Katie
Dear Michaela, just a card to say a huge thank you for everything you gave to us during labour. It was such a relief to have someone we knew and trusted by our side throughout the ups and downs. I am in awe of the complexity of your job and how you advocate for and empower people in the midst of such a rigid and inflexible hospital system. I have been so inspired in meeting you. Thank you doesn't seem enough but from the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful. Thanks to you our baby boy came into the world in the best possible circumstances, which was all I wanted for him and I think that will change the course of his life.

ALL ABOUT ME
Birth Doula & Hypnobirthing Practitioner in Bromley, London
My Story
My name is Michaela Kalusova, and I am an experienced birth doula and hypnobirthing practitioner based in Bromley, London. I have supported hundreds of women and families through pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. My mission is simple: to support you in your choices and help you feel empowered, respected, and confident.
My journey into birth work began with my own two very different birth stories. My son was born in a Czech hospital in 2010, where I experienced interventions I had not consented to. In 2016, my daughter was freebirthed at home into my partner’s and my hands. These experiences shaped who I am today and why I am so passionate about offering trauma-informed, compassionate birth support.
As a doula, hypnobirthing teacher, and advocate for women in childbirth, I believe every woman deserves a safe, supported, and positive experience - whatever her path looks like. Whether you are preparing for your first baby, planning a VBAC, or seeking emotional support after a previous birth, I am here to walk beside you.
