Testimonials

Ana and Nuno

Sally’s support was the most invaluable gift we could have wished for during those early postpartum days. From the very beginning, she never felt like someone we simply hired—she felt like family. She truly cares, and it’s clear this work is about so much more than just a job to her.

Her knowledge and guidance were incredible, but what makes Sally truly special is her warmth, positivity, and genuine kindness. In my most vulnerable moments, she was there—far beyond just her scheduled hours—always available to help me find my feet as a new mum.

I will never forget Sally and everything she did for me. I could never thank her enough, and she will always hold a special place in my heart. She is, without a doubt, one of the best people I have ever met.

If you are considering hiring a postpartum doula, without a doubt, go hire Sally. Oh, and if you’re lucky, she might even bring you some of her lemon cake—which, trust me, is the best you will ever have!

Thank you Sally, we are forever grateful and hope you stay in our lives so little Leo can also get to know Aunty Sally❤️

Annika and Raphael

We had Sally as our postnatal doula and I am so happy she was supporting us in those first few weeks as new parents. She is the loveliest person with the most calm and reassuring presence and from the moment we met her we clicked and felt so comfortable with her, it’s like she’s part of the family. Sally looked after us so well, held our little one so that I could have a much needed lie down or get some work done, cooked for us the most delicious food and baked brownies that will forever be missed. She helped with household chores and always was there with advice, reassurance or just a lovely chat. If you are thinking of hiring a doula I can highly recommend Sally. You will not be disappointed & we are forever grateful to her! 

Ana and Norbert

I fully recommend Sally as a doula.
From the moment we interviewed her, I felt reassured that she would prioritize me and be genuinely available when I needed her. She didn’t give the impression of being overbooked or focused on taking on as many clients as possible. Instead, she made me feel like I was her only client, which gave me great confidence.
The antenatal classes she provided were invaluable. Having 1:1 sessions as a first-time parent meant all my doubts were addressed thoroughly. Sally was incredibly supportive, respecting my decisions and never pushing her own opinions. She guided me in navigating the NHS system and helped me make the choices that felt right for me.
Although my delivery ended in a C-section and we couldn’t follow our planned birth, Sally adapted seamlessly. She came to the hospital to support me, particularly with breastfeeding, and even visited us at home to ensure everything was set up and the baby was settling well into breastfeeding.
Without my family in London, Sally’s support felt like having a caring auntie by my side throughout this journey. Her presence made all the difference, and I’ll forever be grateful for her help.

Judit and Tristan

Sally has been a real life savior! I Full-heartedly recommend her as a postnatal doula!

As a first time mum, with my partner back at work, and a 5-week old baby that struggled falling asleep and would only sleep and be content when in my arms (but refused the sling/carrier), I found myself tied to the sofa/bed and struggled taking care of myself and the flat. I felt totally overwhelmed until Sally came along and turned everything around! From the start, she was very hands-on, doing whatever was needed (washing dishes, preparing healthy meals for me, etc). She was masterful in rocking the baby to sleep and quickly formed a close bond with my daughter. I really appreciated Sally’s experience, wisdom, warmth, and understanding. She has been considerate and loving, and quickly felt like a part of the family. I wish she could have stayed with us forever and I am still in touch with her. She is a wonderful woman whose work has been invaluable and excellent!

Natalie and Omid

When my husband and I first met Sally we were immediately struck by her warmth and genuineness and how she completely put us at ease. It felt like we had already known her for a while despite just meeting her and over the course of our exchanges (in-person and electronic) it became apparent to us that we could totally trust and rely on Sally during a sensitive, highly emotional and deeply personal experience. Sally was also an invaluable source of information for a lot of different things which really helped to make me feel empowered and armed with knowledge as I approached the birth of my baby. Following our baby’s birth, Sally also helped us for a bit as we adjusted to our expanded family and she instinctively knew where help was needed which made our lives a whole lot easier. We are very grateful for Sally’s support and we would recommend her highly to anyone considering hiring a doula!

