Welcome to The Mum Pod
Providing comfort and support to parents
By: Sammy Kerrod - Surrey based Doula
What's My Mission?
Hi lovely human! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. What is my mission you may be asking, or what is it that I do? As you begin this exciting adventure, I will be by your side and on your side every step of the way. As a doula, my mission is to provide compassionate and personalised support to families during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum and being an interpreter for your newest little addition in their first few weeks of life. I aim to create a safe and empowering space for parents to make informed decisions about their care, and to help them navigate the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the journey into parenthood. I believe in honouring each family's unique needs and preferences with a holistic approach, in fostering a sense of trust and connection between parents, and their support team.
"A mother needs just as much attention as a newborn, because they too have just been born."
Why a Doula?
Picture having a wing-woman who's got your back through every step of your pregnancy journey - that's where doulas come in! We're here to support you during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. We've got your best interests and wishes at heart when it comes to communicating with your medical team and providing the inside scoop on all the best resources and research, so you can make informed decisions. We want you to feel like you have the world at your fingertips and that you are the author of this story. Think of us as your go-to squad, listening, advocating, and reflecting with you every step of the way. And the best part? Studies show that having a doula by your side can lead to a quicker labor, less need for painkillers, and fewer interventions.
