Amisha led a training in July 2025 that deepened my understanding of human rights in childbirth while reinforcing the importance of compassionate, rights-based advocacy.
Amisha was an exceptional educator and facilitator, combining in-depth knowledge with practical guidance that made the learning both accessible and immediately applicable.
Most importantly, the training was a powerful reminder that every birthing person deserves dignity, respect, autonomy, and compassionate care.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Amisha as a birth educator and birth advocate to anyone supporting birthing people or preparing for their own birth journey. My experience was both professionally enriching and personally affirming.

Amisha is an incredible doula. I have witnessed them develop from the start of their journey within a charitable organisation, Neighbourhood Doulas (ND) CIO as well as privately. Amisha uses their expertise within Human Reproductive rights, perinatal nuances for Trans and Non-binary, Black and brown folk and provides calm, compassionate support. Her global influence and personal interest in Sri Lankan birth practices can be seen across her social media where they have a strong & creative presence for advocacy, knowledge-sharing and amplifying issues that they are passionate about. Amisha consistently acts for systemic change. We have co-taught Childbirth classes with ND since 2023 and I love the energy and knowledge they bring and the capacity to work with excellence within a team or independently. I highly recommend Amisha to anyone looking for support in the perinatal period.

I attended Amisha's birth advocacy workshop where I learnt so much about human rights, birth rights, advocacy skills and how this applies to pregnancy support. I left feeling really empowered and informed about how to advocate for my clients. If you're pregnant or want to learn more about birth advocacy I highly recommend Amisha. She's very knowledgeable, friendly, and calming.

I would highly recommend Amisha. She is incredibly calm, supportive, and resourceful. She was a huge help during the early weeks with my daughter, and her flexible approach made a real difference. Her warm, positive, and calming nature was especially reassuring and helped settle my very fussy baby, particularly during the evenings.
She also shared lots of helpful resources and was always quick to respond whenever I had questions or needed support. Her guidance gave me confidence during a challenging time, and I’m so grateful for her help. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring doula.

The organisation I belong to recently booked Amisha to give a talk on Advocacy in Pregnancy & Birth as she has a wealth of knowledge and experience in this area.
The presentation was accessible, engaging, and interactive. We gained useful insights and, rather than just discussing theory, came away with practical tools that could be immediately applied to our work as birth educators. We also gained tools and strategies that we can share with our pregnant clients and their families to help them navigate challenges within their maternity care.
Amisha is a passionate doula and advocate, and I highly recommend her services to both expectant families and birth workers looking for valuable CPD.

Amisha supported my sister throughout her pregnancy, and it was so lovely to see the care and support that was provided every step of the way. They made everything feel much less overwhelming and was great at explaining things in a way that was easy to understand. Amisha’s calm, friendly approach helped everyone feel more relaxed and supported. We’re really grateful for everything they did and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a doula.

Amisha is a wonderful doula. I attended their workshop about supporting queer and trans people during pregnancy and birth in London. I learnt so much about physiological birth and left feeling empowered about my choices. I also learned how to wrap a baby in a sling which is surprisingly easier than it looks.

Amisha is a birth doula and childbirth educator. It was a privilege to see Amisha run a workshop at the YogaBirth CPD event, Amisha has also spoken to pregnant people at a pregnancy yoga class previously (Blossoming Lotus Pregnancy Yoga Classes) regarding Birth Rights. At the YogaBirth event Amisha talked about Advocacy for pregnant people during pregnancy and birth. Amisha’s passion shines through, Amisha’s workshop was engaging, interesting, interactive as well as informative. Amisha is calm, kind, caring and has profound knowledge, definitely worth reaching out to Amisha to be your birth doula or simply if you require any sort of support in your pregnancy and birthing journey. ♥️♥️♥️

Amisha supported me during a very difficult pregnancy. I had been bed bound and very isolated so, having regular and helpful contact with Amisha was a blessing.
Before our sessions I didn't have much knowledge of my pregnancy rights. Unfortunately, the NHS had left gaps in providing sufficient information. I am glad to have met Amisha, who was a positive and responsive presence. Who helped to bring balance, clarity and kindness to my maternal health experience.

