Our Services
How can we help you?
Doula Support Services
At Shiv Associates, we provide compassionate and culturally sensitive doula services to support mothers throughout their pregnancy journey. We carefully match each expectant mother with a doula who shares her religious background and ethnicity, ensuring comfort, trust, and understanding during this important time. Our support extends beyond childbirth — we also assist international doulas to stay with families from two months before delivery and for up to one year after birth, offering continuous emotional, physical, and practical care to promote maternal wellbeing and a positive family experience.
Shiv Associates’ doula support services are provided as non-medical, emotional, and cultural assistance to expectant and new mothers. Our doulas do not offer clinical or midwifery care and are not regulated healthcare professionals.
Care Companion / Emotional Support Worker
At Shiv Associates, our Care Companions provide compassionate, non-clinical support to new fathers, the elderly, and vulnerable adults. This service focuses on companionship, emotional wellbeing, and day-to-day assistance, helping individuals feel valued and connected. Our companions offer meaningful conversation, cultural and faith-based comfort, and practical help with everyday tasks, reducing loneliness and isolation. This role is especially beneficial for those who may not have regular family support and aligns with our charitable mission to promote mental health, dignity, and social inclusion.
Men’s Perinatal Mentor / Fatherhood Support Role
Our Men’s Perinatal Mentor service offers tailored support for new fathers and partners during pregnancy and early parenthood. The mentors provide emotional guidance, help with communication, and encourage active fatherhood to strengthen family wellbeing. Through one-to-one sessions and community engagement, we create a safe space for men to share their experiences, manage stress, and build confidence in their caregiving roles. This unregulated but vital role complements NHS maternity inclusion initiatives by ensuring fathers feel equally supported and involved throughout the perinatal journey.
Perinatal Support Worker (Non-clinical)
Shiv Associates’ Perinatal Support Workers provide non-medical, practical, and emotional assistance to parents before, during, and after childbirth. Acting as a bridge between families and healthcare professionals, they offer reassurance, advocacy, and hands-on help with everyday needs, ensuring a smoother transition into parenthood. This gender-neutral role focuses on holistic family support — from emotional wellbeing to cultural understanding — while remaining strictly non-clinical. By offering this service, Shiv Associates empowers parents with confidence, comfort, and continuity of care during one of life’s most important phases.
