Developing Doula Mentor (Supporting new and aspiring doulas - Limited spaces remain)
Matilda made all the difference in the birth of our second little girl, supporting me through 10 days of prodromal labour and through the eventual delivery. It was an unrecognisable experience from my first labour - calm, warm and in control. She has also provided night support since which was invaluable. And as a bonus she has been absolutely brilliant with our 2 year old who is very slow to warm up - she still asks about Tildy!
Why am I such a passionate doula?
My journey into motherhood showed me just how much preparation, knowledge, and support can shape a birth experience. My first birth was far from what I had hoped for, and it left me feeling unheard and unprepared. In contrast, my second birth was calm, positive, and deeply empowering because I understood my options, trusted my body, and felt truly supported. Experiencing these two very different births inspired me to become the kind of doula who helps families approach birth with confidence and clarity, and to step into their experience feeling connected to the vision they hold for welcoming their baby.
As a first generation Zimbabwean, I grew up deeply connected to the cultural philosophy of mothering the mother. This beautiful approach places nurturing, emotional support, practical care, and community at the heart of pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. It is a tradition valued across many African cultures and one that holds universal meaning.
When I became a mother, the incredible women in my family surrounded me with warmth, nourishment, and encouragement. They brought delicious food, shared gentle breastfeeding wisdom, listened with compassion, and reminded me to rest and laugh. Their support made me feel held and cared for in a way that shaped my entire experience of early motherhood.
Discovering the strength and transformation that come from being supported inspired my commitment to uplifting families from all cultures and backgrounds. I want every parent I work with to feel informed, confident, and truly cared for throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey.
My aim is to offer nurturing care, warmth, humour, and personalised support that honours each family’s unique needs, personality, and preferences. And yes, that includes midnight snacks, because those small comforts matter more than people realise.
My promise to you as your doula..
As your birth or postnatal doula, I will stand beside you and firmly on your side as you move through pregnancy, birth, and the early days of motherhood. My role is not to give medical advice but to ensure you have clear, evidence based information so you can make informed choices that feel right for you and your family. I am here to help you feel confident, prepared, and truly supported.
Whether you are welcoming your first baby or your fifth, navigating maternity systems, appointments, and decision making can sometimes feel overwhelming. That is where I come in. I will help you understand your options, communicate your preferences, and feel grounded and calm throughout your journey.
My promise is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and protected during these precious and sacred moments. I am here to hold you with warmth and clarity so you can focus on the experience you envision for your birth and your transition into motherhood.
What my clients say...
We cannot recommend Matilda highly enough! From our very first consultation through every in-person visit before the due date, her care and attention were exceptional.
When things moved unexpectedly fast, Matilda rushed to the hospital at 4 AM at extremely short notice without hesitation. On the day, she collaborated seamlessly with the midwives, creating a deeply supportive and harmonious birthing team. Her calming presence kept us grounded, and she stayed by our side until we were completely comfortable and settled after the birth.
Her phenomenal support didn't stop there. Matilda checked in every few days post-birth and arranged a wonderful follow-up visit to ensure we were transitioning smoothly. Every piece of advice she shares is rigorously evidence-based, giving us ultimate peace of mind.
Matilda, you were an indispensable part of our journey, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have you! Thank you again for the outstanding role you played during my wife’s labour.

(Birth Support)
Matilda is truly special to us and having her be part of our birth journey was an amazing blessing- she made all the difference. She supported us with antenatal sessions, was present during labour and at the birth of our son, and then gave us postnatal support to help me get back on my feet with breastfeeding and managing life with a newborn and toddler. Matilda took the time to get to know us and so during labour was one of the few people who was able to just flow with me as I laboured. Even in my complete silence during that time, it was like she could still “hear” me and I just felt so understood and safe! She also gave my husband peace of mind as they were able to tag team between them as they supported me, meaning he didn’t feel alone. Her values of helping mothers feel empowered, supported and in control are woven through everything she does and I can definitely say I felt all of those. If you get the chance to have her as your doula then go for it.
Hannah & Stephen (Birth Support)
We had Matilda with us for regular overnight support with our baby from 4 to 12 weeks, and I cannot recommend her enough - 5 stars does not cover it! We had a tricky start as new parents, and her calm, knowledgable and reassuring presence was exactly what we needed. Not only was having a couple of nights a week where myself and my husband could get some good sleep amazing, but the emotional support was something I personally found invaluable. I looked forward to Matilda arriving on her evenings with us because I knew I would get some solid chunks of sleep in between feeds, but also because she was such a wonderful person to chat to about how we were finding the newborn period. Sitting and having a cup of tea, talking, laughing and occasionally having a little teary moment was just what I needed in those difficult days. We knew from our first conversation with her and first night that we were in good hands, and felt completely at ease knowing that she was looking after our baby. Her support and gentle guidance was also one of the reasons I felt confident enough to continue breastfeeding after a very difficult journey with it. Her informative and detailed handovers each morning were really reassuring, and her tips and knowledge on how to care for our baby and help them sleep really laid a solid foundation for future sleep. We honestly cannot recommend her enough!
