CALM, CONFIDENT AND CONNECTED POSTNATAL
I believe meeting people with kindness and empathy, no matter where you are in your motherhood journey. I love to chat to people about their experiences, wishes and expectations so that we can ensure you get the most out of the care and support I offer. Everyone’s needs are different. Some mother’s might prefer sleeping whilst I hold their baby in a sling or take baby for a walk for some fresh air. Other’s might like me to keep the household ticking over, whether that is running the hoover around, making sure laundry isn’t piling up or perhaps cooking some meals for the whole family to enjoy. And sometimes having just a chat over a relaxing cup of tea might be all the mother needs. I am also happy to offer some light massage for relaxation to soothe those heavy shoulders or an achy back. In the core of my role as a doula is the wellbeing of the mother and making her feel calm, confident and connected as she finds her feet as a mother. I am also available for virtual support (WhatsApp/ Text) should you need any extra emotional support or signposting in between our in person sessions. Previously I have also assisted mother's and babies to medical appointments and I am more than happy to also run errands or pick up shopping during the sessions.

I am also happy to create tailor made packages to your individual needs. You can calculate your own package cost by deciding how many days a week and hours per day you would like to book and for how many weeks. For example if you would like support 5 days a week for 3 hours per day for 6 weeks = 5 x 3h x 6 x £25 = £2250
I fully understand, as a mother to two young children myself, life with babies can be unpredictable and life can just happen, so I am flexible with pre booked hours and I am happy to reschedule even at short notice. All changes are subject to availability as I sometimes work with couple of families at the same time. I care deeply about the families I support and will always try and accommodate changes to the plans to the best of my ability.
Postnatal planning sessions of 1.5-2h can be booked on its own as well and it makes a beautiful and very thoughtful baby shower or mother blessing gift for new parents or parents to be.
The cost of the planning session is £50.
The idea of the planning session is to set intentions and open up conversations about what life can look like after your baby's arrival. We discuss any subjects related to the postnatal period like infant sleep, infant feeding, normal newborn behavior, mother’s physical and emotional recovery, your relationship, visitors, nutrition and so on. The purpose of the session is to give you tools and ideas on where to find help and support if there is any problems or tricky situations and to feel more prepared for the wonders of a newborn baby, parents and family. Because welcoming a baby truly is wonderful.
Ad-hoc: Does your partner travel for work or perhaps your usual support network is not available for a short period of time? Or would you like to plan in some selfcare for yourself? Maybe you would just like a chat with someone who will meet you with kindness and understanding without any advice or judgement? For these purposes I offer ad-hoc sessions (subject to availability) at a rate of £30 per hour, minimum 2h per session.
