What People Are Saying

It’s hard to put into words what Sarah has meant to our family. She joined us shortly after a traumatic cesarean birth and when our newborn was hospitalised with meningitis. My husband was juggling hospital visits and caring for our 3-year-old, and with little family nearby, those early days were incredibly tough.

Sarah has been our calm in the chaos, celebrating the small wins like me managing a shower or making a cup of tea, and quietly sorting the little things we’d mention in passing (like fixing a wonky photo frame or peeling wallpaper).

She’s become a true friend to our 3-year-old, who adores her and can’t wait to play potions or farms in the garden whenever she visits. Her gentle, motherly presence has made motherhood feel so much lighter, especially without my own mum around.

She’s supported us through everything, from helping us attend a wedding evening knowing both kids were safe and happy, to holding our baby during my husband’s grandfather’s funeral so we could both be present. My husband says having her there brought him real peace of mind, even in difficult family moments.

Now, as we navigate the 10-month sleep regression, Sarah continues to be our steady, caring support. She’s truly transformed our experience of early parenthood, and we honestly don’t know what we would do without her (I wish we had her for my first!!). She’s been our hero. We will forever be grateful for the love, calm, and joy she’s brought into our home.

Sarah is a wonderful person and doula. She cared for me when I had my second child and was with us at the hospital during the birth (by c-section) and then stayed with me for the night after the birth so that my partner could go home to be with our son. She made me feel really comfortable and cared for, and I am so grateful for how she shaped our very positive experience second-time round (especially as we had had a difficult time with our son). Back at home, Sarah quietly learns how to look after you and often knows instinctively what you, as a mum but also as a tired person (!), needs. She also bonded with our son and was able to entertain him whilst I cared for my daughter, which was invaluable when I had them both with me. I highly recommend Sarah if you are looking for a doula!

Beth

Sarah is an absolute lifesaver and amazing support for any new mum. A friend directed me to her when I was in the depths of sleep deprivation, caring for 4 week old twins and a two year old, and after the first session was over I asked if she would still come after the twins turned one.

She is that good.

She gets stuck into whatever tasks need doing to support new mums, from emptying the dishwasher to cooking dinner for the family, looking after babies so mum can have a break and picking up shopping while taking babies out for fresh air. My children adored Sarah and I'm so sad to have moved out of the area as we can no longer see her. Can't recommend her highly enough, she's kind,

compassionate and pragmatic - just what any parent needs when you are knackered and overwhelmed with the stress and pressure a new baby brings.

  • First Time Mummy

    Sarah’s help has been a fantastic companion in our journey as first time parents! She has a holistic approach for her offered support which gives us a tremendous advantage because it gives flexibility and breath to navigate the multiple challenges that come with having a baby. From preparation towards the birth through the birth itself and post-partum support, she is willing to help all the way.

  • Mama of three

    I highly recommend Sarah. She was such a huge support as we faced the transition of 2-3 children (and loft conversion.) Sarah is a hard worker and seamlessly blended in, anticipating what would be needed. She is kind and thoughtful and yet very professional.

  • First Time Mummy

    We highly recommend Sarah for support during birth and postpartum.

    We initially sought out doula support for our birth as my husband has a serious health issues that might have limited the support he could provide me but I would now recommend a doula and Sarah to anyone whatever your circumstances.

    While I originally hoped for a physiological birth and planned for Sarah to be on call to support us through labour and birth, things changed relatively last minute to a planned c-section and so Sarah supported me overnight after birth.

    Sarah’s support was more than just company that allowed my husband to rest at home, she also provided emotional and practical support during that vulnerable first night. She provided a home cooked meal, comfy pillows and fairy lights that made the hospital bay cosy and peaceful. Thanks to Sarah being there I felt supported in refusing unnecessary interventions for both me and my baby that were pushed on me by the postnatal night staff, this included Sarah going and getting my frozen pre-expressed colostrum that the staff were too busy to get from the next door ward. And her encouragement and tips helped me get breastfeeding off to a good start.

    Sarah visited us on our first day home and over the next couple of weeks and was willing and able to do whatever was needed. The early days with a newborn are all encompassing and Sarah just got on and did helpful practical things around the house without being asked allowing me to focus on my baby.

  • Mother of Two

    I’m so happy we found Sarah when we did – when I needed support the most, she would always be there, and she never needed to be told what to do to help; she just knew instinctively. It felt like having a really wonderful friend or relative drop by (the ‘village’ we all are promised?), and she radiated warmth and positivity as she calmly set to work making food and drinks, settling an very angry baby, tidying away bundles of baby clothes and equipment, chatting with me and checking in on how I was doing emotionally, giving me the space I needed to shower or eat or do the most basic self care, offering feeding tips and advice, and even helping me get to grips with taking a newborn and toddler on public transport! Everyone in my house is besotted with her calm energy, and I wholeheartedly recommend her if you’re looking for a doula.

  • First Time Parents

    Sarah is an absolute breath of fresh air. Not only was she incredibly supportive and comforting throughout my pregnancy, with helpful ideas and personalised thoughtful suggestions, but she also has been a most welcome reprieve once our son was born. She is proactive and a very calming influence. She brings a quiet calmness and tranquility to your home so you can relax and feel peaceful in your space. This is such a pleasure with a newborn in particular.

    She has been fantastic with our son and my husband and has been such a wonderful asset to our lives. Sarah has made me feel comfortable when I’ve felt vulnerable and her kind and thoughtful nature has supported us through what would otherwise have been a very stressful and exhausting part of our lives.

    I cannot recommend her services highly enough. She would be an absolute asset to any family. She will bring you a sense of calm and enable you to do what you need with no judgement and a kind and sensitive style. She is worth every penny and more.

  • Mummy to newborn

    Sarah is absolutely lovely. When I was feeling a little burnt out as a new mum, Sarah came to the house for the morning, made me a lovely breakfast, took my baby for a walk, and helped with some house tidying. She even picked up some groceries for me on her way over. Highly recommend.

  • SMBC: Solo Mum By Choice

    Sarah helped me, as a solo mum a couple of weeks after baby Alex was born. She clearly loves children, often talking lovingly about her two and totally 'gets' the support and reassurance a new mum needs. She has great intuition and thinks outside the box. She is very solution focused and 'can do', helping me build confidence and believe in myself. Finally Sarah is just very very capable making stressful situations completely stress-free! I'd highly recommend Sarah.

  • Solo-parenting for the first time

    Sarah helped me out one evening when my husband was away and I just had my 3 month old to myself. She was great with my daughter and when she left I felt calm and relaxed. She’s very easy to talk to and knew just what to do to make a difference.
