Postnatal Doula Care

Everyone deserves to feel nurtured and supported after having a baby. I provide bespoke care to protect your postnatal bubble, so that you can focus on your own recovery and finding your feet as a family. This will always include trauma informed emotional support, as you go through this time of change. I am an experienced breastfeeding supporter and a qualified sling peer supporter, and you will be able to use these more specific services as part of your postnatal care. It will also include general practical care to smooth out the edges of life as new parents, such as preparing food for you and light housework, to keep you nourished and your environment pleasant. You will be able to rest and focus on your new arrival. If you need support with older children, or someone to hold the baby while you take a break, I am there for you. You will have access to me for support via whatsapp, and you will know that a familiar trusted person will be coming to care for you.

Postnatal care is available as an initial booking of ten hours for £350, with the option to add more hours on top, or later. Visits are usually two hours.

Breast/chestfeeding support

Learning to feed your baby can be unpredictable, and you will need support. There are many drop ins available, but if you need support at your convenience I can help. I have over ten years experience supporting parents to feed their babies, and I understand how emotional your journey can be. I offer a private support session in your home at a time that suits you. You can take your time, feed baby when it works for them, and discuss your unique needs. If you need more specialised support I can help you to find the provider or service that suits you.

In person sessions are two hours and cost £70, and via video call are one hour for £38

Other Care

Doula services can be very flexible. Your baby doesn’t have to be a newborn either! Going away for a weekend and leaving your partner with the kids? Your loved one is poorly and you live too far away to offer support? A doula can step into the breach and provide practical and emotional support. If you have already been my client one-off overnight care can be provided to get you a good night’s sleep when you need it. I can also be available to accompany you to appointments when you might need support. My hourly rate of £38 (£35 for existing clients and block booking) plus travel expenses applies in these cases.

Discounts are available on all my services for neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ families
