Sarah has been a doula since early 2004 in the West London area, supporting mothers before and during labour and birth. She is a Recognised Doula with Doula UK and a member of the key voluntary team running the organisation.

As a mother of four children and a journalist of 20+ years experience with a consistent focus on family, education and children, Sarah has a long-standing passion for the issues surrounding pregnancy, birth and the early baby days.

In 2004 Sarah decided to take her career in a new direction and enrolled on the Paramanadoula course, under the personal supervision of Dr Michel Odent, natural birth advocate and birthing pool pioneer. A doula's education is never finished, so Sarah keeps herself regularly updated with study days and courses.

Sarah is also a HypnoBirthing practitioner, teaching individual couples in their homes and small groups.

Sarah is currently working towards a Certificate in Hypnotherapy at the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy.
