Postnatal Doula and Breastfeeding Counsellor

A little more about me…

I live with my husband, 3 children and dog near Guildford, Surrey. I had very different postnatal experiences with each of my children and the joys and struggles I went through ignited my interest in supporting families during this hugely important time in our lives. I trained with Developing Doulas in 2021 and haven’t looked back! It is such a privilege to support families during this momentous period, to enable them to feel looked after and supported whilst navigating their parenthood journey. 

One area of postnatal care I am particularly passionate about is infant feeding, and I have trained with the ABM, qualifying as a Peer Supporter in 2021 and more recently as a Breastfeeding Counsellor. I volunteer with a local NHS drop-in service, and the National Breastfeeding Helpline, and in addition to my doula services, I offer Infant Feeding support to those who need a little extra help with any feeding situation (breastfeeding or bottle feeding), both in the early days and beyond.

My Background

My previous career was as a Careers Consultant, where I supported individuals navigating change in their working lives. I worked in many different arenas such as Welfare to Work, Secondary Education, and Higher Education, and freelanced when I had my three children. I loved it but felt ready for a change in 2021 when I decided to finally act on my dream to train and work in the doula and infant-feeding field. Many of the skills I gained as a Careers Consultant translate very well to supporting clients as a doula, and it is a privilege to be able to utilise these to help people navigate arguably the biggest change in life, having a baby!

Becca has been a tremendous support to our family since we welcomed our third baby. She has a warm and calm presence, is wonderful with our older children and so knowledgeable in getting breastfeeding off to a good start with our newborn. On top of that, she’s a fantastic cook! My postnatal recovery has been so much better this time around thanks to her help and I only wish we’d had a Becca in our lives after the first and second born arrived!

Becca spent time with our family in the months following the birth of our son. In a time where we were tired, anxious and at times overwhelmed, Becca fitted seamlessly into our home life and was so kind, supportive and lovely. She not only has extensive knowledge of all things baby and helped with things like breastfeeding support, but also with practical household bits such as batch cooking which was so helpful. She also looked after the baby so I could rest, take a walk and get some breathing space – I trust her completely to look after my baby and his face lights up when he sees her. Her advice during this time was so valuable – I never felt judged, just supported and her sharing her knowledge helped us to feel confident and move forward as a family. I would recommend her without hesitating and am so happy we met her.
E & R, Guildford.
