Postnatal Doula

Practical and emotional support as you transition into life with your new baby.

You’ve just done the most momentous thing. Now, let me support you and your family in savouring these precious moments with your newborn. My aim is for the parent(s) to feel nourished, cared for and supported. This allows them to truly recover from birth and show up as they wish to for their new family.

Investment:

Ad hoc, £35 per hour, minimum 3 hours.

Book a package of 18 hours and get free text support while you use your bookable hours.

Here are some of the ways I can help;

Facilitating self care for parents e.g. running you a bath, babywearing whilst you have an uninterrupted rest, making sure you can drink a cuppa whilst it's still hot.
Keeping the household on an even keel. I can support you in putting systems in place and work with you to ensure you are enabled to get the rest that you need postpartum.
Reassurance and moral support as you develop your confidence and intuition in caring for your baby.
I can offer good basic breastfeeding support, and can signpost you to local services and support groups should you need it.
Reflecting on your birth experience. I’d be honoured to hold space for you to share your birth story with me. We can explore your feelings and questions around your birth in a way that is safe for you and allows you to feel heard and held.
I have a wealth of professional cooking experience as well as training in nutrition. I’d love to support you in staying well nourished through your postpartum period.
