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.
