My Services
I am mentored through Doula Uk, which means I am going through a recognition process in which I gain experience to add to my full qualification as a Birth Doula obtained in 2019 with Conscious Birthing.
This means I am incredibly lucky to have my very own Doula to draw knowledge and wisdom from.
When I support women and families in their birth journey, I am in close contact with my Mentor at all times, and you can rest assured that you will receive the loving care and nurturing that you deserve and need.
I strongly believe that every woman has the right to a safe, supported, informed and empowered birth.
As your doula, I will get to know your wishes and expectations around birth and will be your advocate and sounding board. I shall give you the assurances you need to have the birth and postnatal experience you require, on your terms.
Together we work on a birth and postnatal plan that really suits your wishes.
We could make a visioning board around your ideas and hopes.
I can prepare and hold a beautiful mother blessing with you. In this celebration the mother-to-be is honoured and cared for by her loved ones and she receives a blessing to mark this rite of passage. Scrummy!
But I'm not only there for the big jobs. I will make cups of tea, help around the house, keep an older toddler entertained, cook up a delicious dinner, hold your baby so you can have a sleep or a nice long bath.
I'm your listening ear, helping hand and if need be a shoulder to cry on.
​
I feel birth is a rite of passage and so much has shifted now that you are a mother. It deserves honouring. And every (new) mother deserves to be nurtured and lovingly cared for, particularly in the first forty days after birth.
I have experience helping mothers establish breastfeeding. I have also supported bottle-feeding and I hold nothing against anybody deciding to do so!
I'm a passionate and experienced cook and I grow some of my own fruit and vegetables, that I use to create wholesome meals and snacks for new mothers and their partners.
In our post-natal sessions, I shall do whatever you feel is needed at that moment. I will do your dishes, hold the baby so you can have that long-overdue shower or even the bath you so deserve! I will make you cups of tea and cook you a delicious dinner, I will write thank you cards, go to the shops, run the hoover around the house.
​Until my mentorship has been completed,
I am offering my services at a reduced rate.
