I'm here to support, nourish, and take care of you during those first precious weeks and months after your baby arrives. As your postnatal doula, I’ll make sure you're looked after as you adjust to motherhood. Every visit is unique and tailored to your needs. My aim is to ensure you are well rested, nourished and supported so you can dedicate yourself to healing, replenishing and make the most of being a mother. 

Before the birth, you might like to connect to talk through your ideal recovery plan. Once your baby is here, I'll visit for a set number of hours each week, tailored to what works best for you. Each visit lasts three or more hours, and I can adjust my schedule weekly based on your needs.

The postnatal doula support I offer can include:

Practical Support:

• Help with feeding, in whichever way you choose

• Taking care of your baby so you can rest, shower, or take time to yourself

• Preparing healthy and nourishing meals and snacks

• Entertaining an older sibling to give you more bonding time with your newborn

• Light housekeeping tasks and running errands

Emotional Support:

• Talking through your birth experience and helping you unpack the experience and the impact that may have had on both your body and mind

• Gently building your confidence with baby care (bathing, feeding, holding and soothing your baby)

• Helping you process the emotional shifts of new parenthood/matrescence

• Being there to listen without judgment, creating a calm and open space for you

• Gentle mum and baby yoga practice and baby massage

Information Support:

• Current, unbiased info on such topics as feeding, sleep, and baby-wearing so you feel empowered to make choices that feel right for you and your baby

• Helping you sift through the mountain of baby info to find what really matters to you

• Connecting you with local groups, resources, and activities in the community
