How can a birth and postnatal doula
help you?
Nurturing
Deep Listening
Practical Support
My hope is that when you look back on this chapter of your life, you'll remember feeling supported, truly listened to, deeply respected and confident that the decisions you made were your own
I am trained in Biomechanics for Birth, which uses gentle, simple movements and positions in pregnancy and labour to create more space in the pelvis, help your baby find the best position, and support your body’s natural process of giving birth. These techniques can also ease discomfort during pregnancy. I include Biomechanics for Birth as part of my antenatal and birth package at no extra cost.
Birth Doula Support
The moment your baby is born stays in your heart forever, and my aim is that you feel prepared, heard and supported as you make this journey.
We will share in-depth individual birth preparation sessions to get to know each other, explore your unique preferences, and ensure you and your partner both feel calm and ready for the day your baby arrives.
From the moment you invite me to be your doula, I will be available via text and online for any questions or a simple reassurance whenever you need it.
During the birth, whether at home or in hospital, I will be by your side with unwavering, steady support.
Once your baby is here, I will visit your home to celebrate your new beginning, lend a listening ear and help you with any questions that arise as you settle in.
And after that, I will remain available to you for six weeks, so you know you can rely on my support when you need it.

Postnatal Doula Support
The early weeks with a newborn can feel like a twilight world - a tender time full of love, wonder and joy, alongside sleepless nights, big emotions and many changes.
As your doula, I offer nurturing practical and emotional support in your home, helping you grow in confidence as you discover your own way of parenting.
I can hold your baby while you rest or take a shower, gently guide you on newborn care, accompany you on trips out, or simply make you a cup of tea and listen.
I will make everyday life seem a little lighter by providing a helping hand around the home - ensuring you have eaten, and making sure the laundry doesn't overwhelm you and that there isn't a towering pile of washing up by the sink. Together, we will create a calm, supported start for you and your baby.

Personal Birth & Newborn Preparation
Postnatal Doula Support
My private antenatal sessions are held in your home and shaped around you, your hopes and your individual circumstances. They give you the time and space to feel heard, prepared and supported.
Pregnancy and birth are deeply personal experiences. Unlike group antenatal classes, private sessions offer a calm, personal space where you and your birth partner can feel listened to, supported and free to explore the issues that matter to you.
Whatever your birth plans, we’ll take an evidence-based approach to help you plot your individual path to the day you welcome your baby . You will learn what to expect, put together a comprehensive birth preference sheet, discuss how to advocate for yourself, and talk about comfort measures, breathing techniques and helpful positions.
We’ll also go through what to expect in the early days and weeks with your baby, including feeding, sleep, nappies and caring for your newborn, what is typical and when you or your baby may need to seek extra support, as well as related topics like babywearing - and anything else that is on your mind.

Research has shown that doula care is associated with improved outcomes, such as shorter labours, fewer medical interventions, and a decreased likelihood of caesarean birth. Most importantly, it has been found to foster a higher sense of satisfaction in the birth experience, whatever form the birth takes
"If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it"
