Welcome to The Mum Pod

Providing comfort and support to parents

Sammy Kerrod

SURREY SLEEP CONSULTANT & DOULA

Hi lovely human, welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Sammy: a mum of two, a certified doula (via Developing Doulas), and an OCN Level 6 Holistic Sleep Coach . The highest accredited sleep coaching qualification in the UK. I support families in Camberley, Frimley, and across Surrey with gentle, evidence-based sleep support and compassionate birth and postnatal care.

This work was born from my own journey: the beauty and chaos of early parenthood, the ache of returning to work before I was ready, and the deep knowing that families deserve more than quick fixes and one-size-fits-all advice.

My mission is simple: to hold space for parents during life’s biggest transitions. From birth and those hazy early days, through sleep-deprived nights, to the complex return-to-work moments.

As both a doula and sleep coach, my approach is holistic, responsive, and rooted in evidence as well as lived experience. I believe every parent deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered to make the choices that are right for their family.

Whether I’m guiding your baby’s sleep, walking alongside you through birth, or offering reassurance in the postnatal weeks, you’ll always have me in your corner, cheering you on, without judgment.

Because this work is personal.
Because you’re not meant to do it all alone.
Because the way we care for parents, especially at the edges, matters.

Empower Yourself

"HARD TRUTHS"

Bridging honesty with hope.

✗​  Appointments are often rushed, and emotional needs are overlooked in favor of clinical efficiency.

✗​ Consent isn't always truly informed when common interventions are presented as standard without full discussion of risks, options, or alternatives.

✗​ Dismissal of Pain and Intuition when a mother’s instincts or expressed concerns (e.g. pain, fetal movement, postpartum symptoms) are too often downplayed. Leading to traumatic outcomes or delayed care.

✗​ Birth is often treated like a procedure, not a rite of passage. There's little room for nuance, emotion, or cultural practices.

✗​ Support ends too soon and there is poor continuity of care postpartum. Emotional health, breastfeeding struggles, healing, and sleep are barely addressed unless there’s a crisis.

✗​ Mental health screenings are minimal and resources scarce.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!
