Prices and packages
Postnatal Doula Support Package - 20 hours - £500.00
Package of 20 hours to be booked as soon after your baby is born as you would like.
Visits generally are for about 3 to 4 hours in duration from 10am-2pm. Dates can be confirmed on a week by week basis to allow for flexibility
Unlimited text/email/phone support should you have any questions or need any support between visits.
2 hour antenatal session where you can ask any questions you may have. Setting up your space for when baby arrives, packing your hospital bag if you are planning a hospital birth, any questions you may have around birth, signposting to local services so you have that ready. It’s an opportunity for you to talk through any worries or questions you may have.
Postnatal Planning Session - £50.00
A 2 hour private face to face or virtual session where we will talk about what is important to you and what you want your early days and weeks with your newborn to look like.
This can be useful to book in the first instance if you are unsure about booking a postnatal doula.
Ad-hoc Postnatal Doula Support - £25 per hour
I can also be booked for one off or last minute sessions at a cost of £25 per hour during the day. I can take care of baby whilst you rest, prepare your dinner or lunch, do some light housework, support your breastfeeding journey or offer a listening ear. I work for a minimum of 2 hours. Please do contact me to check my availability.
Night support £30 per hour
I can be booked for overnight support from approximately 7pm until 5am for a minimum of 4 hours (depending on your location). If you are bottle feeding I can have sole care of your baby until it’s time for me to leave or if you are breastfeeding I can bring baby to you for a feed and then take them to be changed and re settled so that you can catch up on some much needed sleep. I charge £30 per hour for overnight support and I stay awake for the duration of my time with you and also take notes of nappy output, sleep and feeding to share with you.
Overnight support in hospital is also a service that I offer. Maybe you are going to be alone overnight, perhaps after a c-section or you would like feeding support throughout the night.
Antenatal Session - £100
A 2 hour session in your home where we will talk through labour and birth and prepare you by thinking about your birth plan, talk through any questions you may have and discuss comfort measures. You may like to add a postnatal planning session to this where we can talk about those early days and feeding / breastfeeding to help you feel more prepared for your new arrival.
Birth Doula - £1300
I will provide support by:
An introductory meeting
2 antenatal visits where we will talk about labour and birth, home birth, comfort measures, induction methods, caesarean birth, your birth plan, the fourth trimester, what to pack in your bag if you are having a hospital birth and anything else that you would like to discuss.
Being available by phone, text and or email in between meetings
Being on call for two weeks before your estimated due date and up until your baby arrives
Staying with you during labour and after the birth to ensure you and your new family are settled
Providing WhatsApp support in the important early days
One 3 hour postnatal session within 6 weeks of birth included in the package where I can offer you postnatal support and we can reflect on your birth together.
I ask for 50% deposit of my packages to book and guarantee my availability.
I can also arrange support and services within the local area such as lactation consultant, postnatal massage, baby massage, placenta encapsulation. I also keep up to date with local classes and events for new parents and babies.
I cover an approximate 10 mile radius (but please do call me if you live a little further than this as I am happy to see if it is workable) from DA15 and all travel costs are included apart from parking costs.
