what they said
Real words. Real families. Real experiences.
Choosing someone to support you through pregnancy, birth and those first weeks with your baby is a big deal, so don’t just take my word for it.
Here’s what the women, birth partners and families I’ve had the privilege of supporting have to say about their experience with me.
When Pooja is in the room, you can feel the mother’s confidence grow, it’s a joy to work alongside her.

Honestly, if I was choosing a doula for my own birth, I’d choose Pooja. You really couldn’t have picked anyone better.

Pooja is caring, a fantastic communicator, incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about helping people navigate their own individual journey. She helped to advocate our wishes and respected our choices in birth which we are thankful for.

Pooja was an absolute godsend and worth her weight in gold. 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 has the most calming and empowering aura. Her support for our second birth was priceless and we cannot ever be able to express in words how grateful we were for her guidance and love (especially with massaging my sweaty hands!)

Having Pooja as our doula was one of the best decisions we made.
I had really struggled with the lack of continuity of care during pregnancy and birth. The NHS care I received was amazing, but having Pooja alongside that made such a difference. It never felt like it was one or the other, she helped tie everything together and gave me the extra layer of continuity and holistic support that I personally needed.
It felt like having a really knowledgeable friend there, and Pooja became a part of our little family. My partner felt completely comfortable calling and talking to her, and even my sister ended up speaking to her when we were in hospital.
My birth definitely didn’t go to Plan A, but because of the support and work we’d done beforehand, I already had a Plan B, Plan C (and probably a few more!) in my head. So when things changed, I felt supported and prepared rather than panicked.
What I really appreciated was that Pooja never told me what I should or shouldn’t do. She helped me understand my options, ask the right questions and work through my own thoughts and feelings alongside the information I was getting from the midwives and doctors. I felt empowered to make my own decisions, but never like I had to make them alone.
Even though things didn’t go to plan, I never found myself wondering “what if I’d done something differently?” I felt comfortable with the decisions we made because I knew I’d been supported to properly understand and navigate them.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Pooja enough.
Pooja helped me feel informed, confident and able to make decisions that felt right for me, while also making sure my birth partner felt included and genuinely part of my support team.

I wish I had the words to express how I literally couldn't have managed the whole labour and birth without you!
I feel completely transformed and cannot thank you enough!

Having Pooja as our doula was the best decision we made for our pregnancy and birth journey.
Right from the start, she brought knowledge, empowerment, and a deep sense of reassurance to the process. Connecting with her felt effortless, which was incredibly important to both of us. Her calm, confident, and supportive nature helped us feel completely championed to make the right choices for our family.
Our birth was the most positive experience we could have ever wished for, and we still can’t stop talking about it. We know having Pooja by our side played a huge role in making that happen.
