Lisa Harris – Birth & Postnatal Doula in South West London
Experienced, personalised doula support throughout your pregnancy and birth — so you’re not left navigating it alone.
For families who want to take ownership of their birth experience and feel confident in the decisions they make.
How I can support you
What do you want for your birth?
I’ve had countless conversations with people who know the birth they want, but feel 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 — and having the right support can make all the difference. 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.
This is for you if:
- You are questioning the birth outcomes of the standard path of maternity care
- You want to understand your options and feel confident in your decisions
- You value continuity and personalised support
- You want to feel steady and well supported throughout your birth
- You want to look back on your birth feeling clear and confident in your choices
This might not be the right fit if:
- You’re looking for someone to tell you what to do
- You feel happy leaving decisions entirely to your care providers
- You’re content with the support the NHS/private care can offer
Hello, I'm Lisa
I’m a birth and postnatal doula based in Wimbledon, supporting families across South West London through pregnancy, birth, and those early days of parenthood.
I’ve supported over 80 families giving birth at home, in birth centres, and on labour wards across London — including Kingston, St. George's, Chelsea & Westminster, St Thomas’ and St. Helier.
My approach combines evidence-based information with calm, consistent support, so you can feel informed, steady, and clear in your decisions — without feeling overwhelmed or pressured.
I’m particularly passionate about supporting women who want to take ownership of their birth experience and feel confident navigating their options.
You can find out more about how I support births here.
I look forward to hearing from you.

What families I’ve supported say about working with me:
"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

What is a doula and why should I hire one?
A doula supports you throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early days with your baby — providing continuity of care, reassurance, and practical support.
In today’s maternity system, you are unlikely to have consistent support or know who will be with you during labour. A doula helps fill that gap, offering experienced, personalised support so you feel informed, supported, and confident in your decisions.
Evidence shows that continuous support in labour improves outcomes and experience — and many families find it makes a lasting difference to how they feel about their birth.
