I truly believe that all birth is beautiful;

be it a hospital birth or a homebirth, it is my duty as a doula to honour your desires and guide you in what’s best for you and your family. I know just how important the day you birth your baby will be and I am passionate about doing my upmost to ensure that you feel empowered, confident and held throughout your journey.

I will be your trusted and compassionate supporter, your female companion and confidant who will always have your back, should you need it. That consistent care which will carry you through pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Over the years, I have learnt that my doula package below has the perfect balance of antenatal education, personalised support and postnatal guidance. I am always flexible to suggestions, but please know from experience, this is a great place to start!

As your doula, I will…

  • Support the choices of you and your partner and be your advocate and cheerleader.
  • Work in collaboration with midwives and medical teams, facilitating unity and alignment.
  • Do all I can to create a calm and soothing environment, to bring your birthing vision to life.
  • Be mindful of your senses; I’m a non-smoker and non-drinker who’ll avoid stinky foods when on call!

Locations I cover are: Crawley, Copthorne, Horley, Reigate, Redhill, Dorking, Horsham, East Grinstead, Forest Row, Southwater, Billingshurst, Brighton, Hove, Lingfield, Haywards Heath, Uckfield, Cuckfield, Lindfield, Burgess Hill, Epsom, Oxted.

“Maria is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also one of the kindest, warmest and most compassionate people we have ever met. Looking back, I truly cannot imagine our birth without her. She brought calm, reassurance and love into one of the most unforgettable days of our lives. If you are considering having Maria as your doula,
I cannot recommend her highly enough.
She is an extraordinary person, and we will always be grateful that she was part of Luna’s birth story.”
