Hi my name is Jenna and I’m an experienced birth and postnatal doula working in Surrey and South West London.
Why the minimalist doula?
Well I think there is a lot of noise surrounding birth and motherhood, a lot of voices and opinions and stories and often to prepare for a positive experience it’s more about making space for your own voice and your own thoughts so you can feel confident enough to listen to them and trust yourself to birth and mother your way.

‘Getting in contact with Jenna was one of the best decisions I have ever made. After two complicated and fairly traumatic hospital births I was extremely anxious about delivering my third baby. Jenna helped me to process the previous trauma and get myself in the best possible mental place before labour. She supported me through my panic on the day, and was a hugely reassuring presence for my husband. Thanks to Jenna, I had a swift, straightforward and redemptive home birth. The experience couldn’t have been better and we couldn’t have done it without her!’

What my Mamas say…
“Jenna was a wonderful doula throughout my pregnancy and the birth. Her positive and calm approach helped me stay focussed on the baby and she was by my side, taking deep breaths with me during contractions. I delivered VBAC successfully, quickly and happily. Thanks Jenna! x”
— Ting, mother of two lovely children
“Jenna was amazing! Emotionally she listened to how I was feeling and reassured me a lot. Physically she made me some delicious nourishing meals, looked after Ella so I could sleep...We also did some yoga together one session. Jenna’s style was very relaxed and she put me at ease very quickly. Jenna was a huge support to me after Ella arrived and felt like a big sister who knew what she was doing. It was so lovely to be taken care of when I felt so vulnerable.”
— Kate & beautiful Ella
“Jenna has been an absolute privilege to not only meet, but to have as my doula. I couldn’t have wished for anyone more perfect. She was so very nurturing and spiritual, yet down to earth...an absolute rock at a time when I felt very vulnerable. Words cannot describe the strength she pulled out of me, to create the birth experience I wanted. I sincerely wish she had been at all my births! My partner found her amazingly supportive and my children adored her! She will always hold a special place in our hearts and I can throughly recommend her...thank you Jenna! ”
— Sara & Steve, parents to six beauties
“Jenna didn’t make choices or decisions for me. She allowed me to make my own and stayed with me whilst I went through the process of trying to figure that out... she didn’t judge me, she held me... and in late pregnancy it turns out that this is a really rare and beautiful gift ;)”
— Olivia, mama to gorgeous Finn
“Jenna was the keystone to my amazing homebirth experience; her calming presence, loving support and experienced guidance was valued by all and made my daughter’s birth incredibly special and completely stress-free.’”
— Clare, gorgeous mama of three stars
“I came across Jenna’s profile online when I was 7 months pregnant, the support from her for my partner and I was invaluable, she immediately calmed my mind and helped me to feel confident in my body’s abilities. She was by my side throughout my whole labour whether it was to rub my feet, put cool flannels on my face or just hold my hand, her calming presence and words of encouragement got me through when I wanted to give up.”
