About me

Hello! I’m Kiran – mum of two, coffee lover, foodie, earth-lover, feminist & Dr of Psychology.
​
Of course, I’m also a Birth & Postnatal Doula, Hypnobirthing Teacher, Baby Massage Teacher, and Breastfeeding Peer Supporter in and around Kent, Medway, and South-East London.
​
I’ve actually been supporting women and young families since way before any of my training - since my early teens, I’ve always been the one that family members would call upon for support during the those difficult postpartum weeks. And after having children of my own, I found old school friends and friends-of-friends would get in touch with me for support and advice on navigating the tricky topics like; baby sleep, breastfeeding, and cloth nappies.
​
My style of support
​
It can be so hard to know which sources of information to trust when it comes to pregnancy, birth and parenting and it seems like everyone has a different (and strong!) opinion. And amongst all the noise, chaos, and anxiety, we’re losing touch with our bodily and parenting instincts. I use my knowledge of psychology to help you understand more about your baby’s developing brain and how you can nurture their development from pregnancy through to early childhood. I love research and learning, so I’m always happy to have a dig around and share with you up-to-date and reliable information, so that you can make an informed decision about your own and your baby’s care.
​
I’m here to listen and support you, always in a non-judgmental way.
​
I work with all ethnicities, cultures, ages, and genders. As a woman of South-Asian heritage I want to support more Black & Brown families to access equal and safe care (If you are unaware of the problems facing Black & Brown birthing people, please see the MBRRACE-UK Report and Five X More).
Please do not let finances get in the way of contacting me for support - we can discuss payment plans, discounts and bespoke packages.
