Doula Support in London – Birth and Postnatal Services from Lisa Harris
Birth and Postnatal Doula in South West London
I’ve had countless conversations with people who know the birth they want, but are unsure how to get there. Stories and advice from friends and family can leave you uncertain about how to navigate a path that feels right for you.
While some aspects of birth are beyond your control,
there is so much you can influence. Together, we’ll create a birth experience that aligns with you and your family, so you can look back with confidence, knowing the choices you made were the
best ones for your circumstances.
Imagine feeling fully empowered and in control, knowing that each decision made during your birth and postpartum journey was the right one for you. Birth is one of the most powerful experiences of life — not something to be feared.
If you're ready to take full responsibility for your choices, rather than simply following the flow of modern maternity services, I’m here as your doula to guide you.
Hello, I'm Lisa
A birth and postnatal doula based in Wimbledon, South West London, supporting families across London and Surrey.
Here you’ll find everything you need to know about how my support would benefit you through pregnancy, birth, and those early days of parenthood.
Take a look around my website to learn more about what you can expect hiring me as your doula, explore my blog for information on local maternity services, and listen to my podcast celebrating positive birth.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Birth Doula Support
Giving birth is a life-changing experience – and sometimes you only realise the full impact afterwards. As you prepare for labour and birth, it’s so important to feel informed and supported in making choices for yourself and your baby.
If you’re birthing within the NHS, you may not know who will be present at your birth – or even meet them beforehand! As your doula, I’m there to provide the continuous support you need and deserve.
Postpartum Doula Support
The first 40 days of your baby’s life set the scene for the next 40 months – and beyond. In the UK, we’ve lost sight of how to truly support new parents in this transition: how to nurture you, care for you, and provide a space to help you get to know your baby and grow in confidence.
I offer both emotional and practical support to help you get off to the best possible start. If you’d like, we can start planning your postpartum journey even while you’re pregnant.

What my doula clients say
"If you’re thinking about hiring a doula, I honestly cannot recommend Lisa enough. She was excellent — a calming, experienced and thoughtful professional who was with us every step of the way, always on hand for questions and helped guide us through the whole process."
— K & T
"As first time parents, we were beginning to feel overwhelmed. Lisa was incredible from the off at alleviating these feelings.
The information and support she provides throughout is brilliant!"
— L & M
"I honestly could not recommend Lisa highly enough! I had her as my doula for my second baby recently and am just so so grateful that I did!"
— H & T
"I cannot thank you enough, Lisa. Our birth experience would have been the same without you. You helped me advocate where I needed to get the resources I needed, and you me cope and helped fortify B. You were an absolutely indispensable part of our team, and we will remember you with so much fondness for playing such an important role in the birth of our son. "
— S & B
Listen to my podcast!
Come and surround yourself with positive birth stories, told in women’s own words. This is a space to gather the wisdom passed down from one mother to another – showing how positive birth is possible, and the difference it can make.
You’ll find a village here: a place to calm your mind, inspire your heart, and boost your confidence in birth.
What is a doula and why should I hire one?
Doulas exist to support you as parents. We’re here to walk alongside you on your journey to parenthood – whether you’re expecting your first baby or expanding your family.
Hiring a doula fills a gap in today’s maternity services. We provide true continuity of care throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early days with your newborn. By building a trusting relationship, we can offer protection, reassurance, and advocacy during this exciting – but often vulnerable – life stage.
A Cochrane review of continuous support in labour showed there are real benefits to having a doula in your team. Many new parents feel overwhelmed and anxious, and a doula can help you navigate those early days with confidence, peace, and joy.
