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 not only feeling supported, but also that you were truly listened to, deeply respected and that you feel confident that the decisions you made were your own
Birth Doula Support
The moment your baby is born stays in your heart forever, and my wish for you is that you feel prepared, heard and held with kindness and care as you make this journey.
We will share antenatal sessions to get to know each other, explore your unique preferences, and ensure you and your partner 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.
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.
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 calm, practical and emotional support in your home, helping you grow in confidence as you discover your own way of parenting.
I can sit with you as you process your birth, hold your baby while you rest, gently guide you on newborn care, 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. Together, we will create a calm, supported start for you and your baby.
Postnatal Doula Support
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"
