Doula · Henley-on-Thames · RG9
Henley families typically choose between the Royal Berkshire in Reading and, for some, the John Radcliffe in Oxford. A few choose home birth or one of the central London private hospitals. As your Henley doula, I help you think through the geography honestly — drive times, transfer plans, postnatal preferences — and we design from there.
35–40 minutes from Windsor.
What it looks like
We meet in your home in Henley for two prenatal visits. I am on call from 38 weeks. When labour begins we agree, in the moment, how soon I should set off — Henley is comfortably reachable, and I would rather arrive early and quietly settle in than rush in late.
Local rhythm
Henley mothers often value a slower, more considered postpartum — the Postpartum Sanctuary Day and Birth Debrief Sessions are particularly well used here. I bring referrals to local infant-feeding specialists and women's osteopaths.
Hospitals I attend from Henley-on-Thames

The John Radcliffe is the main maternity hospital for Oxford and the wider Oxfordshire catchment, and serves some families on the Oxfordshire-Berkshire-Buckinghamshire borders — particularly those choosing it for its specialist services or family ties to the area.
