PREGNANCY

Congratulations! You've already begun to lay the foundations for your life as a parent. You may be feeling like you want support focused on the things you're going through in the present, or maybe you're looking forward towards the birth. The centre of both of these feelings can best be described as adjusting to transition. During this time I can provide a fresh pair of un-biased eyes, helping you look at where you are now, and where you would like to be at the end of your birthing journey. As my client you will always take the lead on what you want to explore, and I can support you with evidence-based practical information, links to professionals in your local area, or just a good old-fashioned shoulder to lean on. During your second trimester is also the ideal time to start your hypnobirthing sessions, find out more here

BIRTH

​

There's only one rule for birthing, I'm not a medical professional, and a doula is not a substitute for a midwife. Outside of that there are a myriad of ways you might want me to support you during the birth of your baby, physically, emotionally, or even from outside of the birthing room. Maybe looking after your birthing partner(s), or any young children who live with you. It's always more than preferable to have explored these options in full before the main event, but it's never too late to reach out to me for support as long as it's before labour has started. I can support any type of birth, at home, in a birthing unit, on the central delivery suite, including birth by c-section.

​

POST-NATAL

​

Please contact me to discuss your post-natal requirements. The variation in post-natal care that I can provide makes it difficult to find one size solution for everyone. Therefore it's best if we speak first to get a better picture of what support you what, how often you want it, and for how long. This might be affected by the amount of help you already have on hand, or if there were significant issues with the birth of your baby. The more detail you can give me, the better we can create a plan together that will have lasting benefits beyond those first precious months with your baby. 

​

​

I also offer a range of support options here for other needs, such as antenatal classes for people who won't be attending the birth.

If there's any kid of support option relating to pregnancy, birth or parenting that you can't see listed on my website, please send me an email, so I can refer you to a colleague, or look into providing the service myself.
