Your doula in Hackney
Certified birth, postnatal and antenatal support for families across Hackney, Homerton and Clapton — warm, evidence-based, and worth the journey.
If you're searching for a doula in Hackney, hello — I'm Imo, a certified doula based in South East London. I travel across to East London to support families through pregnancy, birth and the weeks afterwards.
Hackney and Homerton sit within my wider East London catchment. I'm not based in the area day-to-day, so for birth clients here we'll build a clear plan together for early labour — when to call, how I'll travel, and what to expect — so you have a familiar, calm presence with you well before things become intense.
