Nestled Doula Support | with Rachel

Rachel Mirow - Norfolk Doula

My journey into becoming a birth and postnatal doula began with my own experiences of pregnancy and motherhood. I have two daughters and my birth experiences were so deeply empowering, they opened my eyes to how strong and capable you can feel at birth when surrounded by the right care and understanding.

Before becoming a doula, I spent several years serving as a police officer. While that role taught me strength, empathy and resilience, it was becoming a mother that truly redefined me. And because of this, in 2025, I left policing to dedicate myself to supporting families as they welcome new life into the world.

I believe every family deserves to feel informed, confident, and nurtured - not just during pregnancy and birth, but throughout the precious postnatal period. As a doula, I bring a calm, grounded presence, a listening ear, and a heartfelt belief that every birth and parenthood journey is unique.

I have completed professional birth & postnatal doula training with Nurturing Birth and continue to reflect on and develop my doula work through their ongoing mentoring programme. I am also a member of Doula UK.

When I’m not at a birth or postnatal visit, you’ll usually find me at home dancing in the kitchen with my girls, pottering in the garden, learning to crochet or enjoying a good cup of tea (and cake) with family and friends.
