About Me

​

Hello, I’m Callen, a certified doula based in Islington, London, originally from the United States. My work as a doula is rooted in trust, empathy, and unwavering support. I believe in the power of being present and creating a safe space for the families I support.

​

My journey into doula work started with a deep pull toward more heart-centered, hands-on work. As a former news presenter, I realized I needed to be more directly involved in one-on-one support. This became clear when I was invited to witness (and film) the birth of my nephew—an experience that moved and inspired me to become part of the transformative process of childbirth. As we doulas say, I caught the “birth bug” that day!

​

I went on to complete the Developing Doulas training course, diving into compassionate care and learning how to empower families, no matter their circumstances. My philosophy is all about being an open ear, offering an open heart, and providing non-judgmental support to every family I work with.

​

I’m a full-spectrum doula, which means I offer both birth and postnatal support—you can choose one or both. My role is to provide compassionate care as you transition into parenthood. My ultimate goal is to meet your needs and honor your choices. I’m not here to tell you what to do; instead, I aim to empower you with options and provide the support you need to make informed decisions that feel right for you and your family.
