I'M HARRIET

Born and raised in the English countryside, I’ve been calling Amsterdam home since 2014. I'm a postpartum doula and a lover of food, books and slow(ish) living

My lifelong love of babies, and a desire for a fulfilling career led me to train as a doula in 2020. I’m a qualified birth doula, but through supporting clients post-birth I quickly realised that for me postpartum is where the magic happens and I’ve since shifted to working solely in the postpartum world.

Since then I have joined The Postnatal Doula Academy, a community of postnatal doulas ready to change the narrative of postpartum life for all birthing people. I have also become a Certified Perinatal Nutrition Expert, armed with the evidence-based information to help you to feel your best.

Nourish & Nest was born in 2024, along with my own son.

Those first weeks were an absolute whirlwind filled with seemingly endless breastfeeding, resting whenever and however I could, and trying to take care of this small delicate baby.

Balancing his needs and mine was a full-time job, but having the love and support of the people around me alongside access to nourishing meals I felt calm and in-control.

Having a baby is a magical time, and you deserve all the support you need to feel like the powerhouse that you truly are.

Harriet advocated our preferences without diminishing the role of anyone else involved in our birth and cheered me on from the sidelines when I lost faith in myself. Plus, she's pretty good at back rubs when the contractions take over!

Harriet was my rock throughout pregnancy and especially during those first weeks of motherhood. Whenever I needed, she was there: advice, words of wisdom, and sometimes just to tell me to chill out - everything is fine! I can’t imagine having gone through this without her support there. She was the level head I needed on my shoulders and I am truly thankful to have someone like Harriet that I could, and can continue to, count on.

Harriet was our doula and she was there for us so much during the pregnancy and having here there during labour was amazing, she was such a huge part of our experience and for that I will be forever grateful!
