Gentle, grounding support for your fourth trimester
Serving West Sussex & surrounding areas
alice wild - holistic postpartum doula
Why work with me?
You were never meant to do postpartum alone.
The weeks after birth are a threshold. Your body is healing, your world has shifted, and you are learning the rhythms of a new baby while becoming someone new yourself.
This is a time to be held, nourished and deeply cared for, not left to somehow keep everything going.
I’m Alice, a holistic postpartum doula and postnatal care specialist supporting mothers and families across West Sussex. I offer the kind of care I believe women have always needed after birth: warm food, practical hands, herbal support, space to rest, someone to listen, and a steady presence beside you as you find your feet.
My work is rooted in traditional English postpartum practices, nourishment and mother-centred care, creating space for you to soften into these early weeks rather than simply survive them.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You deserve to be mothered, too.

“We are endlessly grateful to Alice Wild for guiding us through the arrival of our first daughter, Iris.
From the very first moment, she brought a wealth of knowledge, creative talent, and an incredible sense of calm and fun.
Alice has a rare gift for making everyone feel at ease - she was there from the moment my partner Love woke to the moment she slept, supporting, advising, and encouraging every step of the way.
Her gentle guidance and unwavering praise helped ease Love’s worries and grow her confidence as a new mum. Truly a remarkable, caring, and intuitive presence - an earth angel in every sense.
