Doula Support
It has been proven that there are many benefits to having continuous support from a doula. As your Doula, I will ensure that you are supported, looked after and fully informed as you prepare to give birth.
If you're interested in any of my packages or sessions, please get in touch and we can organise an in-person (or phone/zoom if you'd prefer) meeting to talk about what will work best for you and find the package that you will most benefit from. This is a a free meeting, about 30-45 minutes, with no obligation to book anything further.
If you decide I am the right fit for you, we can start working together straight away, regardless of where you are in your pregnancy - even if you haven't yet conceived!
Regardless of what option you choose, I will be available throughout your pregnancy and post-natally to support you.
“The childbirth rite of passage is an opportunity for transformation and empowerment that influences a woman’s sense of self and her approach to mothering”
Dr Rachel Reed
Packages
Supporting the birth that's right for you. As your Doula, I will be available to you throughout your pregnancy, birth and fourth trimester. From the moment you decide to hire me, I will work tirelessly to ensure you feel ready and equipped to give birth, feeling informed and respected, listened to and advocated for. I will be there to answer your questions and help sign post you to trustworthy information. I will research any specialist requirements that may occur and ensure that you are informed and able to make decisions that benefit you best.
You can pick and choose the pieces that you want or opt for full packages. My role is to support you physically and emotionally. That might be fewer ante-natal and more post-natal, or vice versa. It might change as we go along, waiting to see how things unfold. All packages come with free access to The Birth Uprising online Hypnobirthing Pack.
THE OYSTER PACKAGE
WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT
Pregnancy - Birth - Postpartum
Wrap-around support means that we will meet during your pregnancy, I will be with you for your labour and birth and will continue to support you postnatally.
When we meet, my priority will be getting you feeling able, ready and excited - to help you truly believe in your incredible ability to give birth. When your labour starts, I will come to you and stay with you, either at home or in hospital, until your baby is born. I will protect your golden hour and make sure you're settled, comfortable and happy before I leave. I will then visit you postnatally where we can fully debrief your birth, I can help you with breastfeeding, offer information on local support groups and generally check on your well-being. The variations in the packages revolve around how often we meet in your pregnancy and postnatally however, if you want a bespoke package, outside of these options, just get in touch!

THE ALBA PACKAGE
POSTPARTUM SUPPORT
The fourth trimester looks different for everyone. For some, snuggling down and hibernating with their newborn feels right and for others, getting up and out, parading the streets with your new baby is important too.
It is hard to know beforehand what you want postnatally but I am here to support whatever you want and need for this journey. That might be helping support your breastfeeding journey, sitting and talking through your birth experience and how your feel emotionally. It could be a foot rub and relaxation or could be a walk on the beach. I can help with cooking, cleaning or looking after the baby while you rest. I can recognise where you might need extra support and offer it to you gently I will be working with you one-on-one and everything I provide is bespoke to you.
There isn't necessarily a one size fits all package but am always open to providing support based on people's individual needs so if you have any questions, please do get in touch.
