More about me

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 my 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 parents and carers from pregnancy up to 2 years postpartum. 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, birthing person or parent is a role I cherish.

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 care is free of judgement and bias; I want you to feel comfortable asking as many questions as you need to and know that you have a safe space to talk through anything that may be on your mind. I understand that every family’s journey will be unique and that what each person needs from me as a doula will vary.

Antenatal Support, Hypnobirthing and Birth Preparation

We can work together antenatally to talk through and explore any parts of birth and the postnatal period that you’d particularly like to focus on, making space for any concerns, worries or excitement you may have along the way. I can also support you with creating your birth preferences and plan, helping you to feel informed and confident in the choices available to you.

I also offer hypnobirthing as part of our birth preparation together, using the Birth Prep in a Box method. This gives us the opportunity to explore different tools and techniques to help you feel more informed, confident and at ease as you approach birth. We can look at breathing, relaxation, visualisation and positive affirmations, giving you and your birth partner practical tools to draw on throughout labour.

Birth Support

Throughout labour and birth, I can offer a familiar and comforting presence, providing practical and emotional support. Whether you’re planning a physiological birth, a managed birth or a caesarean birth, I will be there to support you and your choices without judgement. I can help to protect your birth bubble and create a calm, comfortable space for you to focus on your birth. I will work to make sure you feel heard and ensure your wishes and preferences are communicated and respected, supporting you in navigating conversations and decisions as they arise.

Postnatal Support

Postnatally, I can offer support as you find your feet in those early days of parenthood, whether that’s support with early feeding, navigating those first outings or simply having someone there to listen. I can also provide a safe space to talk through and debrief your birth experience, should you wish to.

Inclusive Support, Conception and Alternative Paths to Parenthood

As a queer parent, I’m deeply aware of how often LGBTQIA+ families and alternative paths to parenthood can be overlooked or misunderstood within pregnancy and birth spaces. I know how powerful it can be to have someone alongside you who understands the importance of being seen, heard and affirmed throughout your journey into parenthood; whether you are exploring your options for becoming a parent, navigating fertility journeys, assisted conception, surrogacy or another path to parenthood. I believe everyone deserves compassionate, inclusive and evidence-based care. My hope is to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself, where your family is celebrated, your choices are respected and you feel held throughout the process of creating and growing your family.

Pregnancy Endings

I also offer donation-based support for those navigating pregnancy endings through abortion. I recognise that this experiences can bring a wide range of emotions, and that everyone deserves compassionate, non-judgemental care and a safe space to process their feelings. My role is to listen, hold space, provide reassurance and support you in whatever way feels right for you.

Working Together

The support packages that I offer can be used as a guideline for our time together; however, they are flexible and we will work together to create a package that suits your needs. Before booking, we will schedule a free initial meeting which can take place online or in a space where you feel comfortable.

Whether you are looking for a comforting presence throughout pregnancy and labour, longer-term support after your birth, or 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’m always happy to chat about what you might need and how we can make support work for you and your family. I’m also happy to discuss payment plans to help spread the cost of support and make working together more manageable.
