Doula Support

Just as I support families in preparing for birth and during labor, I also offer emotional and practical support during the postnatal period. I guide new parents through the early stages of family life by providing essential assistance both day and night.

​

Nighttime Support

Nighttime care is there to give you the deeper rest your body and mind truly need. It can look like taking over nappy changes, settling and even feeding if baby is bottle-fed or combination-fed. So you can enjoy longer uninterrupted stretches of sleep.

If your baby allows and it would support you, I can also quietly reset the space: tidying the kitchen or dinner things, preparing breakfast for the morning, restocking nappy stations, folding laundry - anything that brings ease while keeping the night calm and quiet.

I arrive at a time that suits your family and follow your preferred routines, keeping everything gentle and quiet while ensuring both you and your baby feel held, supported and safe throughout the night.

 

Daytime Support

During the day, my role is to bring calm, practical help and emotional steadiness into your home. The support looks different for every family, but often includes:

• Supporting you with feeding your baby - whether you're breastfeeding, bottle feeding, expressing or finding a combination that works for you.

• Holding and settling your baby so you can rest, shower or simply take a moment to breathe, gently helping you find your own natural rhythms and offering grounding support through the emotional waves that postpartum can bring.

• Helping with older children, light housework and preparing nourishing home-cooked meals so you can focus fully on healing, bonding, and easing into life with your newborn.​

 

I’m here to support families in whatever way works best for you - whether that’s a few hours a week or more full-time help over several months. My aim is to gradually step back as you grow more confident in your new role, adjusting my hours as needed. But even when I’m not with you, I’m always just a phone call away for any advice or reassurance you might need.

​

Unlike a nanny or maternity nurse, a postnatal doula offers more than just baby care. I’m here to nurture and empower the whole family, with a special focus on the mother's needs for healing, recovery and supported feeding - whatever that looks like for your family. I’ll make sure you’re well-rested, well-nourished and always have someone to talk to. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel fully cared for during this tender time.

 

Please note that I do not provide medical advice or use any sleep-training methods that involve leaving your baby to cry alone. All bookings for blocks of hours are non-refundable. Travel costs may be added for journeys of an hour or more. All details will be discussed and agreed together before we begin working together.

​
 

As your birth doula, I am here to walk alongside you with calm, personalised support, based on your birth preferences and needs. I help create a safe, protected birth space, offering gentle guidance, reassurance and evidence-based information, while honouring your intuition and empowering you to make decisions that feel right for you throughout your birth journey. This service includes:

• Personalised antenatal meeting – a one-on-one session to explore your birth vision, answer your questions and help you prepare emotionally and practically.

• 24/7 on-call support – available from three weeks before your due date until your baby arrives, so you always feel supported.

​

This service is perfect for families who feel confident about birth, have minimal questions/worries and already have some postnatal support in place. Additional hours can be added if questions arise during preparation or unexpected challenges come up after birth (see Postnatal Doula support above).

​

I offer birth support on a sliding scale from £800 to £1,200, allowing you to choose a fee that feels fair and manageable for your circumstances. This approach makes my support more accessible while sustaining my work - no questions asked, just trust and wholehearted care.

​​

As your birth and postnatal doula, I’m here to provide calm, caring and continuous support throughout your journey - this offer includes full birth preparation, labour and birth support and postnatal care.

​

Birth Doula Support: 

From the moment you choose me as your birth doula, my priority is to help you feel prepared, empowered and fully supported. I’ll be available for any questions, concerns or just a listening ear throughout your pregnancy. We’ll meet for at least three personalised birth preparation sessions (usually around 2 hours each), designed to clear away confusing or misleading information and help your body and mind reconnect with their natural ability for childbirth. Together, we’ll discuss your birth preferences, explore different comfort techniques and build a plan that makes you feel confident and ready.

​

I will provide on-call support 24/7 during your labor and birth, commencing 3 weeks prior to your due date and continuing until the arrival of your baby. When labor begins, I’ll be by your side - either at home or in the hospital/birthing centre - offering emotional, informational, physical and practical support, while creating a safe, protected birth space. Whether it’s a reassuring presence or making sense of changing circumstances - my role is to help you and your birth partner feel calm, grounded and empowered throughout the experience.

​

Postnatal Doula Support:

After your baby arrives, I’ll continue to support you as your postnatal doula, helping create gentle first hours together with your baby, supporting breastfeeding and guiding you as you adjust to your new life. This includes up to 10 hours of postnatal support over six weeks, tailored to your evolving needs. Whether it’s helping with newborn care, feeding support or lending a hand around the house, I’ll be there to provide practical help and emotional support. My goal is to ensure you’re nourished, rested and have someone to talk to about anything on your mind. As you grow more confident in your new role, we’ll gradually adjust my level of support - but I’ll always be just a phone call away.

​

My goal is to offer personalised, nurturing support that meets your unique needs. From the challenges of labor to the adjustment period after birth, I’m here to make sure you and your family feel cared for and ready for this incredible new chapter with your baby.
