I am here to help you draw up your own map and fill your suitcase with tools
Sarah Drawwater - The Nostalgic Doula
I believe that birth is a journey, it is one portion of a lifelong story that we embark on during our own births.​
Planning your journey doesn’t mean that you must plot a route and idly stick to it, oh no: There may be unexpected barriers and detours required to get to your destination, and that’s ok, almost to be expected. But with some careful planning, a little bit of soul searching and the right support you will draw up your map of the whole landscape, ensuring that you stay in control of the twists and turns in your journey.
I am here to help you draw up your own map and fill your suitcase with tools.
I will support you to get to know yourself and what is important to you, to gain trust in yourself and your body’s ability, and importantly, to communicate your needs with those around you effectively too.
My Services
From ÂŁ950
As your birth doula, I’ll provide unwavering support, evidence-based information, and a calming presence throughout your pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Together, we’ll create a safe and nurturing environment to help you feel confident and in control of your birthing journey.
From ÂŁ39.99
In my Birth Prep & Hypnobirthing courses I use the Birth Prep In A Box toolkit I created, which is flexible and bespoke, designed to suit the unique needs of each family. All private and group sessions provide practical techniques to help you feel calm, confident, and ready for a positive birthing experience.
ÂŁ20-30
My postnatal and night doula services offer compassionate, tailored support to help you navigate the early days and nights of parenthood. Whether you need practical assistance or a reassuring presence, I’m here to make those moments a little easier for your family.
From ÂŁ150
My virtual doula service offers personalised support and guidance, no matter where you are in the world. Through video calls, messages, and tailored resources, I’ll be with you every step of the way, helping you feel informed, reassured, and confident throughout your journey.
From ÂŁ60
I offer birth pool hire locally in the PE26 area and nationwide postal hire of The Birth Sling, a versatile tool for active birth positioning. Both options include a six-week rental period, with the sling delivered via recorded post and the pool available for collection.
Why choose me?
At the heart of my work are the values of time, care, and quality information. I take on only a handful of clients each year, allowing me to offer truly personalised and attentive support. With unlimited antenatal visits included in my packages, we’ll have the time to explore your preferences, answer your questions, and prepare for your birth in a way that feels right for you.
As the creator of Birth Prep In A Box, a highly regarded antenatal toolkit used by families and birth workers alike, I bring a unique resource to my clients. This toolkit is woven into my care, combining practical techniques, evidence-based information, and thoughtful preparation to help you and your partner feel calm, confident, and ready for the journey ahead.
By choosing me as your Doula, you’re not just hiring support—you’re gaining a dedicated companion who understands the power of preparation, connection, and creating a birth experience that’s uniquely yours. Let’s work together to make your birth story one you’ll cherish forever.
