Doula

Congratulations on your pregnancy ! as a south london doula , i can offer my support and guidnace to help you through this wonderful journey . whather you need assitance during pregnancy , labour or postpartum i am here to provide the care and nurturing you and your partner need to ensure a positive expirence .

How can I support you ?

As your Birth Doula I can help you explore a more holistic and positive approach to pregnancy and labour. I aim to provide you with all the information you need to make informed decisions and experience a positive pregnancy and birth.

As your Doula, I will provide flexible and continuous support before, during and often after your child is born. I can nurture and assist you through your pregnancy, collaborate with a partner to provide support while your child is being born, and give encouragement and advice to help establish breastfeeding.

We will make an individualised support plan to help you get ready for birth by; preparing birth preferences, discussing options and choices during pregnancy, labour and post birth, such as pain relief, and breathing techniques.

I am passionate about holding space for you to have the birth YOU want, as well as helping you to feel content and empowered about the birth experience you ultimately will have.whether you are embarking on this journey by yourself or with a partner. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your journey!

“What would we have done without you! Tamar was such an integral part of the birth of our second baby, who was born at home in a pool, despite being breech! From planning and supporting our discussions around birth choices to creating our birth plan, supporting meetings with healthcare professionals, and ensuring the birth was everything we wanted it to be, then following up with glorious postnatal visits and check ins, all with an utterly calm, non judgemental and wise presence that made us feel completely safe and confident, no matter how things had turned out. Tamar was completely dedicated and committed to us as a doula and we would want her there for any future births! Thank you for everything.“

“Tamar was our doula for my second birth which I had at home and honestly I think we couldn’t have done it without her. She really cares about your birth experience, listening to what you envisage and has a positive and empathetic approach. I immediately felt comfortable with her during our ante-natal sessions, became a lot more positive and confident as she guided us through everything that needed to be considered from birth plan and preferences to logistics on birthing pool setup and practicalities to childcare for my toddler and dog-care!
On the day, Tamar was a calming presence, reassuring and supporting both my partner and I throughout plus she gives the best pain relieving massage!!
Choosing someone to support you in one of the most physically challenging yet wonderful life event isn’t easy however I highly recommend Tamar and I’m so thankful she was part of my birth experience.”

The Shared Care packege £2500

I also offer an option of shared care with my doula partner Martha Noble. Shared care is a way that doulas work together to bring our complementary skills and experience to the table.

We will attend every antenatal appointment together and you get to know us well, so that when you call us in labour, you will be supported by someone who you trust and with whom you have developed a relationship.

If we are both free when you are in labour, and you choose to do so, then we can also both come to support you during your labour and birth. It also means that, should you have a long labour, we can “tag team” and you can get a “fresh” doula to support you.
