Doula North London

Positive New Beginnigs

As a doula in North London I can offer you prenatal guidance as well as emotional and practical support during birth and/or in the postnatal period.

The birth of your baby is probably going to be the most memorable time of your life. I am here to help you prepare for the event so that the birth-day, and/or the first few weeks after the birth, can be the most enjoyable and comfortable moments.

I often hear parents-to-be say how confused they are about all the contradictory advice they hear and receive.

My role is to help you find your voice, understanding the various options around birth and/or the postnatal period including baby development. I focus on helping you gaining clarity and confidence so you can calmly make the choices you want to make while enjoying this special time.

The support I provide as a doula in North London is discrete, calm and respectful of your own choices. Supporting and nurturing you and your family so you can look after each other.

Testimonials

We were so pleased to have found Eleonora as a post natal doula after the birth of our second child. All the family loved having her in the home. Her advice, warmth, help and excellent cooking enabled us to enjoy the precious early days. Ellie is incredibly professional and yet so personal, I really enjoyed this approach. Would highly recommend.

– Carole Spink - Muswell Hill London

I had a very positive birth experience and loved giving birth despite the intensity. Eleonora played a very significant role in it. Eleonora is very respectful of what the mum and dad want for themselves and my partner and myself would describe her support as gentle and not intrusive. We are sure that we would have panicked at some point during labor without her. I would have no reservation to recommend her as an excellent doula

– Julia Weber - Archway London

I was overwhelmed with all the conflicting advice from midwives, health visitors, books and friends. Eleonora helped me develop the confidence to rely on my own instincts, and I genuinely feel that I am a better mum because I am less anxious now and much more able to enjoy my daughter.
