Doula & Hypnobirthing Support with Kate Wallace in West Sussex

I felt like I really connected with Kate instantly upon meeting her. I felt very at ease in her company. It’s quite a hard decision to make as this person is going to be in your space during quite a vulnerable time so having that instant connection was a wonderful thing. Kate was always there to sit and listen, whether I was having an issue with breastfeeding or feeling a little low, Kate was easy to open up to and gave well informed advice. She was very attentive to my physical needs post c-section. She made sure that I was not doing too much (I find it very hard to sit still), she offered relaxing massages and made sure I did not lift anything beyond my means.

Words cannot describe the difference it made to have Kate support myself and the family during this time, the sense of relief I would feel knowing that she would be there that day. Having a toddler and a newborn, healing and trying to keep on top of laundry and housework was a lot for me and having a messy space really affects my headspace. Kate knows this and she would magic a room into order for me so that my head could be clear at the end of the day and I could relax.
I did not have a doula with my first daughter and the difference that it makes to your postpartum experience is unparalleled. To have that level of support from another female transforms your journey post birth.

Kate has a beautiful and calm manner, she is kind and respectful. She reads what you need and just does without asking, she has a fantastic intuition that way. She knows when to step in and when to back away from a situation.’

Having Kate present not just once but for all three of our children’s births has been a real blessing. From the very first moments, she brought such calm, reassurance and expertise to the space that we knew we wanted her by our side again. She supported us through each unique experience, always adapting to what we needed in the moment.

As a dad, I can’t overstate how much her guidance helped me feel confident and involved. She showed me how to support my partner in meaningful ways, turning what could have been overwhelming moments into ones full of connection and strength.

Kate is a source of encouragement and support for our family since those early moments until now. I would thoroughly recommend having her as your doula.

Of course I’m going to be biased when I say this but having my mum at the birth of all my babies was one of the most special and comforting experiences of my life. Knowing she was not only my mum but also a trained doula gave me an incredible sense of reassurance. She brought so much wisdom and care to the process, seamlessly blending being my mum and my doula.

She knew exactly how to support me physically and emotionally, helping me stay calm and focused during labour. Her presence also gave my partner confidence, as she gently guided him in how to best support me. She was there every step of the way, creating a peaceful and loving environment that made each birth feel magical.

Having my mum by my side as both a mother and a doula was a gift I’ll cherish forever. It deepened our bond and gave me the strength and encouragement I needed to bring our babies into the world.

I had really bad shoulder pain from repetitive strain and Kate sorted it out with an hour of the most relaxing, revitalising massage. Was totally refreshed and shoulder was perfect! Thank you Kate, looking forward to my next massage- would thoroughly recommend

Kate led the 3 Step Process to run through my son’s challenging hospital birth and some of the issues we faced in the postpartum period, as I was still holding on to elements of ptsd following a long hospital stay pre and post birth, and a lack of feeling heard whilst in the hospital, and in the following months whilst dealing with a child with allergies. She was incredibly calming, soothing and a fantastic listener, and I came out of the sessions (and over the past few weeks since the sessions) a lot lighter than I have been for years! Kate’s way of listening made me feel I could trust her to discuss everything, and it’s really made a difference to my day-to-day life. I highly recommend the 3 step process with Kate if you have some sort of birth trauma, no matter how big or small!

Kate’s breastfeeding support was everything I needed. In those early days when feeding felt overwhelming and I was full of questions and self-doubt, she brought such calm, clarity and reassurance. She listened with genuine care, never rushed me and offered gentle, practical guidance that helped me tune into both my baby and myself. What made the biggest difference was how seen and understood I felt. Kate didn’t just give advice—she held space for me to explore what felt right, reminded me that I was doing a good job and helped me find my own rhythm with feeding. Her knowledge as a Mindful Breastfeeding Practitioner and her ability to quickly understand where I was with it all made all the difference. Thanks to her support, I grew in confidence and feeding has became something I actually enjoy. I will always be grateful for her presence in those early days.
