Welcome I'm
Sammy Kerrod

Hi, I’m Sammy. Mum to two wild-hearted little ones, doula, holistic sleep consultant, and your go-to support person through the messy, magical, sometimes maddening world of early parenthood and beyond.

I do this work because I’ve lived it. I’ve been the new mum awake at 3am, Googling things with one hand and holding a baby with the other. I’ve felt the sting of returning to work before I was emotionally (or physically) ready. I’ve craved real care... Not just policy-driven check-ins, but someone to look me in the eye and say, “I’ve got you.”

That’s what I now offer other parents:
The care I needed. The space to be seen.
Support that’s practical, evidence-based, and rooted in deep compassion.

Whether you’re preparing for birth, surviving on very little sleep, or rediscovering who you are as you return to work. I’m here for all of it.

Maybe your family lives far away.
Maybe your friends aren’t in the parenting trenches yet.
Maybe you just need someone to hold space while you figure things out.

That’s where I come in, with heart, humour, and zero judgment.

What I offer:

🍼 Birth + postpartum doula care
💤 Holistic baby sleep support
💼 Return-to-work guidance + corporate care

Thanks for being here. I can't wait to walk this journey with you and your little one.

Why This All Matters...

Centring You, the Parent

The early days of parenthood are beautiful, blurry, and often overwhelming.
They bring waves of change, physical, emotional, and relational, and yet, so much of the care and conversation stays focused on the baby.

As a doula and holistic sleep consultant,

my work is to centre you.


To support your rest.
To hold space for your identity shifts.
To help you find rhythm in the chaos.


And to gently remind you: you don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you’re navigating sleep struggles, riding the emotional waves of postpartum, or preparing to return to work. I’m here to offer grounded, compassionate, evidence-based support.

This isn’t just about surviving the early months.
It’s about feeling seen, 
supported, and set up to thrive in a way that makes sense for you.

Because Here’s the Truth:

➤ Mainstream maternity care often ends at the hospital doors.
➤ Postpartum support is a patchwork, if you’re lucky.
➤ And most sleep advice out there ignores both your baby’s needs and your mental health.

You deserve better.
You deserve care that’s consistent, personal, and able to hold the full picture.
The messy moments. The milestones. The identity shifts. The exhaustion. The beauty.

I’m not here to offer a one-size-fits-all solution.
I’m here to walk beside you -


To listen.
To hold space.
To help you reconnect with your instincts and rewrite this chapter on your own terms.

Creating a Safe and Loving Space for You and Your Baby

“Sammy has held my hand right from the start of my pregnancy. Being based in South Africa, I haven’t felt the distance at all. She’s always been so quick to support me, cheerlead me & encourage me to follow my instincts as an expecting mama. Going into birth, I feel so relaxed & ready knowing she’s in my corner.”
