Transform your birth experience with Carly as your Doula

Hi, I’m Carly, founder of The Doula Club.

My role is to support you in having the best birth possible for you, your birth partner and your baby.

I am a highly experienced doula and have supported families across London for the past eight years.

During pregnancy, I will meet with you and your birth partner, get to know each other and find out your hopes and wishes for your labour. We'll create a birth plan, and if necessary, we can debrief any previous birth experiences, removing any emotional blockages that may otherwise affect your labour. I also practice active birth and biomechanic positions and breathing techniques with you in your home.

As a doula, I am fiercely protective of the people who ask me to support them, and I am passionate about your birthrights. I will ensure you understand your options and choices and that your voice will be heard above all else. I will advocate for you when necessary.  ​​

As well as providing emotional and physical support during your labour, I also aim to maintain a peaceful, relaxed environment and ensure your birth preferences are met. Most importantly, I remain calm if things don't go to plan and support you and your partner throughout the process. I don't take over a partner's role but complement it.

I'll also visit you post-birth to debrief and to provide breastfeeding support if it is needed.

I am fully inclusive in my role as a doula and have supported all kinds of births and all kinds of families. I also support baby loss. I work predominantly in North London and East London. Most of my work is with Homerton Hospital, Whittington Hospital, and North Middlesex. I have also supported births at St Thomas's, Whipps Cross, UCLH and Royal London. I have been a doula for many home births, including five where I caught the baby as it arrived before the midwife did! 

Long story short, I consider my role to be supporting you to have the best birth possible for you, your birth partner and your baby.
