About me...
Hi, I'm Faye, a postnatal doula and mentored birth-doula, offering support in Kerrier (Cornwall) and surroundings. When you ask me to be there for you and your family through your perinatal journey, I bring an open ear, pampering therapies, and loving presence. I always feel very honoured to be a part of someone’s path, especially at such a unique moment in their lives, and I look forward to meeting you.
Faye was wonderful and really made a positive impact to my postpartum journey, particularly after NICU.

Doula Support for you and your family...
Working with Me
I became a doula because:
-I believe in your inherent ability to birth your child
-Because I experienced first hand how empowering the right support can be
- Because birthing people need strong advocates
- And because everyone has a right to self-determined birth
Postnatal Doula
A postnatal doula is for everyone. I'm here to support you and your baby, but also your partner, older children and wider family. You can have a doula at any point in your postnatal journey, and no matter whether it's child #1 or #6.
I'm passionate about caring for people postnatally because a positive beginning sets them and their baby up for a positive future.
Supporting Therapies
Over the years, I've collected an offering of different supportive and pampering therapies. As part of your postnatal journey with me, you can have:
Massage,
Moxa-therapy,
Herbs and Sitzbaths,
and EnergyHealing
Although none of them are compulsory, and we'll put together and individual postnatal plan, tailored to your needs and wishes.
"I can't reccomend Faye enough. In the weeks after birth when everyone wants to hold the baby Faye is there for you! From the homade scrubs, oils and snacks to the massages and meal prep she has been an absolute god send. It's such a personal time to let someone into your home, what a gift it is to have wonderful soul who's presence in your house is so welcome. Thank you Faye, I will be forever grateful for the part you played in my postnatal recovery." Hayley Holmes
Why a doula?
Practising with independent midwives and looking after friends postnatally, I learned that support is not so much about the where and what but the 'HOW'. After birthing my own daughter in 2016, I became even more aware of how vital good postnatal care was. My mum had been there for my daughter's birth and the immediate postpartum phase. I felt so well cared for and buoyed by her love for us that I wanted this experience to be available to all newborn parents.
