About us

The two of us

Maya and Jenny

Two doulas, one shared way of working. Soft, honest, and never in a hurry.

Our story

Working together since 2018

We met through this work and found we cared for families the same way. So we teamed up as Fern and Dawn, and we have not looked back.

Around thirty families a year trust us with one of the biggest weeks of their lives. We take that quietly, seriously, and with a lot of love.

Who we serve

Every family is welcome here

Single parents, LGBTQ families, surrogacy journeys, everyone. You do not have to explain your family to us. You just have to let us help.

We would love to meet you

Book a free meet and greet over tea at Either/Or, or on Zoom if that is easier.
