birth doula
supported, guided, nurtured
Pooja always made me feel seen and heard that was priceless
I honestly felt like I had someone in my corner the whole time who just got me. I was able to stay calm and present because I knew I was supported emotionally and practically. I felt heard in every decision and never pressured, just guided and respected. She knew exactly what I needed and when.
I knew I wanted her and I am so glad I hired her! 1000% worth it and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again!
-priya
a decision you will never regret
hiring pooja was the best investment for our birth
Pooja gave me and my wife so much knowledge, provided so many facts, stats and much more that you wouldn't know - she knew it all. She was always in our corner fighting for us even when things changed. She brought a calm presence throughout our journey, provided us with emotional support and information before the birth, during & after ensuring we knew the facts not blindsided by professionals.

you know you're worth it!
continuity of care at it's best
You know what you want and you already know you deserve the unconditional love and support because you are so worth it!
You want to walk into your birth like a Queen, a Goddess, a Boss Woman who knows exactly how to OWN IT. You have control over your life and you're not going to let someone else take that power away from your body, baby and birth. You want to look back at your birth knowing you made the decisions that were right for your with the information you had- you are not giving your power or autonomy away (just like you wouldn't on any other given day!)
You know nothing flows when you "go with the flow" and you aren't chancing it. You know YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN YOU but you also know that "the experts" don't know you and that's why you're here.
You know you don't need me to tell you what to do. You are not a bystander for your birth.
You want to be held and protected in your space so you can completely SURRENDER INTO YOURSELF.
You know you don't need to seek permission. You are not in victim mode.
You want to be heard, unconditionally supported and advocated so you can completely SURRENDER TO THE PROCESS.
You know you don't need to know it all. NO ONE KNOWS IT ALL!
You want to make informed choices that feel right for you, your body and your baby with ZERO DOUBT.
It's not about achieving "the perfect birth". It's about power. Your power that you have chosen NOT to give to anyone else because you are RECLAIMING IT FOR YOURSELF, YOUR BIRTH AND YOUR BABY!
This is your vibe and you already know I am THE ONLY Cheerleader, Wing Woman and Birth Bestie for you!
Because I know you don't need fixing.
Because I know you deserve individualised and personalised care. One size does not fit all.
Because I know you are invested to OWN YOUR BIRTH!
And I am already excited to be on your birth team!

We had Pooja as our Doula at quite short notice and it was the best decision we could have made. She guided us and informed us every step of the way and without her being there I don’t think I would have been able to given birth naturally as there was quite a few times I felt like giving up, but her support, advice, massage techniques, the list goes on, were invaluable.

Pooja supported me through two pregnancies and births, and her guidance gave both myself and my husband the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools to approach birth with calm and trust, whatever circumstances arose.
Thanks to her unwavering support, encouragement, and expertise, I went on to have two beautiful water births, and I am forever grateful for the role she played in helping us achieve the birth experiences we hoped for. Her calm presence and reassurance made such a difference, and I always felt informed, empowered, and genuinely cared for throughout our journey.

working with midwives
and other birth professionals
I believe the best birth support comes when everyone works together- you, your partner, your midwives, and your doula all united for the same goal: your safety, dignity, and positive birth experience.
Over the years, I’ve built strong, respectful relationships with midwives across Leicester- especially the Leicester Home Birth Team, who know me by name, value my input, and welcome me into births. They recognise how my presence helps mothers feel calmer, more confident, and more in control, which in turn supports their work.
It's YOUR ULTIMATE BIRTH TEAM!
but i have a birth partner...
I'm an addition not a replacement
I work alongside your partner providing support for them too, reassuring them along the way so that they, in turn, can support you better.
Birth partners may have little or no knowledge about birth, medical procedures, or what goes on in a hospital and why would they... this is not their role.
It is also likely that they really love you! As doulas we love all our clients, but not in the same way as a romantic partner or as a parent this is great for you as it means that we still want the very best for you but we can remain objective and give balanced information.
