More about me

I am Koah, a cake loving, veg planting mama of one. Happiest outside with my hands in the soil and foraging for wild medicines, surrounded by community and learning about the magical processes that create, birth and nourish a baby. I came to doula-ing after the birth of my son in 2022. After spending a lot of the pregnancy alone and subsequently having my own doula I really understand the value of support and reassurance when becoming a parent. My background has always been rooted in social and supportive roles, and doula work beautifully aligns with my activism, values, and compassion.

Outside of doula-ing I work as a Perinatal Mental Health Peer Supporter for Light, a Sheffield-based charity supporting women and birthing parents from pregnancy up to 2 years post partum. I also volunteer with the Sheffield City Council Doula Programme, providing birth support to women and families experiencing isolation and often extreme hardships. I’m deeply passionate about creating supportive environments for parents, advocating for their choices and rights, and helping birthing parents to reclaim their strength. It’s a privilege to weave this passion into various aspects of my life. I view pregnancy and birth as profoundly magical and revere our bodies for their resilience and wisdom. Holding space for each new mother and birthing person is a role I cherish. As a queer parent, I’m acutely aware of how often alternative paths to parenthood are overlooked. I see it as essential to acknowledge the myriad ways people become parents and ensure inclusivity and understanding at every step.

What I can offer you as your doula

For me it has always been extremely important to acknowledge that not every new parent or birthing person is a mama, but all new parents need support; something that guides my practice and care. I’m here to support families and individuals on their journey to parenthood in whatever form that may take. As a doula my role is to provide you with resources and information, practical support and a comforting presence throughout our time working together.

My support is free of judgement and bias; I will make space for you to ask as many questions as you need to and make sure that you feel held and at ease. I understand that every new family’s journey will be unique and what each new parent will need from me as a doula will vary. The support packages that I offer can be used as a guideline for our time together, however, they are extremely flexible and we will work together to create a package that suits your needs. Before booking we will schedule a free of charge initial meeting which can take place online or in a space that you feel comfortable.

Whether you are looking for a comforting presence throughout pregnancy and labour, longer-term support after your birth or you are welcoming a baby into your life through another route I will be there to support this transition and provide you with a safe space to bond, heal and settle into family life together.

I will also take on emergency care where possible and am happy to provide sessions remotely via zoom or teams if that works better for you and your family
