Meet Meryam · London postnatal doula

A little care.
A whole village.

Hi, I’m Meryam, a postnatal doula from London helping families through the fourth trimester of parenting.

People frequently inquire if I have children myself, and the answer is no. Not being a mother means I arrive without preconceived notions of what your path should look like based on my own history. Instead, I greet every family with curiosity, openness, and the belief that you are the true expert of your own home. Every family unit is unique and there is no universal “correct” way to be a parent.

More about me and my approach

What I bring to the table is over five years of active experience working alongside infants, children, and parents, supplemented by my certification as a Mental Health First Aider. From mentoring with The Kids Network, to tutoring, I have always enjoyed being around the younger generation. Now completing my doula training with Side By Side Doula, I have taken a keen interest in sleep training, completing The Lullaby Trust SIDS and safer sleep training, alongside breastfeeding assistance and infant massaging.

I believe postnatal support should nurture both the practical and emotional sides of your recovery, offering care that feels as personal as it is supportive. Inspired by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I incorporate traditional herbal remedies to complement your body’s natural journey towards balance and wellbeing. Meditative practices, including gentle movement and breathwork, are central to my personal approach to wellbeing. I also believe in the value of informed choices, and can support you by researching trusted resources and signposting you to relevant information and services, helping you make decisions that feel right for you.

From helping to curate nourishing meals and snacks to creating gentle, sustainable routines that reflect your family’s unique needs and values, my approach is centred around supporting you in a way that feels right for you. Above all, it’s about giving you the space to pause, take a breath, feel cared for, and begin to feel like yourself again.

If you would like to discover more about my path as a doula, or are interested in the packages below, feel free to arrange a free 20 minute discovery call with me.

From breastfeeding and latching to winding, feeding and baby massage, I offer hands on guidance shaped around you and your baby. Whether you’re a first time parent finding your feet or growing your family and looking for a refresher, we’ll build your confidence together.

It’s okay to have questions

A few things you
might be wondering.

How do I arrange a discovery call?

Click any discovery call button to open an email to me. Share a little about the support you’re looking for and some times that suit you, and we’ll agree a time by email. The free call is a relaxed 20 minute conversation to get to know each other.

Do I need to choose a package first?

No. You can start with a conversation. There’s no pressure to decide before we’ve discussed what would help you most.

How is your care priced?

I offer three set packages: Limoo, Cardamom and Saffron. Each works out at £35 per hour, with visits lasting 3 hours. You can choose the frequency and minimum duration that suit your family from the packages above.

Do you offer revised plans for single parents or families on lower incomes?

Yes. If you’re a single parent or from a lower income background, we can discuss a revised support plan after a free discovery call. We’ll talk through your circumstances, budget and the care that would be most helpful, then explore a plan tailored to your needs.

Is a doula a medical professional?

A doula offers practical and emotional support. This care complements the support of your midwife, health visitor and GP, and does not replace medical advice or treatment.
