Birth doula support in London and online consultations
Its two of us and we offer personalised, exceptional care for expectant parents - ensuring you receive the time, attention, and support you deserve throughout your pregnancy, labour, birth and the postpartum period.
Based in London, we have over 24 years of combined experience as doulas and can support you no matter where in the world you are.
Every birth is different, and so is every family. That's why we tailor our care around you, your choices and what matters most, so you never feel alone on the journey to meeting your baby.
T&M are a dynamic duo, each offering individual skill sets that in their own right are stand-out and above the standard for doula care in the UK. Blended together, these two beautiful women offer such a unique and extremely supportive service for women during the most amazing time in our lives. I got to work with both throughout my pregnancy, with Michaela being on call when my labour and birth took place, and Thando's calming, reassuring voice present through her hypnobirthing tracks. Their energy and commitment - especially as a first-time home-birthing mum - was incredibly special. I felt respected, safe and advocated for. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to any woman and her family." ~ Brooke & Will, 2023
