The Peaceful Doula
Louise Oliver
Your birth. Your choices. Your journey.
Pregnancy can feel like stepping into a world without a map.
In your work life, you’re used to knowing the terrain, managing complexity, leading with confidence, and understanding what’s expected. But when it comes to birth, even the most capable people can feel unsure or out of their depth.
I understand that. After more than twenty years in the corporate world, I know what it’s like to move from being in control to navigating something completely new. My role is to bridge those two worlds, combining calm, professional support with deep knowledge of how the NHS works, so you can make informed decisions and feel empowered every step of the way.
Through evidence-based guidance, I’ll help you create a birth plan that reflects what matters most to you — then walk beside you through labour, supporting your decisions and advocating calmly so your wishes are understood and respected whenever it’s safe to do so.
Your birth. Your choices. Your journey - guided with clarity, confidence, and care.
Nice to meet you
Hello, I’m Louise.
If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re expecting a baby — congratulations! You may already be thinking about the kind of support you’d like as you prepare for birth and parenthood. That’s where I come in.
I’m a doula, hypnobirthing teacher and doula mentor, passionate about creating calm, supportive spaces where families feel confident, informed, and cared for. I work with a wide range of parents, often supporting professional and corporate couples who value a grounded, practical, evidence based approach alongside warmth, calm and reassurance.
My extensive training includes hypnobirthing, aromatherapy, acupressure, massage and biomechanics for birth — giving me a broad toolkit to help families navigate pregnancy and labour with greater comfort and confidence.
Families often describe me as calm, practical and reassuring - someone who listens deeply, works collaboratively with medical teams, and helps create a positive birth environment. My role isn’t to tell you how to give birth, but to walk beside you, offering guidance, reassurance, and advocacy, so you feel empowered to make the choices that are right for you

Testimonial Dec 2024
"Louise is incredible! She was an invaluable support through pregnancy and birth for both me and my husband and I am convinced that it was her guidance, reassurance and knowledge that led to us having such a positive birth experience.
She inspired confidence in the process; opened our eyes to different options and perspectives; helped us navigate the medical system and was amazing on the day as our initial plan evolved… All with an incredible sense of warmth and care as well as sense of humour!
I can’t speak highly enough about Louise and am recommending her to everyone I know!"
