GENTLE GUIDANCE FOR BIRTH AND BEYOND
ABOUT ME
Hello, I’m Grace, a mother to two wonderful daughters who each came into my life through extraordinary paths, through adoption and surrogacy. My journey to motherhood has been non-traditional, shaped by resilience, love and the kindness of others. These experiences have given me profound empathy and a deep respect for the many ways women and families grow.
Supporting our amazing surrogate throughout her pregnancy and being present at my daughter’s birth ignited something powerful in me: a desire to stand beside women through one of life’s most transformative experiences. I saw how vital it is to have someone listening and advocating for you with compassion.
That’s what inspired me to become a doula. I offer calm, nurturing and evidence-based support to women and families through pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period. My approach is gentle, inclusive and grounded in empathy; ultimately ensuring every woman and parent feels safe, informed and supported as they transition into parenthood.
Based in Norwich, I support families across Norfolk and surrounding areas, offering both in-person and virtual care. I trained with BirthBliss and am a pediatric first aider.
ANNA
“My third pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience was full of life-changing moments which Grace helped us to navigate beautifully. During the pregnancy, I could genuinely unburden myself and trust her with my needs.
You can focus your energy on your pregnancy and birth, and be confident Grace will be an advocate and spokesperson for you.”
SERVICES
I provide a range of doula services designed to bring reassurance, confidence and emotional grounding, tailored to each family’s individual needs. My approach is intuitive and flexible, adapting to your preferences where necessary.
Birth Doula Support
Continuous, one-to-one care throughout pregnancy, labour and birth. I help you prepare for your experience, offer comfort and advocacy during labour and remain by your side as you welcome your baby into the world. I support all types of birth, including at home, in a birth centre or on a labour ward. Whatever your plan, I’m here to help.
Postnatal Doula Support
Gentle, practical and emotional care in the weeks after birth. I support your recovery, help you find your rhythm as a new parent and ensure you feel nurtured and confident during this special transition. This includes practical help in the home, holding the baby while you nap, establishing feeding and anything that helps you in this fourth trimester.
Virtual Doula Support
For those outside Norfolk or preferring online connection, I offer virtual sessions covering birth preparation, emotional wellbeing & postnatal support, creating space for reassurance wherever you are.
All services begin with a free, no-obligation chat. A chance for us to connect and explore how we can best work together and develop a bespoke support package.

INITIAL MEETING
A free, 30-minute meeting, either in-person or virtually, to discuss your needs and discover if we’re a good fit for one another.
BIRTH DOULA SERVICE
From £1,250
My birth doula package is designed to provide continuous emotional, practical and informational support throughout your pregnancy, birth and early postnatal period. Together, we’ll build trust, confidence and a shared understanding of your wishes so you feel calm and supported every step of the way.
During our two antenatal sessions (each around 2 hours), we’ll explore how the body is beautifully designed to give birth, including the hormones that support labour and how to work with your body’s natural rhythms. We’ll discuss your birth preferences, exploring locations, comfort measures, pain relief options and possible interventions so you feel informed and prepared for every outcome.
If you’ve given birth before, we can reflect on previous experiences - celebrating what went well and gently unpacking anything that felt difficult - to help you approach this birth with renewed confidence. We’ll also talk about your postnatal care preferences, covering feeding, newborn care, emotional wellbeing and support systems to ensure you feel ready for life with your new baby.
I’ll be on call from 38–42 weeks, offering reassurance, practical guidance and advocacy during labour and birth. Following your baby’s arrival, I provide two postnatal visits for debriefing your birth experience, feeding support and continued emotional care. You’ll also have ongoing phone and WhatsApp support throughout pregnancy and for two weeks after birth.
I work collaboratively with your wider support team to ensure clear communication and continuity of care, so you always feel seen, heard and held.
POSTNATAL SERVICE
£25 per hour | Up to 4 hours per day
The weeks following birth can be as transformative as the birth itself - a time of healing, adjustment and new beginnings. My role as your postnatal doula is to help create a calm, nurturing environment where you and your family can settle in, rest and find your rhythm together.
I’ll come to your home to offer emotional and practical support that makes daily life a little easier. This might include light household tasks, preparing food, taking your dog for a walk or entertaining older children so you can have some precious time to yourself. I’m also there to care for your baby while you nap, shower or simply take a moment to breathe.
Alongside the practical help, I provide emotional support and reassurance. Listening without judgment, celebrating your wins and offering guidance around feeding and newborn care. My aim is to help you feel confident and supported during this special transition.
We’ll work together to find a routine that feels right for you, whether that’s a few days a week or more regular visits. Above all, I’m committed to walking alongside you during this unique and tender time, offering care that adapts to your needs and honours your journey into parenthood.
