I’M CHLOE, your local south east london POSTNATAL DOULA and YOGA TEACHER

Certified postnatal doula with 7 years experience, trained infant feeding support doula, yoga teacher (including specialist perinatal training and pelvic floor and core recovery), circle facilitator and retreat leader.

I’m a former charity sector worker who brings skills of compassionate service provision, complex organisation and team leadership to my work with women and families at the perinatal stage.

As your doula I bring a calm and supportive presence, supporting new families to get some rest and nourishment while offering specialist care for your precious newbors.

My yoga, circle and retreat offerings provide steady and nourishing places to land, allowing you to feel better in your body and calmer in your mind.

For seven years I’ve travelled all across south London, supporting new families in those first tender days and weeks after birth. My gift is to combine a steady, kind and supportive energy with real practical skills to support you and your newborn, whether I’m whizzing up delicious postpartum food while you sleep and I wear your baby in a sling, listening to your experience of becoming a parent or answering your questions about your new baby.

“CHLOE IS AN INCREDIBLE PERSON AND HAS BEEN AN AMAZING DOULA FOR OUR FAMILY. SHE HAS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE FIRST MONTHS OF OUR NEW FAMILY, MAKING IT CALMER AND MORE ENJOYABLE. WHEN OUR BABY WAS BORN, SHE WAS THERE FOR ALL THE ANXIETIES AND QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT A NEWBORN. I DON’T KNOW HOW WE WOULD HAVE COPED WITHOUT THIS SUPPORT.”

I’ve been building a local yoga community class for a decade in Crystal Palace, a movement experience without judgement or punishment, which still allows you to develop your practice, explore options and get stronger on your own terms. My classes are currently on Sunday mornings at the Little Escape Studio.

“CHLOE’S CLASS IS UNLIKE ANY YOGA CLASS I’VE ATTENDED BEFORE. SHE CREATES A WONDERFUL POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE AND I FEEL COMFORTED AND AT PEACE JUST BEING THERE. THE PRACTICE IS WELL PACED, FAMILIAR BUT ALSO CHALLENGING AT MOMENTS - THE PERFECT COMBINATION FOR ME.”

I’ve been running circles and retreats for many years, bringing women together for time out from the juggle, space to be heard and room to be themselves.

I currently run a mum and baby circle in Herne Hill with Gathered and run regular online seasonal circles via my Substack page.

“CHLOE IS AN AMAZING FACILITATOR. SHE HAS THE UNIQUE ABILITY AND SKILL TO LISTEN AND MAKE EVERYONE FEEL SEEN AND HEARD. SOMEHOW SHE SHARES HER WISDOM WITHOUT ALWAYS REFERENCING BACK TO HERSELF, NOT SOMETHING EVERYONE CAN DO.”
