Meet Aude: A French Doula Bringing International Expertise to London

Aude founder of Doula4me is a passionate and experienced French doula, currently based in Clapham. With a background that spans across France, Switzerland, and the UK, Aude brings a unique and open-minded approach to supporting women throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journeys. She tailors her services to meet the individual needs and preferences of each family she works with. Fluent in both English and French, Aude offers her services in both languages, making her support accessible to a wide range of families in London.

Holistic Birth Support

Aude believes that every birth is unique and should be celebrated as such. Whether a birth is physiological, medicalised, or a planned C-section, Aude’s focus is on helping families feel empowered and confident in their decisions. She offers holistic support that is adaptable to any birth type, ensuring that her clients feel informed, prepared, and supported at every stage of the process.

From birth preparation and hypnobirthing techniques to practical tips for navigating labour, Aude is there to guide her clients through each step of their journey.

Comprehensive Postnatal Care

In addition to her birth support, Aude also specialises in postnatal care. She understands that the weeks following birth can be physically and emotionally challenging, and she is dedicated to helping new mothers feel supported and cared for during this time. Her postnatal services include both emotional and practical support, from helping with baby care to offering guidance on recovery and wellbeing.

Aude is also trained in a variety of nurturing postnatal treatments, including Bengkung belly binding, Rebozo massages, and techniques like closing the pelvis and bones. These treatments are designed to help new mothers feel physically restored and emotionally grounded after birth.

Mind-Body Connection

Aude’s approach to doula care is rooted in the belief that a strong connection between mind and body is essential for a positive birth experience. She incorporates techniques such as hypnosis and massage into her practice to help mothers feel relaxed, empowered, and connected to their bodies both during and after birth.

Local and Virtual Support

Based in South West London, Aude provides her services to families in areas such as Clapham and Battersea. However, her support is not limited to local families – Aude also offers virtual services, allowing her to provide guidance and care to families across the globe. This flexibility means that wherever you are, you can benefit from Aude’s expertise and compassionate care.

Supporting All Types of Birth

Aude is committed to breaking the misconception that doulas only support physiological births. She understands that every family’s birthing experience is different, and she is equally skilled at supporting births with medical interventions, including epidurals and C-sections. Her open-minded and flexible approach ensures that her clients feel fully supported, no matter what type of birth they experience.

Let’s Connect!

Her mantra is simple yet powerful: HAPPY MUMMY, HAPPY BABY. Aude’s ultimate goal is to ensure that mothers feel nurtured, supported, and confident, which in turn creates a positive environment for their babies.

If you’re looking for a French doula in London who can provide both local and virtual care, Aude is here to help. Together, you can make your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey as calm, empowering, and positive as possible.
