The journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood is an awe-inspiring and transformative experience. Throughout this extraordinary phase, having someone skilled and compassionate by your side can make a world of difference. 

As a doula my job is to support you, wherever and however you want to birth. I can accompany you through the process of preparing for birth and support you during labour, birth and the first few weeks of bonding with your new baby by offering emotional, physical, and informational support.

If you want to have a positive and empowering experience brining your new baby to this world, I’m here to help you on this remarkable journey.

Single Prenatal Sessions

Have you just found out you are pregnant and have no idea how to begin planning your care and your birth? Or you just need to chat to someone without judgment to find some support and reassurance about becoming a mum (or a dad)? Are you not sure if you should try a vaginal birth or jump directly to an elective cesarean?

Whatever is going on on your mind, you can count on me. I provide a safe space where you can talk without fear. My sessions are nurturing, informative and non-judgmental and can be done either online or at the comfort of your own home. 

Investment : £150 (online) or £200 (in person, at your own home)

Birth Package

I see birth as a family event. It is the most precious, life-changing time and everyone deserves a positive experience. By booking my birth package, you will receive emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after childbirth. It’s the most complete way to get all benefits of having me by your side. Here’s what you will have:

• Three antenatal sessions: Two hours of a safe space where you can talk freely and without judgment. You hold the wheels, so you guide the boat, but by your side you’ll have someone to help you navigate your thoughts and provide you information about your choices. We can talk about anything, since your hopes and fears around birth, until your ancestrality and childhood and how you got where you are today. Think about a journey of self-discover, sprinkled with loads of information about birth physiology.
• On call from 37 weeks: Phone charged and with me at all times waiting for the big day, so I can quickly step in and provide assistance and guidance as needed.
• Birth attendance: When labour starts, I can be in constant attendance providing you emotional support as well as helping you making informed decisions. I can also offer physical comfort measures and relaxations techniques. I will hold your space and offer you a friendly face during labour, birth and after birth. I leave when everyone is settled.
• One postnatal visit: I’ll come back to visit you ideally between one and two weeks after your birth. I can support feeding as appropriate, celebrate the new arrival together and give you the opportunity to debrief.
• Unlimited calls and texts: From signature of agreement until six weeks after birth, I am available by phone and text to provide virtual support and to signpost when appropriate.

Extras

• Birth pool hire: If you plan to have a water birth at the comfort of you home, I can provide you complementary hire of a birth pool at no extra charge (subject to pool availability).
• Backup doula:  Although very unlikely and yet to happen, you can rest assured that even if I’m unavailable to attend your birth, you’ll have one of my trusted doulas partners with you on your big day and will receive the same level of care and support. Some of the doulas I work with: Pri Ferreira, Carol Tissot and Gabi Teixeira.

Postnatal Support

Immediately after birth and during the first weeks after baby arrives, I can come and support you and your family in whatever helps you to feel more confident and happy about your experience. I can provide you practical support with the cooking and household chores, and bring you evidence based information about your baby’s need. I can support you with your feeding choices and offer you emotional support. We can talk about your fears, concerns and celebrate the achievements you make as new parents, be they big or small. Mostly important, I can help you build the confidence as a new parent, so by the time my last session comes, you no longer need me!

I work flexibly postnatally as I believe there is no package that will fit all. I usually work for a minimum of two hours per session, depending on location, but no minimum sessions are required to be booked in advance.
