London Doulas was set up in 2009 by Jessica Thornton & Sarah Rowles. Both doulas had been practicing individually for a while and with continuity of care being paramount to both of them, neither were happy to increase the number of families they supported alone (approx one per month).
They decided to start offering another option to families known as 'shared care'. Each month they would support one additional family by doing all of their visits antenatally and postnatally together and whoever had the better availability on the day would attend the birth, thus ensuring that each family still had familiarity throughout- kind of a two-for-one deal. Between them, Jessie and Sarah have supported hundreds of families and attended over a hundred births but with the significant upturn in enquiries in recent years, they have been finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with their demand. Through this site parents-to-be in London are now able to find a suitable doula based on their individual requirements. To find out more about booking a doula through us please click here.