Anna and Eamon

“Sally came into our lives postpartum to help with our 1 month old who had reflux and needed to be held upright a lot! Sally came during the day or night and was a wonderful support, often arriving with a dinner or some baked treats! She has an amazing way with children, both my baby and toddler loved her and we loved having her in our home. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone/family who needs/need support even if you don’t quite know what you need - Sally will instinctively know how to help”. 

Firuza and Dmytri

Sally is an amazing person and a great professional. I was very lucky to have her as my doula. During our antenatal sessions, Sally helped me greatly to think through and understand my birth plan preferences. Sally’s calm and friendly spirit, along with her quick responses to my questions, helped me feel secure during my final stages of pregnancy.

I remember the relief I felt once Sally arrived at our place on the day of my labour. Even my pain felt less severe. My choice was for a natural delivery. However, my delivery turned out to be quite complicated. It took many hours for the baby to move into the proper position. All this time, Sally was there for me, holding my hand, giving me sips of her magic smoothie, and caring for me at every level. She encouraged and helped me to move, which was essential for the progress of the birth (but very hard to do on my own). She also worked closely with the maternity nurses so that together, they provided excellent care. Thanks to Sally, the birth of our daughter went smoothly and happily, even though it lasted for the whole 12 hours. We will always be grateful to her for making this a joyfully memorable experience!

Karin

“I was so grateful to have been supported by Aunty Sally, she was a rock during my challenging times. She helped us immensly with everything especially our breastfeeding journey which would have probably been cut short if it wasn't for her support. Sally is kind, reliable, helpful, encouraging and trustworthy. She went over and beyond to make sure we were ok and my daughter and I both loved having her around. I am pleased that Sally was part of our journey and she will definately be our Doula again in the future”.

Chiara and Alex

“Occasionally in life just when you need it the most a wonderful person comes along to give you that support you need. This was Sally for me and my family who supported us after the birth of my third child. I honestly feel meeting and having her with us transformed both my labour and postnatal experience. With my third pregnancy I wanted to avoid stress and worry as much as possible and my biggest anxiety was about childcare for my two children at home whilst in labour. I had concluded it would be better to have their father at home with them and give birth alone. When I met with Sally and we discussed my concerns she gave me the reassurance that she would be with me if I needed or at short notice could stay with the children be it night or day. I am certain this relaxed me and allowed for an easier delivery. After my daughter was born Sally visited us once or twice a week and was incredible. Without asking she just got stuff done, no guidance needed, no pressure. She enabled me to spend time bonding with my baby rather than being busy around the home. Thank you so much Sally!”

Zara and William

“Sally came into my life as a postpartum doula and turned it the right way up again! She is a calm, comforting and positive presence and I simply couldn’t have done without her during the first few months of my newborn. She had lots of great advice when I sought it but was never restrictive or judgmental. I felt/feel very safe in her hands and would recommend her wholeheartedly. My little one also adores her” 😊

Philippa and Lawrence

“Sally was our absolute hero for nearly 4 months post birth. With our families not living close by and my husband working away for long stretches, Sally quickly became part of our new little family.

From the first session we had together 1 month before birth, Sally’s knowledge, professionalism, warmth and humour shone through and we instantly clicked. No question was ever too silly for Sally and she provides her opinion based on experience but never judges or forced her own views on us. She also has many valuable local contacts which was a lifesaver when trying to find a local tongue-tie Practitioner over Christmas when my son was first born

Sally gave me confidence (and a shoulder to cry on) in those first few months which helped shape how we approached parenthood and I would absolutely recommend her to everyone I know. She also makes fantastic sweet treats” 😉

Liu and David

“Sally is the best support I could have hoped for. Initially I was hesitant getting a doula, as I tend to be very practical and do things on my own. However meeting Sally made a big difference. Her kind, warm and caring personality instantly won me over. Her clear, practical and professional approach was exactly what I needed to prepare me for the birth of my daughter. Most importantly, she helped me through a very long, intensive labour in the most compassionate and thoughtful way possible. In the months afterwards, Sally helped me and my partner to really overcome the challenges of the first months with our newborn daughter: from helping me with breastfeeding to making some of the best food for us. Looking back, I don't know how we could have done it without her. I am incredibly grateful to have Sally support me through this journey”.

