Doula Services
As a birth Doula I offer one-to-one continuous support during pregnancy, birth and postpartum, supporting you to feel calm and confident throughout your journey. I support all types of pregnancy and birth, in any setting. This includes caesarean, multiples, home birth, hospital birth and birth at a Midwife Led Unit.
During your pregnancy l will meet with you a number of times to discuss your birth plan, explore your wishes and talk through any concerns you may have. For those interested in hypnobirthing I also offer full hypnobirthing courses, guiding you on the skills of self hypnosis, visualisation and relaxation.
In addition to the in person sessions, I provide ongoing communication and resources during your pregnancy, ensuring you are well-informed, confident, and ready to welcome your little one into the world.
From 38 weeks onwards I will be on call 24/7 for the birth of your baby; when you go into labour you can call me at anytime and I will come to support you.
I offer an initial free, no obligation consultation either over the phone or in person. During this you can get to know me better and we can discuss your preferences, as well as the packages I offer. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and discuss any concerns.
