Hello, I'm Kelly Woolhouse

Pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenthood are filled with excitement, but they can also bring uncertainty, questions and moments of self-doubt. As a Birth and Postnatal Doula and qualified Hypnobirthing Instructor, I'm here to help you feel informed, supported and confident every step of the way.

After becoming a mother myself and following a lifelong passion for pregnancy, birth and babies, I retrained as a doula to support families through one of the most life-changing experiences they will ever have. Becoming a qualified Hypnobirthing Instructor was a natural next step, allowing me to help parents not only understand their options but also develop practical techniques to approach birth feeling calm, prepared and empowered.

Every family is unique, which is why I offer personalised antenatal, birth and postnatal support tailored to your individual needs. Whether you're planning a home birth, hospital birth, birth centre birth, caesarean birth or VBAC, my role is never to tell you what to do, but to provide compassionate, evidence-based information and unwavering support so you can make the choices that feel right for you and your family.

Based in Berkshire, I support families across Berkshire, Greater London, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Surrey and Oxfordshire, offering compassionate care, practical guidance and continuous support throughout your journey into parenthood.

Hypnobirthing Classes

Postnatal Doula Support

Gentle, nurturing support during those precious early weeks and months with your baby.

Whether you need practical help around the home, emotional reassurance, feeding support or simply someone to listen, I'm here to support you without judgement as you settle into family life.

My goal is to help you feel cared for, confident and supported during your recovery and transition into parenthood.

Birthing Biomechanics

Understanding how the baby and pelvis work together during labour can make a real difference to comfort, confidence and progress in labour. My Birthing Biomechanics training enables me to support you with practical movements, positioning techniques and body-balancing approaches that can help create more space in the pelvis and encourage your baby to find their optimal path through birth.

This specialist knowledge can be integrated into antenatal preparation, labour support and birth planning, whatever type of birth you're preparing for.