Lynsey

“Sally is an actual angel and I knew I wanted her to take care of me and my son the moment I met her. She is warm and caring and just the support I needed when I entered motherhood as a single parent, not to mention during a pandemic! The bond she developed with my son was incredible, it makes me emotional just thinking about it. She’s very knowledgeable and offers both practical and emotional support which I really valued in those early days. She became a true friend and confidant. I now tell my pregnant friends they need a Sally in their life. 5 stars!”

Sarah & George

“Sally came to help support our family 4 weeks after our third daughter was born. It was the best decision we ever made to get the extra help. Sally is friendly, warm, caring and a reassuring voice in those early crazy days of parenthood. I felt so relaxed and relieved on the days that she was coming. She was amazing with all the children, but also a friend. It was lovely to have another adult’s company after spending the day with a baby. Sally formed a lovely bond with my baby and the older girls, who would be so excited to see her. She would help by getting my baby to sleep (who only slept soundly in the sling with constant motion!) and feed and play with the baby, which meant I could spend some quality time with my other children. Likewise, if I was feeding the baby, she would entertain the older girls which was a huge help. Sally would do everything that was needed without me even asking, such as washing the dishes or preparing the girls dinner. She would often bring treats for the girls like homemade pizza dough to make pizzas together, and freshly baked cakes for them to ice and decorate. She consistently went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, though was able to do this subtly and in a way that never felt intrusive. It’s so important to get as much help as possible after having a baby and I’m so glad that Sally was there for us!”

Kim & Mark

“Sally was our superstar post natal doula for 3 months after the birth of our third baby, a little girl, in June 2020. She was invaluable to all of us during that time, giving us the support we needed to get into the swing of life as a family of five in difficult circumstances given the pandemic. Our two boys loved spending time with Sally playing games, running around at the park or decorating her homemade cakes. She brought much needed energy and enthusiasm when I was exhausted in those early weeks and allowed the boys to bond with their new sister in a happy environment. Sally intuitively knew what each of us needed, whether it was my son needing a bike ride to burn off some energy, my husband and I needing our dinner prepped or our newborn needing to be settled for a nap. The bond that Sally built with our daughter was so special, I trusted her implicitly and valued her gentle and non judgemental advice and encouragement on all things to do with babies and children”.

Inara and Otis

“Sally is amazing. She is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and really cares for her clients. She was brilliant in the run up to my birth and went out of her way to support me and my partner through a very long latent labour. During labour itself she was amazing. Encouraging, supportive and measured. I honestly don’t know how we would have got through it without her - we are so grateful to her”.

Jin & Hans

“Sally was very knowledgeable and before birth shared as much as she could with us. She clearly has experience as a mother but also professionally she’s very thorough with pre birth support and coaching.After birth, our experience was also fantastic Sally was very flexible and really worked towards supporting us where we needed help. She was fantastic at interacting with the baby. It was lovely to see that the baby got amazing care when Sally was around.We really feel we got incredibly lucky by having had Sally around with the birth of our little one”.

Wei & Vincent

“We had our little boy in December 21. Being both foreigners, we couldn't receive family support in the first weeks after birth. Sally made a great difference to us in these tough weeks. From the moment we reached out 2 months prior to the due date, Sally was exceptionally professional and caring. We immediately trusted her experience and knowledge. She ran a first session a month before the birth to walk us through all the information we needed to know to be prepared, and she reviewed our home setup for the baby. This gave us confidence going into parenting for the first time. After birth, Sally was proactive and flexible to meet our needs. She guided us to understand the baby and provide better care in a wide range of topics: sleep, breastfeeding, signals from the baby, brain development, etc. Sally has a way with our baby that feels like magic, he always responds well with her. On top of that, she brought us some delicious food, which was very sweet and a great help!”

