Rachel Quickenden

I am a postnatal doula based in Tonbridge, Kent. I also teach hypnobirthing, antenatal and breastfeeding courses in and around Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.

I am passionate about supporting mums, parents and families as they make their way through pregnancy, birth and the early weeks with their new baby. How we feel during that time is crucial – that’s the bit that we remember years later. And so I want people to feel supported, informed, heard, loved and respected as they embark on their biggest adventure in life!

I am a mum of two (beautiful, exhausting, magical) little boys and I remember both the highs and the lows of both those journeys. Both challenging, both incredibly precious.

I provide postnatal doula support to make your transition into parenthood that little bit gentler. That varies from family to family, but it might be helping you with caring for your baby, looking after your baby whilst you sleep or rest, cooking you a meal, running the hoover around, supporting you with breastfeeding, signposting you to other perinatal services – or all of the above! Sometimes it might be just listening and giving you a hug!

I am a consistent friendly face, there to provide emotional, practical and informational support, so that you can find your feet as a new family and parent in a way that works best for you and your baby. I adore my work and see the huge impact that it has on the new families that I support.

If you are looking for a postnatal doula in Kent, do get in touch – I would love to support you!
