Birth Doula

"Birth is a dance between mother and child, a celebration of life and love." - Satsuki Narita

Imagine a nurturing presence by your side throughout your pregnancy journey, someone who empowers you with knowledge and advocates for your choices. That's the role of a birth doula, and I'm here to walk with you on this incredible path.

​

As your birth doula, I offer continuous emotional, physical, and informational support, creating a safe space for you and your partner before, during, and after the birth of your baby. I focus on the emotional and holistic aspects of birthing rather than the medical, fostering a positive and woman-centred experience.

​

Doula support can lead to a range of benefits, including:

​

  • Shorter labour times

  • Reduced need for pain medication

  • Lower rates of intervention

  • Increased breastfeeding success

  • Improved emotional well-being for mum and partner

​

Every family's birthing journey is unique, and so is your support. We'll create a personalised doula package that perfectly reflects your needs and preferences. This ensures you feel supported throughout your entire experience.

​

Included in my offerings as your birth doula:

​

  • At least 3 sessions prepartum to explore your expectations, birth rights, and preferences. We'll delve into the physiology of birth, explore pain relief options and comfort techniques, discuss postpartum support, breastfeeding, and any other concerns you may have.

  • A dedicated session to discover different relaxation, meditation, visualisation, and breathing techniques to help you connect with your body and baby.

  • Access to my extensive library of resources, as well as practical tools like a TENS machine and a birth pool.

  • On-Call from week 38 until your baby arrives.

  • Continuous labour and birth support, remaining until you're settled and comfortable, typically after your baby's first feed. In labours over 15 hours, I may need to take a break to ensure I'm fully present for the most crucial moments. 

  • Three 2 hour traditional postpartum sessions - with a meal at each visit included. 

  • Traditional remedies, homemade products, nourishing foods, and treats at every visit.

  •  Availability via phone, email, and WhatsApp from the moment you book until six weeks postpartum.

​

Optional extras: 

​

- Additional Postpartum Doula Support

- Mother Blessing Ceremony

- Closing Ceremony (coming soon)

​

I believe in a gentle and nurturing approach to birth. Let's embark on this journey together and create a truly empowering and supportive experience for you and your growing family.

​

Your investment would be £2,200 with payment plans and pay-in-full options available.
