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.

🌸Surrey Perinatal Professionals … let’s get outside and chat🌸

Come and join us for a relaxed walk & talk.

This is a casual space for perinatal professionals to meet, share stories, build relationships, and strengthen our local referral network.

ā€˜ā€™I am part of a legacy of women supporting women.
My work is woven into something timeless and beautiful.ā€

Because that’s simply what doula work is.

Women supporting women. Mothers holding mothers. Sharing what we know, sitting alongside one another, making tea, feeding people, listening, reassuring, laughing, sometimes crying… and reminding someone that they don’t have to do all of this alone.

None of this is new. Women have been doing this for generations.

Perhaps we’ve just given it a job title.

One of my Space Between affirmation cards — little reminders to pause and notice the meaning tucked into the ordinary moments.

And this one reminds me why I do what I do.

I am embracing autumn as my cue to become the woman who drinks warm things, eats dhal and starts talking about her nervous system.šŸ˜‚

My new blog My Real-Life Ayurvedic Practice for Autumn is now up on my website and Septembers newsletter should be arriving in your inbox bright and early this morning, all with an emphasis very much on real life. No perfect routines. No 5am enlightenment. Just the bits of Ayurveda I am actually starting to use, adapt and occasionally completely ignore!

Anyone else feel the urge to slow everything down once September arrives?

šŸ Read via the link in my Stories or in my profile and comment below with any other Ayurvedic tips and tricks! I’m here for it! X

The first Friday of the first week back and, according to the version of me who existed approximately two weeks ago, I should now be incredibly organised, wildly productive and basically a whole new woman.

See list above. šŸ˜‚

Instead, I’ve mostly been trying to remember what day it is, where everyone needs to be and why the summer holidays suddenly feel like they happened in 2023.

There’s something about September that seems to make us think we need to emerge from summer with a new pencil case and an entirely new personality!

Anyway. We made it to Friday.

I’m calling that productive!

02/09/2026

Apparently there is still a face behind this profile, so I thought I’d pop on and show it!

It’s been a while since I’ve actually talked on here, and after a lovely/busy/slightly chaotic summer of working, mothering, juggling all the things and occasionally wondering what day it is, it felt like a good time to reconnect.

I’ve also FINALLY managed to get some updates onto my website (it’s never too late right?!) There are now some new resources available to download:

šŸ„„ Practical Weaning Support — straightforward, useful help for navigating the wonderfully messy world of starting solids.

šŸ’— Mumma Unfiltered: Navigating Postpartum with Illness or Cancer — something particularly close to my heart, offering honest, practical support when new motherhood is happening alongside illness, treatment or recovery.

And there’s more in the pipe line, including a bottle feeding resource currently bubbling away in the background

I want to keep creating resources that are actually useful, that new parents and families can use at home independently, not another 47-page document to download, save somewhere and never look at again

So have a nose, download what might help, send them to a mum who might need them and PLEASE tell me what you think.
What would you like me to create next?

And hello again šŸ‘‹šŸ» It’s nice to be back on your screen rather than hiding behind a carousel, even if it did take 653 takes!

SELF CARE ✨ | The Space Between

September always feels like a little space between for me

Kids head back to school, familiar routines return, and summer loosens its grip. Did you know, in the old Celtic calendar, this is a threshold season? It’s no longer quite summer, but not yet autumn. So maybe we can just notice the changes rather than rush into the next thing.

My natural response to September is always to get organised, but this year, I’m really trying to start slowing down and encourage my clients to do the same, by looking back at the summer we have just had; The ordinary days, the lovely bits, the difficult bits, the memories made without even realising they were becoming memories.

Wherever you are in motherhood though, your season may look completely different.
Perhaps you’re expecting a baby and beginning to turn inwards, nesting and preparing your home and heart or maybe you’ve recently discovered you’re pregnant and September marks the beginning of a completely new chapter.Perhaps you’re waving children through school gates for the first time and finding a little more space for yourself again.

This week’s Space Between card is SELF CARE.
Just a reminder to notice what you need as the season begins to shift.

Go gently into September. šŸ‚

These affirmation cards are available to buy on my website / link in usual spot! X

My favourite spot this week, and probably where I’ve spent most of this trip, writing.

Finally, there has been something about having actual space this summer that has got me writing properly again. Less procrastinating, less overthinking whether something is good enough, and just getting the words down.
Turns out all I needed was a Tuscan hillside, a shady tree and absolutely nobody asking me what’s for dinner!!

Completely achievable to recreate at home, obviously! 🤣

I think this Sturgeon Full Moon and lunar eclipse season — traditionally associated with reflection, letting go and working out what we actually want to carry forward, has made me think more about what comes home with me. Sadly, probably not the view. Or the w**e. Or someone appearing with an Aperol Spritz when I ask.

But hopefully the writing does.

More structured time to write. More focus on my Substack, Between Feeds & IVs and the Doula Diaries. More exploration of The Space Between; motherhood, doula-hood and survivorship, and all the identity shifts that happen somewhere amongst it all.

I’m also trying to stop waiting for the perfect time, the perfect sentence, the perfectly tidy house or the mythical day when my to-do list has nothing on it.

Because apparently that day isn’t coming.

So perhaps this is my post-eclipse promise to myself:

Just write.

At home and In the mess and in Between everything else.

Although preferably, occasionally, under a tree in Tuscany!

There is something about an early morning beach, but here’s a little reminder, peace isn’t always found by the sea.

For new mums, sometimes peace looks like someone holding the baby while you shower, making you lunch, listening without judgement, or giving you permission to simply rest.

Postnatal support isn’t a luxury. It’s the space to breathe, recover and find yourself again.

Wishing you a little moment of calm today, wherever you are.

Once your doula, always your doula.

July has been a magical, if a bit sticky, mixing bowl of my worlds of motherhood and doula’hood.
Weaning, introducing bottles, baby wearing, sensory play, cooking, puree’ing and blending, first aid courses, studying and sharing ideas with my doula gang has met with taxi’ing teens around, early morning dog walks, beach days, time on the yoga mat for my sanity, a quick trip to Poland that we are still processing and lots of mummy daughter shopping!

It’s taken me a while to adjust to the juggle but summer heat can feel unsettling and scattered and I am learning that that is ok. It’s helped me reassure and chat to my clients who have been feeling overwhelmed and out of control. The heat has been another layer on top of what every mum is already juggling, and though the summer is bright and full of energy, it’s still ok to rest and take our time.

Happy weekend everyone xx

Today’s menu?

Not for a Michelin critic…
But For someone who thinks broccoli belongs in their eyebrows and aubergine splatters make their jumper look catwalk ready!

One batch-cooking session = weeks of homemade purƩes ready to grab from the freezer, with far less stress for you.

I can sit down with my client and work out what purƩes or first meals they might like. We will use weaning books if they have particular favourites, or want to try a certain weaning specialist. I can support with signposting, extra support, workshops and education. And, If there are older siblings to consider, we can work on menu planning for the whole family.

Future You is going to be very grateful. ā˜ŗļø
