Please practice the relaxations as often as you can.
DO NOT listen to the relaxations when in the bath or driving.
TIP: If Birth Partner put their hand on bump, whilst mum relaxes, the baby may be more inclined to move so you can feel baby! As mother relaxes, her uterine muscles relax and so baby has more space to play!

Positive Affirmations
your gujarati doula in leicester
Empowering you to birth with dignity, trust, and cultural understanding
from bump to baby and beyond
I’m here as your advocate, your calm in the storm, and your biggest cheerleader. You deserve a birth where you feel safe, heard, and respected. That’s the kind of care I promise every Mumma.
Birth is not just a physical event — it’s emotional, cultural, and deeply personal.
As a Gujarati doula based in Leicester, I understand the unique needs, traditions, and challenges that women of colour often face in maternity care — from being unheard to navigating medical racism. My role is to protect your space, amplify your voice, and ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
I offer unconditional, non-judgemental support for you and your partner, so you both feel confident and empowered — no matter how your birth unfolds.
why have a doula?
Hiring a doula isn’t just about having someone in the room — it’s about having the right person in your corner.
With me by your side, you can:
-
Feel anchored and calm, even when plans change
-
Reduce your chances of interventions and caesarean birth
-
Have your dignity and choices fiercely protected
-
Shorten labour and improve recovery
-
Support your partner so they feel confident too

Decrease caesarean section rate by 50%
-
Enhance the birth experience for both mother and father
-

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.
Whether we’re in your home or on the labour ward, I communicate openly with your care team so that your wishes are understood and respected. You’ll feel reassured knowing your doula and your midwives are on the same page, working together for you.
how can we work together?
Every family’s needs are different-
so I offer packages that meet you exactly where you are in your journey.
I support all families, with a special focus on women of colour and those who want culturally sensitive care. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between — I’m here to walk beside you, every step of the way.

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.
