on your own.
