East Surrey Hospital Birth Doulas
The Reigate Doula primarily supports women postnatally following a surgical birth at East Surrey and Epsom maternity hospitals. Providing companionship, reassurance and encouragement at your bedside on the postnatal ward, day or night alongside practical and physical support you need managing a newborn whilst recovering.
I know a Caesarean isn’t the birth every woman needs or wants. However due to my family circumstances at this time I am unable to support the spontaneity that a physiological birth deserves. You can find a doula near you on the Doula UK directory but these two wonderful humans deserve a mention as I have worked closely with both and know that I personally would feel safe to have either of these women in a birth space.
Donellla Gunnell
From the moment I met Donella, I knew I wanted to call her a friend. She has an unwavering gentle kindness and is someone who radiates love. She’s a great listener, calm and honest. She would be an asset to any birth team.
Donella is a peer supporter at The Lemon Drops Infant Feeding Support in Oxted. She’s trained as a mindful breastfeeding practitioner with Anna Le Grange.
Victoria Kenney
The Wellbeing Doula
I first met Vicky when I was volunteering at Cafe Milk. We connected immediately and I would always feel such a great energy from the sessions when we worked alongside each other. I was so excited when she said she wanted to become a doula I knew immediately she’d make a wonderful one.
Victoria offers a unique focus on prioritising your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. With her by your side you’ll be nourished, supported and cared for.
