Zara de Candole
Doulabud
I’m Zara, I live in Godalming, Surrey, with my husband Adie and our two grown-up sons, Henry and Corry. Their births—one with intervention, one natural—taught me how much choice and knowledge matter in childbirth. Raising my children has been my greatest joy, and after supporting friends as a doula, I became a certified Doula UK member to help others on their journey into parenthood. I am an experienced doula, infant feeding counsellor, and creative healing massage practitioner. I stay up-to-date with regular study, but my biggest inspiration comes from the families I work with. Outside of work, I enjoy time with family, my pets, coffee, wine, running, and exploring the countryside.
Laura Stocks
Birth Mother | Me
I’m Laura Stocks, I live in Grayshott, Surrey. I am a Doula supporting women and families across Surrey and Hampshire in preparing for birth. I have three children, each born in different settings—a labour ward, a midwife-led unit, and at home—but all were positive and empowering experiences. I believe in helping women overcome fears and embrace the power of birth through knowledge and support. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, good food, dancing, and laughter. If you think I could support you on your journey, I’d love to chat!
