POST NATAL DOULA SERVICES

​

Early parenting is the initial period following birth. It can be a time of love, joy, adjustment and exhaustion all bundled into one. This time is different for every woman and every family and your experiences in this time can vary considerably.

​

What to expect from your post natal doula service:

 

• home visits until you are settled with your baby;

• breastfeeding support;

• emotional and wellbeing support;

• support with sleep settling;

• support with relationships;

• birth debriefing;

• household cleaning and other support referrals;

 

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.

​

Prices are negotiated depending on duration and frequency of appointments arranged. Please email me for more information or to meet for an obligation-free, no cost consultation.

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.
