Birth Care & Support

About Me

​

Hi, I’m Emily-Clare Hill—a birth prep, birth, and postpartum doula here to walk alongside you during this powerful, life-changing time. My mission is to help you feel calm, informed, and supported as you move through pregnancy, birth, and those first tender days with your baby.

 

I’ve spent nearly two decades as a yoga teacher, holding space for people to feel connected, empowered, and at ease in their bodies and lives. For over ten years, I’ve run our beloved yoga studio in Stoke Newington, a hub of community and connection. My work has always been about helping people feel grounded and seen—and becoming a doula felt like a natural (and beautiful) extension of that.

 

I’m also someone who finds joy in simple, grounding things—walking in nature, a slow cup of tea, and creating a home that feels calm, beautiful, and welcoming. I treasure my close friendships, mother wholeheartedly, and believe presence is one of my greatest gifts. I’m tactile, warm, and unhurried, yet forward when the moment calls for it—always speaking with care and intention. I’m not a perfectionist; I’m a realist with a soft heart, meeting life as it comes.

 

Now, as a mother to a bold and brilliant four-year-old, I bring not just professional experience but lived wisdom to this work. Motherhood has softened me, deepened me, and shown me just how important it is to feel truly supported—and I want to offer that to you.

​

I offer care in:

 

• The highs and lows of pregnancy

• Evidence-based birth planning

• Full antenatal education (with a handy birth guide too!)

• Birth prep sessions focused on hypnobirthing, birth choices, movement & nervous system support

• Movement and body awareness to support you and your baby’s birth journey

• Creating a safe, nurturing birth space & why

• Preparing for those early baby days with gentle insight into feeding, soothing, settling & your healing

 

 

Everything is thoughtfully organised so you feel held—not overwhelmed.

 

Over time, I’ve found it’s really helpful to have a full birth kit—things you might not think to buy, or only use once. So to save you the hassle (and the waste!), I offer clients a hireable birth kit filled with all the bits that make a big difference on the day: a TENS machine, birth ball, peanut ball, easy-to-pack-away string lights, acupressure balls, myofascial release balls, and a lovely squishy, foldable mat for comfort wherever you birth. One less thing to worry about.

 

Training:

 

• Trained with Red Tent Doulas and connected to a strong, vibrant community of birth workers

• Bio-mechanics for birth with Molly O’Brien

• Hypnobirthing Teacher with Mama Serene and Emily Bray

• Breastfeeding and Lactation Fundamentals with Katie James

• Peanut Ball support with Wendy Procter

 

 

I believe that birth is a deeply personal experience—and no matter what your path looks like, I’ll be there with compassion, clarity, and zero judgment. Let’s walk this road together—with love, calm, and care.

 

I am based in London in Hackney; 

I am happy to serve clients throughout Hackney, Islington, Camden & Haringey. If you're close to this we could still make it work.
