Feel ready for birth, trusting in yourself and totally held from pregnancy to postpartum with me as your doula.

What You’ll Have:

• Unwavering, Continuous Support – Where your medical team may switch up, be held to policies and only see you for 10 minutes per appointment, I’m there through it all; I’ll always hold you and have your back continuously!

• Candid, Compassionate Approach – There’s no copy-and-paste support with me. I adapt to what you need. No sugarcoating, confusion or diminishing talk; we get honest so you know exactly what to expect. You will feel ready, understood, and hopeful about what’s to come during birth and as you transform into parents.

• You-Centred and Deep Birth Prep and Support – We’ll create a bespoke birth and postpartum plan that wholeheartedly honours who you are and what you need, not what you or random people online think you “should” do. I’ll offer you with tools, resources and hand-on support for your partner (or myself). You can work our what may work for you during birth to cope and feel deeply supported and comforted.

• Support for ALL birth types and postpartum choices: Birth is unique and unpredictable. There is no one right way or one-size-fits-all. A positive birth is about how you feel more than it’s about what happens. I support your informed choice so that you experience birth positively and transformationally. So if you choose a homebirth, c-section, to breastfeed or bottle, I’m here for it all and everything in between.

How I do this:

• Free Consultation - Let’s chat! I can meet you somewhere for a coffee/walk or on zoom if you’re not able to meet face to face. A chance to get to know each other and connect to see if I am the right doula for you.

• 3 x 2-hour antenatal Sessions from around 28 weeks at your home: These are to get connected, deeply prepared and empowered for a positive birth and postpartum, with some basic antenatal education, access to information and tools and space for real talk, encouragement and building self-trust and connection with your birth partner.

• Practical and holistic information, support and signposting to pregnancy, birth and postpartum support and service from my access to network.

• Birth and postpartum planning of Plans A, B and C

• Helping you access and understand research/evidence, support and services, while wholeheartedly and non-judgmentally supporting your informed decisions before, during and after birth.

• Continuity of Care: Where you will rarely see the same midwife/doctor and have more than 10 minutes per appointment, I give you a consistent presence and quality time.

• On call 24/7 from 38 weeks

• Keep In Touch - Available for messaging support from 28 weeks onwards (or from booking if done later than this)
