Hi, I’m Amisha!
I’m a London-based doula and perinatal educator, and nothing brings me more joy than supporting parents as they bring their babies into the world.
I understand deeply that birth is more than a medical event. It is a profound transition that requires trust, safety and vulnerability. My role is to offer a calm, reassuring presence throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period, helping you feel informed, respected and supported at every stage.
Looking back, the pull towards birth work was always there. I completed a degree in Molecular Biology before working in science communication, campaigning for decolonised curricula and training healthcare professionals in bodily autonomy and informed consent. I later trained with Abuela Doulas, bringing together my interests in science, access to healthcare and compassionate care.
Your body.
Your baby.
Your birth.
I offer compassionate, informed and inclusive support through pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period.
My role is not to tell you how to give birth. It is to help you understand your options, feel confident in your decisions and approach birth knowing that you will be heard, respected and supported.