Sarah & Matthew

“Aunt Sally was just who I needed as my daughter entered the world! I can't highly recommend Sally enough as she not only has a huge heart, but is also incredibly consciencious and thoughtful. Due to an incredibly fast labour, the baby arrived minutes before Sally did in an unplanned homebirth. However, Sally became my support and rock while in the hospital with a premature baby. She not only accompanied me to the hospital in the ambulance, but, because of Covid-19 my husband couldn't stay with me in the hospital, Sally bravely and generously stayed with me all three nights in the hospital. If it weren't for her, I would not have rested properly after the birth and would have been incredibly lonely and anxious in the hospital without anyone with me for days unend. Sally also made sure I had everything I needed, and helped to communicate those needs to hospital staff. I am beyond grateful for her care. You will also enjoy Sally's upbeat demeanor and great encouragement!”

Roop & Suki

"Sally came like a guardian angel to help us when we really had nobody else. Because of her, we were able to relax which resulted in a very smooth labour and positive birth experience. When our daughter is older we will tell her all about Sally and how she allowed for her birth to be such a positive one and we will be forever grateful”

Claire & Duncan

“It was great getting support from someone who is as professional, calm and encouraging as Sally. I am so grateful she was able to stay with us in hospital throughout the whole labour, I could not have dealt with the intensity of labour without her positivity and calming presence. I found having Sally as our `doula extremely valuable, I would definitively recommend her!”

Laura Ann and Kevin

“Sally was incredible – she was a lovely part of our week. My baby would give her big smiles when he saw her, and it warmed my heart. Sally was very patient and gave a lot of information about babies and being a new parent, I felt that she understood from experience what new motherhood felt like and was always willing to listen without judgement to my thoughts and feelings. Sally also helped me prepare to return to work, accompanying me and my baby to my office so he could meet colleagues. It felt so reassuring to know that she was there to help in case my son had a meltdown.

Sally was so supportive, kind, knowledgeable, calm and loving. She really became a valued member of our London community. My son would light up when he saw her; we still sing the songs she taught him and he just giggles and smiles.”

Talitha & Leigh

"When I gave birth to fraternal twin girls, I had no friends or family to be my village. I was petrified, overwhelmed, and alone. The sound of Sally's voice calling from the door brought peace into my heart. I could make it through today because she was going to walk it with me"

Jessica & Tom

“Sally is supportive without judgement and helpful without being intrusive. She really guided me through my post natal experience and brought joy in what I found to be a tough time. I’m not sure how anyone has a baby without Sally!”

Lina and Javier

“We hired a doula because my sister couldn’t get a visa to come to the UK.

As Sally is a happy and positive person she motivated me every day with positive words and attitude. She told me every day that I was doing well, she looked after my baby for a couple of hours to give a break and get some sleep. She had good communication and respected that our first language is not English. If we did not understand something, she explained it again. She was very friendly and flexible to our circumstances.

Sally is a fantastic person, happy and positive. She helped me a lot with breastfeeding. She was willing to give me an advice when I needed it.

Javier was so happy to have sally during the first two weeks after birth, she was a great support for him too as he was finishing his studies and dissertation. She looked after the baby while he was studying, working at home when I was getting some sleep. She taught and explained how to give the baby a bath. For new parents there are so many challenges.”

Amelia & Alex

“Moving to a big, bustling city such as London is fairly daunting. Especially when you’ve moved from the other side of the world! Fortunately for me, I met Aunty Sally. From the outset Sally and her family made me feel so welcome. Coming from a big, close-knit family in NZ, Sally’s hospitality, support and care was just what I needed to feel secure and grounded. Fast forward a few years and my husband and I are very much part of Sally’s family. From regular Sunday roasts and family holidays to practical support in every shape and form, Aunty Sally is well and truly our London Mum. Her loving support and care has made London feel like home and helped us to thrive and flourish.”
