About Tash | Doula in Sheffield
Hi, I’m Tash.
I’m a certified postnatal doula, Singing Mamas leader and circle facilitator based in Sheffield, supporting families and communities across South Yorkshire.
I create gentle, welcoming spaces where people can feel supported, connected and less alone.
Through postnatal doula support, infant feeding support and circle facilitation, I offer practical help, emotional steadiness and a calm presence during life’s transitions. My approach is shaped by over ten years of facilitating group discussions and workshops, helping people feel heard, respected and able to explore what matters most to them.
Having experienced two very different births myself, I learnt how much the right support and environment can matter. Feeling truly heard, supported and connected can make all the difference in the early weeks and months of parenthood. That understanding sits at the heart of everything I do.
Whether I’m supporting a family after birth, sharing songs with a room full of mothers and babies, or holding space in a circle, my hope is always the same: that people leave feeling more connected to themselves, to others and to their own inner wisdom.
My approach
My long experience in holding group spaces with care, clarity and curiosity supports the way I work: listening deeply, offering information gently, and helping you trust your instincts as you find your own way.
My role as a postnatal doula is not to provide answers or take charge. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you build confidence in your instincts, needs and decisions.
Whether we’re meeting one‑to‑one for postnatal support, or sitting together in a facilitated circle, I aim to create a space where you can slow down, be yourself, and feel supported without pressure or judgement.
What matters to me
My work is rooted in connection, compassion, equity and respect.
I welcome people of all identities, backgrounds and family structures. Here for every kind of family.
You should never feel that you need to shrink yourself, justify your experiences or apologise for your needs. I’m committed to creating spaces where people feel safe, valued and supported to show up exactly as they are.
I am trauma‑informed, inclusive, and committed to holding spaces with care, integrity and gentleness.
Training & Experience
I trained as a doula with Nurturing Birth in 2026, developing the skills to provide compassionate, evidence‑based support throughout pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. My training focused on active listening, informed decision‑making, advocacy and helping families feel confident as they navigate their own unique journey.
I have completed the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (ABM) Foundation Course, strengthening my understanding of infant feeding and enabling me to offer informed, supportive guidance during the early weeks and months after birth. The ABM describes this training as “the knowledge of an informed friend,” someone who can offer grounded support and recognise when a parent may need specialist help.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked as a professional facilitator, designing and guiding group workshops, discussions and reflective spaces. This long practice in holding groups with care, clarity and curiosity deeply informs the way I support families, helping me create environments where people feel heard, respected and able to explore what matters most to them.
I am committed to ongoing professional development so that the spaces I hold remain safe, inclusive and responsive to the people I work with.
