What is a Postnatal Doula?

Doulas are non-medical professionals who offer a range of support and continuity of care for new and growing families. As a Postnatal Doula I love offering my clients a safe and non-judgemental space to feel seen and heard. Not to mention helping out with household chores and providing evidence based information so you can make informed choices regarding you and your family.

In the heart of my  support is offering emotional support for the families I work with. Emotional support gives the families  a chance to breathe and voice any concerns, no matter how big or small. It gives them validation why they might find something hard and how it's ok to feel the way they are feeling. I will hold space so you know you're not alone in your worries and got someone to lean on. 

The list is endless when it comes to practical support. I can cook, help with usual household chores, hold the baby in a sling so parents can rest or take time to run errands. I can assist in medical appointments as well as play with older children so parents can concentrate on baby care or vice versa! Let's Doula this!

Got a decision to make but are not quite sure how to navigate it? I can be your soundboard. I can source evidence based information for you to read up on so you can make an informed choice. I can help you navigate options, so you can make the best choices for your family. Your choice, Your Way, Your Family.
