At it's core - a doula is someone who mothers the mother. I am qualified both as a birth doula and post natal doula - and these roles take on many forms to suit the people I work with - there is no 'one size fits all' blanket service for birth & post natal life!
As your birth doula, I will support you throughout your pregnancy and birth from the moment we decide to work together, through until you are settled at home with your new baby.
As I am an antenatal & hypnobirthing teacher, I love teaching the people I then go on to support during birth - it's a lovely way to build trust and support, and get to know each other on a deeper level whilst learning really important information about birth and all it's avenues. As it happens, usually the people who do my course end up having me as their doula if I'm available, and it's for this reason I offer an all inclusive package where you can have both the course & my birth support in one booking - this ensure's that I'm available for you as most people complete their course around 30 weeks and by this point I may not be available if you wanted to book me for your birth.
You can of course book both the course and/or my birth services separately if you wish!
The Full Antenatal & Birth Package:
The Birth Package:
Perfect if you've already attended another Antenatal/Hypnobirthing course, but would like a refresher and support during your pregnancy and birth. This package is exactly as above, except without my course and instead, we have 3+ antenatal meetings at either your home or my studio so we can get to know each other, work out how I can best support you, and talk about your birth preferences in detail. We can go through birth routes, physiology & positioning, hypnobirthing, any previous birth experiences if you'd like to discuss them and anything else you'd like to talk about!
The "Everything but the Birth" Package:
This is aimed at those who perhaps don't feel as comfortable having someone attend their birth, but still want some help in feeling calm, confident and empowered when preparing for, and recovering from, birth itself. This includes:
