Postnatal Doula | Justine Walsh

Postnatal Doula in London, England | Doula Jussy

I’m Justine, a postnatal doula (Doula Jussy) offering emotional and practical care to families across London, England. I cover north, south, east and west London.

I’m here for you through the fourth trimester, the early months after your baby is born, and beyond, whether it’s your first baby or your fourth.

About me

I’m one of nine children, so caring for others has always come naturally to me. My grandmother was a nanny in the 1940s, and I followed in her footsteps. Her kindness and warmth still shape the way I work.

I’ve spent several decades in childcare, with families in the UK and the United States, helping parents and caring for children of all ages. Becoming a postnatal doula felt like a natural next step. It lets me be fully present with families in the early days of parenthood.

How a postnatal doula can help

Every family is different, so I follow your lead. I might help you rest, cook nourishing meals, lend a hand around the house, or simply listen. I aim to create a calm, trusting and reassuring space where you can feel looked after. I truly love what I do!
