Walking Alongside You, Every Step of the Way
I’m Mai — a birth doula based in Worthing, supporting families across Sussex through pregnancy, birth, and the early days of parenthood.
This is one of the most significant journeys of your life, and you deserve to feel calm, informed, and supported every step of the way. I’m here to walk alongside you — not to take over, not to tell you what to do, but to make sure you have the knowledge, reassurance, and steady presence you need to face whatever comes with confidence.
You deserve more than just getting through it
Pregnancy and birth can be profound, beautiful, and at times completely overwhelming. The NHS does an incredible job — but a midwife can't always stay beside you throughout your entire labour. That's where I come in.
When you have a doula with you, the research is clear. A Cochrane systematic review of nearly 16,000 women found that continuous doula support reduces the risk of Caesarean birth by up to 39%, shortens labour by an average of 41 minutes, and makes you 31% less likely to have a negative birth experience overall. The impact doesn't end at birth either — women with doula support are more than 50% less likely to experience postnatal depression.
These aren't small numbers. They reflect something we know intuitively: when you feel held, heard, and supported, birth goes better.
My role is to give you the knowledge and confidence to make informed choices — choices that will have a real impact not just on your birth, but on your postnatal experience and how you begin life with your baby.

Hi, I’m Mai
I became a doula because I believe every person giving birth deserves to feel genuinely supported — not just medically cared for, but truly seen and held throughout one of the biggest experiences of their life.
I'm based in Worthing and support families across Brighton, Hove, and the surrounding West Sussex area. My approach is warm, evidence-based, and completely centred around you and your family's needs.
