Let me introduce myself: Diana Doula

Birth and Postnatal Doula in Rugby, Warwickshire

Holding space for the most powerful transformation of your life

Hi, I’m Diana, a birth and postnatal doula based in Rugby, where I live with my husband and our two daughters, whom we home educate. Quiet by nature, I’m a deep thinker and feeler. I notice the things left unsaid, tune into your energy, and hold space in a way that feels calm and safe.

My work is about more than preparing for birth. It’s about tending to the relationship you’re building with your baby, and with yourself, from the very beginning, so you step into motherhood already connected and confident.

I believe parenting starts in pregnancy. How you feel during this season shapes not only your birth but also the bond you’re creating with your baby. Feeling safe, seen, and supported isn’t a luxury, it’s the foundation for generational wellbeing.

As a qualified antenatal educator, hypnobirthing teacher, and parental brain educator, I blend evidence-based insight with intuition and lived experience. This means you get the best of both worlds: practical tools rooted in research, and the reassurance of someone who has walked this path herself.

Having lived across cultures, I’ve seen there’s no one “right” way to birth or raise a child. What matters is what feels right for you. I honour your unique rhythm, your values, and your instincts so you can feel proud of the way you show up as a mother.

Through reflective conversations, grounded presence, and the occasional dose of silliness, I walk beside you. You’ll find clarity without overwhelm, and comfort when things feel big.

The connection with your baby is already unfolding. My role is to help you trust it, deepen it, and protect it, so that when birth day arrives, you meet it from a place of knowing, not doubting.

Why Families Work With Me: Doula Support in Rugby & Warwickshire

My Values

Grounded and Transformational.

Intuition

Not every decision can be researched. You already carry the wisdom you need. My role is to reflect it back so you feel safe trusting it.

Embodiment

In a world pulling you every way, I’ll support you to come back to your body so the choices you make feel steady and aligned with what matters most.

Courage

Courage means doing it your way, even when it’s hard. I’ll stand beside you as you choose the path that feels true to you..

Self-Trust

I don’t hand you a script. Instead, I help you recognise that your own wisdom is enough so you can step fully into motherhood with confidence.

a bit about me

I was a mum on a mission to do it perfectly!

Postpartum hit me hard… twice. With my now 5-year-old and 4-year-old, I found myself deep in the trenches of exhaustion and anxiety, spiralling through endless Google rabbit holes. My body was tense, my mind racing, searching for answers about feeding, sleep, baby development, routines… all the things I thought I needed to do to get motherhood “right.” No matter what I tried, I was caught between my instincts and a flood of conflicting advice, feeling like nothing I did was quite enough.

What I wish I’d known then, and what I now help mothers remember, is that we are wired to expect support. Across cultures and history, mothers have had a village to carry them through those intense early days. Without it, everything feels heavier, lonelier, and harder.

You were never meant to do this alone!

As your birth and postnatal doula based in Rugby, Warwickshire, I walk beside you, leading with calm, clear presence and informing you as your unique journey unfolds. You can expect thoughtful questions, practical reassurance, and someone to hold space for your values and your baby’s cues. There’s no one-size-fits-all script here, just care that honours your instincts and your rhythm.