Amisha was a fantastic doula-- sensitive, knowledgeable, and a great listener. I loved their queer-friendly and trauma informed approach, which helped me when I was feeling scared and overwhelmed. Amisha supported me during a long and complicated induction and helped me have a birth where I felt seen and cared for, even with all the complications.

After a difficult first birth, Amisha completely transformed my birthing experience second time around. Her prenatal sessions were so empowering and informative and helped me reframe my whole attitude to the birthing process. I have such positive memories and associations of my second birth and it is completely down to Amisha's help and guidance through the journey. Outside of our formal sessions and the actual birth, she was constantly checking in and providing advice and reassurance. She is a lovely, genuine and caring person and I would definitely recommend her.

Amisha is a fantastic doula, could not recommend more highly!! Amisha was amazing at preparing us for the delivery, advocating for us when we needed help during delivery and giving us extremely helpful advice. Strongly recommend
— Penny Deans
We decided to get support from a doula towards the latter end of pregnancy of our first child. Having spoken to a few doulas, Amisha felt like the right fit. Her wisdom, knowledge, and pragmatism stood us in good stead for preparing for birth and post partum, and then navigating those life-changing moments when we were in them. We were both so glad to have had Amisha every step of the way. She offered us just the right kind of advice and information we needed as we worked on the birth plan and figuring out what was right for us. Unlike some other doulas we spoke to, her openness and lack of judgement was so refreshing. She was also very available to us when we had queries or wanted to catch up.
We can't imagine having gotten through the delivery without Amisha. She helped both of us at the moment where we most needed supportive but clear headed advice. Without her calm presence, the experience we had may have been much less positive. We're so glad to have had Amisha's support and knowledge on hand before, during and after.

I’ll never forget Amisha, The day we met I was inside the hospital just in the process of taking an intimate examination, intimate is an understatement! Let’s just say Amisha and I bonded immediately and she supported me and immediately, I felt like yes the storm is over finally. Amisha was a breath of fresh air from that very moment, She just knew everything and was my voice at every point of the way. She ensured my Birthing Plan was upheld at every level possible. Amisha made me feel empowered and confident about my rights and birthing experience. I would highly recommend Amisha to everyone and I have openly shared my beautiful experiences with friends and family since that day. Every woman deserves to have a Doula like Amisha. Thank you for all you do for women like me and when I look at my baby I know he is here safe and sound today because of your professionalism and strength. Bless your soul. You deserve all the happiness you give others. Thank you. Sapphire

Amisha was an incredible support system throughout my journey. From the very beginning, she was warm, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. Her extensive knowledge and comforting presence helped me feel more confident and prepared every step of the way.
What truly stood out was how proactive she was—not only did she provide direct support, but she also guided me toward additional resources and services that I didn’t even know I needed. Her care goes beyond the basics, and it’s clear she’s genuinely passionate about helping others.
I would absolutely recommend Amisha to anyone looking for a doula. Her professionalism, kindness, and depth of knowledge make her an invaluable part of any birth experience.
— Zainab Ade
Amisha is the most amazing and caring birth worker. We did our antenatal classes with them, and they were so informative, approachable, and thoughtful. They made sure to answer all of mine and my partner’s questions with such care and sensitivity, which made us feel really supported and prepared.
I had a lot of anxiety, especially as my baby was overdue, and Amisha supported me in an incredibly calm and nonjudgmental manner. They walked me through all of my options, always making space for how I felt and helping me feel grounded. Their support played a huge role in helping me let go of my nervousness and approach the birth with more confidence and trust. I’m so grateful we had Amisha by our side and would recommend her to anyone who is preparing to be a new parent.

Absolutely brilliant birth worker - so supportive and respectful of our journey and preferences at every point. I felt much more secure and confident going into the birth process knowing Amisha would be advocating for us. I would absolutely recommend them to any friend who wanted additional support around birth.
