Pregnancy and Birth Doula
The benefits of a doula are infinite. Scientific studies have proven that having a doula with you during the birth of your baby reduces both the need for interventions and the length of labour on average by 25%. My goal is to ensure you feel safe, cared for and heard during your pregnancy and birth, and my support can be tailored to whatever your needs require.
What my support looks like:
-
Complimentary introductory meeting to answer any questions you may have about doulas and how I can help you – think of this as a chance for you to see if I am right for you!
-
Email/phone support throughout pregnancy for you and your partner.
-
At least 3 antenatal preparation sessions.
-
As much evidence-based research, resources and signposting as you need.
-
Lots of help preparing you both mentally and physically for birth, including preparing a birth plan that feels right for you.
-
On-Call 24/7 from 38 weeks, until your baby is born. Night and day.
-
Personalised labour support and guidance for you and your partner at home or in hospital so you feel safe and empowered.
-
A postnatal visit for feeding support and birth chat as and when required.
-
On-going phone/email/WhatsApp support for the first few weeks.

Post Natal Doula
Postnatal support usually starts in the first weeks after your birth, however I believe the postnatal period lasts for months and I would be happy to support you at any time, so please just ask! Don't hesitate to contact me if you need assistance, whether it's for a short period due to sickness or lack of childcare - I'm here to help.
My goal is to help you become the best possible parent to your new born baby, and ensure you have ample time to bond and feel secure in your parenting abilities. In pursuit of this goal, I am happy to provide practical assistance around the house, such as ironing (which I strangely enjoy!), taking your dog for a walk, entertaining your other children or doing your weekly shopping. My aim is to relieve you of these responsibilities so that you can rest and recover.
Most importantly, I am here to offer you emotional support and a safe space where you can share your feelings and concerns without fear of judgement. I respect that each parenting circumstance and approach is unique, and I will never dictate or criticize your choices. Instead, I can provide guidance towards relevant services, treatments, and resources that can aid you in your parenting journey. Whether you need assistance with feeding, interpreting your baby's cues, or giving your little one their first bath, I am here to help make this experience as positive and enjoyable as possible.

Baby Massage
Baby massage dates back over 3000 years and originated in Ancient India. It is a practise that has been proven to decrease levels of postnatal depression, encourages baby to sleep deeper and longer, improves and relieves symptoms like colic, constipation and teething and imporves cognitive skills and brain architecture....... to name a few!
I qualified with a distinction in my baby massage course and am now able to offer classes (1 to 1 or group). In addition to this, I offer vouchers which can be given as the perfect gift for a new mother/new parents.
