our team
Four certified doulas, one shared philosophy: your birth, your way. Each of us brings different training and temperament — meet us below, then come to a monthly meet to feel which of us fits.
Founder · Birth & Postnatal Doula
Eleanor founded Willowbough in 2019 after the home birth of her second daughter. Trained as a birth doula and a hypnobirthing teacher, she has attended over 120 births across London's hospitals, birth centres and living rooms. She leads our birth-preparation work and our monthly meets.
Birth Doula · Hypnobirthing Teacher
Priya came to doula work from a decade as a yoga teacher, and her labours are famously calm rooms. She teaches all our hypnobirthing courses, specialises in VBAC journeys, and speaks English, Malayalam and conversational French.
Postnatal Doula · Feeding Supporter
Sofia mothers the mothers. A former maternity support worker, she leads our fourth-trimester care — overnight-capable, endlessly practical, and the cook behind our famous postnatal broths. She supports breastfeeding and combination feeding alike.
Birth Doula · Closing Ceremonies
Amara trained in Mexico in the rebozo tradition and holds all our closing ceremonies. A fierce advocate in hospital settings and a soft landing afterwards, she specialises in supporting Black mothers and healing difficult birth experiences.
Come and meet us over tea — no agenda, no pitch.
