PREGNANCY AND POST PARTUM DOULA SERVICES

​

Pregnancy and Post Partum can be experienced as times of great love and joy with equal amounts of adjustment and exhaustion. This time is different for every woman and every family and your experiences in this time can vary considerably.

 

Having extra support can be reassuring and assist you in a smooth transition to motherhood. You and your family’s wellbeing is important to me.

​

Pregnancy and post partum appointments can include but not limited to:

​

• discussing your support needs during pregnancy and for your birth and post partum period

• phone and email support between appointments 

• foot soaks and gentle bodywork

• herbal teas (small additional cost for custom organic teas)

• birth plan brainstorming

• Birth education, preparation and birthing options

• support with relationships and connection

• discussing any previous birth trauma and opportunity to debrief 

• breastfeeding support

• supporting you with any questions, or concerns that may arise along the way

• Anything else? please ask. I am open to all your thoughts and ideas.

​

If there is something that's not listed above please ask. I allow flexibility within our appointments to go all the places you need to ensure a safe and supported service every step of the way.

FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION​

The free initial consultation is designed so we can meet, talk about the type of support you are seeking, your ideas for birth and any other questions you may have.

It is important to me that you feel confident with your decision, have someone you can trust, relate to and feel comfortable around. When hiring a doula it is important to find the right fit.

​

GUARANTEED 100% SUPPORT

I am available and on call from the moment you engage me to the moment you are settled with your baby.​​

In early labour I am available for regular check-ins – whether by phone or in person – until you feel ready for me to come to your birthing space of choice.

​

During labour I make sure the birthing mother is hydrated, nourished and well rested to ensure positive energy levels and an optimal birthing space is maintained. I also provide support in a physical and emotional capacity as your birth unfolds.

​

On arrival at your home or hospital I remain with you until your baby is born, breastfeeding is established or until you feel settled with your baby.

​

My services are personal, professional, flexible and 100% tailored to meet your needs.
