I'm passionate about supporting physiology in pregnancy, birth and postpartum through movement, informed decision-making and emotional support. I’m also an advocate for perinatal mental health, creating the environment required for each individual to thrive in parenthood.
I have a particular interest in helping women in business transition from their ‘work selves’ into motherhood and navigating Matrescence. This can look like going from a busy, successful career into a new full-time role, where you’re learning a completely new set of skills.
My postpartum care includes focusing on helping you settle into your new routine, establish feeding, and bonding with your baby. I’m here to support by providing nourishing food and practical help, as well as debriefing your experiences and helping you to make sense of your new landscape. I love to cook and create experiences designed to benefit postpartum recovery.
If something specific would help you during this time, I’m open to it!
Hi, I’m Chloe, here to support you from pregnancy through to parenthood.
I’ve been fascinated by the physiology of birth long before becoming a doula, and studied Biomedical sciences at university as a result.
Before my training, I worked as a Product Manager in the Fintech industry for six years, responsible for launching complex tech products in high-pressure environments and making business decisions with senior stakeholders. I realised that corporate life wasn’t the right fit for me. Looking back, what I enjoyed most about my time in Tech was the ability to make impactful decisions that resulted in better experiences for customers. However, I wanted my day-to-day to be more person-centred, and I felt called to birth work.
Once I left my job, and having trained as a Pregnancy and Postnatal Pilates instructor, I wanted to use the skills I’d learned as a Product Manager and open my own business. I went ahead and opened a Pilates, Yoga and Events space in London Fields - @starrstudiouk.
I’ve spent a lot of time teaching new mums postnatal pilates with their babies on mats next to them, and I loved the community and loyalty built from this group. In addition, we hosted baby massage, pregnancy NCT classes and baby sound baths.
Through this experience it became clear to me the power of community, and the importance of holding space for you to connect and soften into mothering and parenthood.
