Hi, I’m Carly!
I’m the founder of The Doula Club and a total birth nerd living and working in Haringey, North London. I’m passionate about childbirth.
I came to birth work nine years ago after having my first child. It profoundly affected me, and I quickly realised that I wanted to support other parents on their journey into parenthood.
I'm now the mother of three. I had one baby in a labour ward, one in a birth centre at Homerton Hospital and one at home. I've experienced the whole spectrum!
I’m also an experienced doula, antenatal & hypnobirthing teacher, and pregnancy yoga teacher.
My vast range of experience means I offer a unique insight into pregnancy and birth. Being a doula and supporting real-life births has transformed my teaching and means I have a deep understanding of the physiology of birth and how to navigate a complex maternity system like the NHS.
Underpinning all of my work is my passion for your birthrights - "you're not allowed" and "we don't let you" are phrases we hear far too often.
Working with The Doula Club will leave you informed and allow you to give birth with confidence and feel positive about the experience, however your baby is born.
