Optimising Transitions

 

 

Hi, I’m Amy — a Northerner at heart, now happily settled on the Surrey/Sussex border with my family.

As a Postnatal Doula, I offer calm, practical support to families adjusting to life with a new baby — from a listening ear to a hot cup of tea. I also support Deaf families with my BSL Level 3 qualification.

Alongside supporting new familes, I support families that are going through a Cancer diagnosis and treatment. I offer practical and emotional support, tailored to your needs, whether that’s a listening ear, guidance on day-to-day challenges, or help navigating appointments and treatment.

Additionally, I offer Calm Support Sessions — one-off, 50-minute sessions providing a safe, non-judgemental space to talk, reflect, and leave feeling steadier. Think of it as a breathing space for your brain: a moment to untangle thoughts, feel heard, and reset. Life can feel overwhelming — these sessions give you a safe, gentle space to feel a little lighter.

Supporting You Through Life's Big Changes 

 

We've all heard the saying, “Happy mum, happy baby” — and it’s true! Life as a new parent can feel overwhelming, especially without the comfort of a ‘village’. The postnatal period — particularly the 4th trimester — should be about giving yourself time, space, and grace. I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered, whether that’s practical, emotional, or informational support.

I also offer Calm Support Sessions — one-off, 50-minute sessions designed to help you pause, recharge, and reconnect with yourself. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes you just need a quiet, non-judgemental space to think, untangle emotions, or simply be listened to. These sessions are flexible, supportive, and tailored entirely to your needs — not therapy or coaching, just gentle, compassionate presence when you need it most.

In addition, I support individuals and families navigating cancer diagnoses and treatment, providing practical and emotional guidance to help you feel supported, understood, and cared for during this challenging time.

Whatever stage of life you’re in, I’m here to help you navigate big changes with calm, clarity, and compassion.
