About Me
Harriet Paintin
Doula, Ayurveda Practitioner, Baby Massage Instructor, and Registered Nurse
After a stint of travelling and living abroad I landed in Clapton in 2016 and have been living and working here ever since. I’m a Registered Nurse and have several years of experience working with the NHS, before branching out to start forging my own holistic healthcare path elsewhere! I was privileged to act as birth partner for multiple friends, and so supporting new parents through this transition became my passion.
Having lived in India it seemed natural to me to pursue the healing wisdom of Ayurveda. I love finding ways to integrate aspects of this rich tradition into my daily life, such as a quick self-abhyanga (oil massage) after a shower, or trying a new spice mix adapted to my personal constitution.
"Her presence was a constant source of strength, unwavering support and expertise - for an empowering and positive birth experience, I highly recommend Harriet!" - Hande
