Samantha Rae

I will be your birth companion who will walk alongside you for much longer than just your labour journey. I provide evidence based information, a non-judgmental listening ear and practical, physical and emotional support during pregnancy, birth and the newborn days.

We know that women and birthing people benefit massively from continuity of care and a constant companion at birth, which makes so much sense doesn’t it? Whilst I am beyond grateful for the NHS we can’t sugar coat the current state of our maternity system, and a huge part of my role as a Doula is to help you navigate your way through that.

I have been supporting parents in my role as an Antenatal Teacher since 2021, also offering 1-2-1 support throughout pregnancy, birth and beyond. I had been waiting until my daughter was old enough for me to be able to support families in this way, and the time is now. It’s an absolute calling, and I am so excited to be here.

I am non judgemental, pro-choice and very happy to support hospital births, as I do not believe Doulas are only needed at home. I birthed my daughter on a labour ward and would have loved a Doula by my side.
