CONTINUUM BIRTH DOULA
I work within the Continuum model of doulaing, this means that during your pregnancy we see each other for ideally 6 antenatal meetings. During this time we lay the foundations of our trusting relationship. I am there for your birth, and in the postnatal period I meet with you for a further 6 meetings to give you the best opportunity to have a great start to your new family.
My skills as a IBCLC are included in this package of care.
I offer a free introductory appointment. We can just have a chat, a cup of tea and meet each other to decide if we are the right match for this supportive relationship.
In the antenatal period we can explore your needs for the pregnancy, birth and postnatal period. We can get to know what comfort measures I can support with. We will discuss and form birth preferences. Listen. And most importantly build a relationship of trust.
Through the pregnancy I will be available by phone or messaging for support, we can discuss how this might work for you.
I will be on call for your birth from 37 weeks of pregnancy. In the unlikely event that your baby is coming before this date I will of course make every effort to be with you.
My fee covers my continuum doula package, on call for up to 6 weeks, care in labour, postnatal visits, infant feeding support, research into individualised needs, continued support until birth. Insurance. training, and travel.

ANTENATAL CONSULTING
I have always held the belief through all my work with families that the right decisions and innate wisdom is held within the person. I come to work with you, not to give the ‘right’ answers but to support you through your decision making.
I am ideally placed to be able to guide you through any questions around your care. Being an evidence geek, I love to review the literature and evidence around a topic. Helping you access the information to make truly informed personalised choices.
Pregnancy can be a time of multiple changes and many mixed, and at times conflicting feelings and needs. I am here to give confidential, inclusive listening and non-biased support.
£60 for the first hour consultation
£40 per hour, there after
POSTNATAL SUPPORT
I offer friendly, experienced postnatal support. I am equally at home supporting you get some rest, listening and giving emotional support, or dinner, as I am giving care to your baby. I come with a compassionate non judgmental approach, knowing that you will always be the expert in yourself and your children. I can help you to access quality informational support when you feel it's needed, but mostly I will be the person to have your back, and affirm that you've got this!
If you would like a postnatal Doula let's meet in your pregnancy if possible. If your are already a parent needing support now, give me a call, I may have availability. At the very least I am a good listening ear.
£30 per hour minimum 2hr booking
£270 per 10 hour block
