Birth Doula in Bognor Regis | Radiant Birth Journey
Bognor Regis is one of the closest areas I cover — just a short drive along the coast from my base in Worthing. That proximity means I can be with you quickly when labour starts, which is one of the most reassuring things a birth doula can offer any family.
I'm Mai, and I provide birth doula support to families in Bognor Regis and across the western stretch of the West Sussex coastline. The drive from Worthing to Bognor Regis takes around 15–20 minutes along the A259 — it's a route I know well, and one I build into my planning as standard so there are no surprises when it matters most.
Whether you're approaching your first birth or you're pregnant again and looking for a different kind of experience, I'm here to offer steady, warm, continuous support from our very first conversation right through to those early days at home with your new baby.
What does a birth doula do?
A birth doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support through pregnancy, labour, and the early postnatal period. I'm not a midwife — but I work alongside your midwifery team so that you always have someone in your corner. My role is to help you feel informed, prepared, and genuinely supported, whatever your birth looks like.
I offer antenatal preparation sessions, full birth support however long that takes, and a postnatal visit once your baby has arrived. For a full picture of what's included, visit the birth doula support page.
Why choose Mai
I have a calm, grounded approach. I don't push a particular birth philosophy or steer you towards a specific type of birth — I work with you to build confidence in your own choices, and stay with you if those plans change.
Bognor Regis families choose to work with me because:
I'm just down the road. Worthing to Bognor Regis is one of the shortest journeys in my area. I'm close, I'm familiar with the route, and I plan ahead so I can move quickly when you need me.
I limit my client list. I take on a small number of clients at a time, which means you get real availability — not a rushed service stretched too thin.
I'm steady under pressure. Birth can be unpredictable. Having someone calm and experienced beside you matters more than most people realise until they're in it.
I advocate for you. Whether you're navigating a change of plan or finding your voice in a busy clinical environment, I'm there to support and speak up on your behalf.
Birthing at St Richard's Hospital, Chichester
Most families in Bognor Regis birth at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester — around 10 miles away. I'm familiar with the unit and comfortable supporting families there. During our antenatal sessions, we'll talk through your birth preferences, explore your options, and make sure you feel confident and prepared ahead of the day — so that if anything changes, you know exactly where you stand.
Service area
I'm based in Worthing and cover Bognor Regis, Chichester, Littlehampton, Arundel, Selsey, and surrounding areas across West Sussex. Distance is rarely a barrier — if you're unsure whether you're in my area, just get in touch and I'll let you know.
